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...

Biden could care less about the Black Community.
They are being killed by other black men.
It’s called Black-on-Black Crime. Do your homework, REGRESSIVE’S!
Poetic? That is pure demagoguery.
Wrong question. Why are they being killed? Where's the dad. Ask democrats.
A trail of broken promises still leaving black communities behind. What is democracy?
Again...ask the dims. Their policies have largely been responsible for the demise of black communities.
You have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot.
Biden just told blacks they're inferior to everyone else.
The pandas are returning to China. But we still have the pander bears of the DNC.
CC
Um...surely that
What a disgusting turd.
Biden and or his handlers are professional instigators, race baiters and total assh*les for peddling that lie. Floyd was in the back seat of the police vehicle saying he couldn't breath, long before the cop had his knee in his back. With existing heart disease, Floyd basically killed himself with drugs. At max the cop should have been thrown off the department for kneeling on the suspect for so long, after the suspect was cuffed.
I can't believe he actually said this. This just proves once again he has mush for brains. Yeah, leaving black communnities behind BY MAKING ILLEGAL ALIENS YOUR PRIORITY YOU ASS!!! Just like your boss Obama!
Yes, but I’m not sure if they did so because he’s a lying fraud or they were protesting the Israel/Hamas war.
It baffles me how these students sat down and took this, what an absolute insult to have to listen to such racist bullcrap by a known segregationist on their graduation, unbelievable.
This is not a President, this is a punk. A real President would give a speech on succeeding, working hard, setting goals, tell them that they can achieve anything if they put their mind to it. No, instead he tells them they are all victims, America is racist. What a vile pig
A system in which an emotional mob can take away all rights from any minority opinion and restrict their freedoms of speech and assembly.
Another of the things that should be regularly said by Republicans especially with all the our democracy talk of the Democrats. The miseducation of America is clear to see on college campuses and in efforts like the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The Democrats have been quite successful in this and many on our side have helped by joining in on calling us a democracy. As you've done, the Republicans need to take advantage of the question that Biden raised.
Is this a perfect example of President Trump’s claim that “he can’t put two sentences together”?
OR WHAT?
What does he MEAN??
The first sentence has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SECOND SENTENCE...in my world.
He is the epitome of the “Garbage OUT” part of GI GO.
