Some Morehouse College students aren’t looking forward to hearing President Biden speak at their graduation ceremony later this month.
Several gathered at the men's HBCU (Historically black colleges and universities) on Wednesday to call out the school’s decision to invite Biden, calling it purely political.
"The general feeling on the ground is that we don’t want him here," a student named Malik told WSB-TV in Atlanta. "It’s very obvious that we’re being used to score political points and get more Black votes. It is so obvious that it’s just about the presidential campaign."
The students’ issues with Biden speaking ranged from anger at his response to the Israel-Hamas war to a desire to want to avoid politics entirely at graduation.
"We don’t want Biden. We don’t want politics. And we definitely don’t want Biden to come speak politics," one student said.
Another remarked, "There’s a lot more other prominent figures right now that can come to our colleges and universities and speak to us as Morehouse men."
The protest, however, seemed to primarily focus on the war in Gaza. Students were heard chanting "We won’t vote for Genocidal Joe" while holding signs reading "Free Palestine" and "End Imperialism."
Students on the scene also told WSB-TV that they expect a peaceful, silent protest on the day of the commencement speech, though Secret Service officers will be on high alert.

Amen
Free surplus cheese product is no longer an adequate sop.
Morehouse College will welcome Joseph R. Biden, the 46th President of the United States of America, as its keynote speaker for the 140th Commencement Exercises on Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 9 a.m. on the College’s Century Campus.
Maybe they will ask why Michelle didn’t speak up for the 50+ illegals to be able to stay on Martha’s Vineyard? She and Barack were silent.
She seems OK having illegals dumped on all the rest of us but not on Martha’s Vineyard.
Good for thee but not for me.
Maybe he will let the graduates rub the hair on his legs just like the pickininneys used to do at the local swimmin pool in the hood back in the day.
That assessment is correct. The difference between Joe Biden and other politicians is that he is so blatant and openly corrupt in his actions.
I think he won't pay the price for it because the Deep State will help him to win plus robust support from female voters (due to the abortion issue).
He will speak jive to connect with the hip urban black youths....
You ain’t a student if Biden doesn’t hold your note.
