President Biden took the stage at an event for historically Black colleges and universities on Monday to promote a list investments and grants made to many of those schools under his watch, including a new $1.3 billion round of federal investments aimed in part at giving historically Black schools a competitive edge in research.

The president’s appearance at the conference in Philadelphia helped underscore a pledge to support historically Black institutions that he has returned to throughout his term, both in symbolic gestures such as addressing graduates at Howard University and Morehouse College, as well as more concrete measures such as boosting federal investment.

How much did the racist pedophile send to the Hispanic and Asian colleges? The Native Americans have colleges. What about them? I’ll be glad when that gangstah maggot is out of the White House. He’s been a disgrace to America.

It’s a shame his policies destroyed the jobs that would have awaited them.

Biden doesn’t ‘invest’ in black colleges or any other government-funded cause. He spends taxpayer dollars to ‘invest’, and a significant proportion of those dollars come from people who many NYT aficionados look down their noses at. They scoff at American taxpayers, but applaud those who confiscate their earnings and use them to buy political power.
