He was trying to say "eager to hear". At worst, he said "neager to hear". He previously used the n-word around '85, but he was reading a quote. Biden is a corporate tool, and out of touch... but I certainly don't find him to be a racist.

Biden was one of the biggest supporters of segregation and one of the Ku Klux Klan's strongest allies, and he even stated "I don't want my kids growing up in a racially mixed jungle!" He sounds pretty racist to me
