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...

Biden is inciting riots before the election. All resulting harm and damage is on him.

Hey Joe, black men are being killed on the street overwhelmingly by other black men. Get the facts. Someone there ought to be able to inform you.

Yep, as we all know, the MSM always ignores anything negative about their masters. But Biden is such a phony disaster that more and more people are catching on.

This Biden fellow ought to talk to whomever is running the country. They have a lot to answer for.

Minority set-asides. "Diversity" mandates. Black-only educational programs of all sorts. Welfare. Affirmative action.

Biden:

1) is lying.

2) has never had an honest job.

3) has been an elected government employee since 1974.

What The Big Guy failed to acknowledge is that 99.3% of the black men being killed in the streets are being killed by other black men!

It’s the same thing every election, but especially now since Trump is polling well with black Americans. The Dems are desperate this time around and trying to pull out all the stops: millions of Illegals, but they have to stem the tide of actual minority American citizens leaving the democrat plantation. As Carville said, they are leaving in droves.
They won’t be able to hide the cheat when all the polls reveal the impossibility of Biden winning. I’m sure they will try, and try to fake the polls, but it’s getting harder and harder for them to get people to believe them now.

A race war is important to the Dems because it divides the country and that is good for the Party that runs on identity division (i.e., oppressed vs oppressor).

Black men are shooting other blacks. What is the common activity of those murderous blacks? Illegal drug marketing. They are killing others as a means of competition to control the drug market. If you remove the drugs, these fools will have a whole lot of useless weapons.
