Biden Tells Morehouse Grads: "If Black Men Are Being Killed In The Street, What Is Democracy?"
RealClear Politics ^ | 19 May, 2024 | Tim Hains

President Biden waxed poetic about race in America during a commencement address Sunday at Morehouse College, an HBCU in Georgia:

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Many of you have gone through similar or worse things. But you lean on others. They lean on you. And together, you keep the faith and a better day tomorrow. But it is not easy. I know a number of years ago, it felt like one of those Saturdays.

The pandemic robbed you of so much. Some have lost loved ones, mothers, fathers, brothers, or sisters, and they are not able to be here to celebrate today. You missed your high school graduation.

You started college as George Floyd was murdered, and there was a reckoning on race. It is natural to wonder, if the democracy you hear about actually works for you. What is democracy? If black men are being killed on the street, what is democracy? A trail of broken promises still leaving black communities behind. What is democracy? You have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot.

Most of all, what does it mean, as we heard before, to be a black man who loves his country, even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure?

[applause]

When I sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, in front of the fireplace across from my desk, I have two books: one of Dr. King and one of Bobby Kennedy. I often find myself looking at those and making decisions. I ask myself, "Are we living up to what we say we are as a nation? To end racism and poverty, deliver jobs and justice, and restore leadership in the world?"

I look down and see the rosary around my wrist...

How does his oatmeal brain spew such lies that are probably fed to him by Puppet Master B-0?

90% is black on black killing Joe so all we can infer is that you’re saying the Great Society and Democrat Plantation has failed epically

Regardless of this guy’s blathering rants, the issue in an election is the same as in oath of office and it is not ‘democracy’ (their definition is fluid, anywhere from mob rule, licentiousness, let’s make it up as we go, to marxism, fascism), it is the constitution. As in a constitutional republic

The constitution does not allow for the racism he is talking about Period

“A trail of broken promises still leaving black communities behind.”

Yep. Democrats made grandiose promises that they failed to keep. Vote for us and we’ll take care of you from cradle to grave. Hopefully blacks are waking up.

He’s been VP or POTUS 12 of the last 20 years. Isn’t it his fault by now? Ever?....

Democrats are a group combined together despite hating each other. Blacks hate Hispanics. Hispanics hate Blacks. Hispanics (legal) hate illegals. Muslims hate Jews. Jews hate Muslims. Union workers hate the immigrant cheap labor. Blacks hate Asians. Asians hate blacks. Muslims hate gays.
Muslims hate feminism.

All these groups stuck in the Democrat party.

Jews though fun the party. If Jews don’t write the checks and vote 90%+ in population centers, Dems will be toast.

Divide and conquer. Get all these opposing groups - united only in their hatred of America - to fight each other instead of us and the Dem party collapses.
