Biden shares Fourth of July message focusing on racism: 'We have a chance to live up to the words that founded this nation'
The Hill ^ | July 4, 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Posted on 07/04/2020 8:21:10 AM PDT by Stravinsky

Former Vice President Joe Biden made race a central theme of his July 4 message as the country grapples with widespread unrest over systemic racism and police brutality.

Speaking to the camera interspersed with video of past civil rights struggles, Biden said the country has not lived up to its creed – noting centuries of racism, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the killing of George Floyd in May – but that the U.S. is primed for a change.

“Our country was founded on an idea: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ We’ve never lived up to it. Jefferson himself didn’t – he held slaves, women were excluded. But once proposed, it was an idea that couldn’t be restrained,” he said. “Through it all, these words have gnawed at our conscience and pulled us towards justice.

“We have a chance to rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country,” Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee, added. “We have a chance to live up to the words that founded this nation.”

Obama is not a natural born citizen, he was never legitimately President, he was an usurper.

He was lying, he hates this country.
He wanted a second term of usurpation.

My point is, even with all that he talked Presidential on July 4. Was it a sham?-likely. But he wore the mask, dutifully (at least a decade ago).

Ironically, Biden is wearing a physical mask but the other one fell off.

I have an idea: let’s teach our kids that the men who wrote those words and risked their lives for them, are evil white oppressors, then let’s desecrate the statues and monuments to those ideas

...as the country grapples with widespread unrest over systemic racism and police brutality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, but I don't accept the premise.

Here's the corrected version:

"...as the country grapples with widespread unrest over leftist agitprop that falsely alleges systemic racism and police brutality."

Because of the usurpation and all that Obama inflicted on this country they no longer need the masks.

Apparently slow joe, and his minders and supporters, believes that violence does solve everything?

How? By voting for people like you who have been in power for over 40 years and haven't done a damn thing about it?

Whites will always be cast as the racists so the liberal elites can suck us completely dry of property and freedom.
