January 1, Biden’s Morehouse Address Paints A Bleak Picture Of America
President Joe Biden’s commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta painted a bleak picture of America. He described the country as a racist place that doesn’t love black people. In his speech, Biden referred to George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent racial reckoning.
He questioned the state of democracy for the black community. Biden said, “You started college just as George Floyd was murdered.” He continued, “It’s natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you.”
The president asked, “What is democracy if black men are being killed in the street? What is democracy with a trail of broken promises leaving black communities behind? What is democracy if you have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?”
He also questioned, “Most of all, what does it mean, as you’ve heard before, to be a black man who loves his country even if it doesn’t love him back in equal measure?”
During the ceremony, at least three Morehouse graduates turned their backs on the president. This was due to his support for Israel. One of them wore a keffiyeh scarf to signify solidarity with Palestinians.
The press pool traveling with Biden acknowledged seeing one student standing at the back with his back turned and his right fist raised.
Biden addressed the recent Hamas attack on Israel. He focused on the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza” and called for an “immediate ceasefire.” He encouraged students to have their “voices heard” in reference to pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses.
In addition to discussing race relations and the Israel-Palestine conflict, Biden touched on voting rights issues. He later echoed these sentiments in a speech to the NAACP in Detroit.

Only three turned their back during the president’s speech ??? Again, the entire picture is being obscured. Another news station played the speech live and the majority of the graduating class turned their backs.

His speech is indicative of his presidency
He has trampled on the rights and freedoms of all Americans
He pits us against each other to proliferate power to himself as a problem solver interested in all people when in reality all he wants is suppression of all ethnic groups that are dependant on governmental assistance and their votes to continue governmental control.
We, the people, red, white, black and blue do and can control the government, with our votes, we elect leaders, human beings whom seek the best interest of all the people, not the select few you have empowered themselves as your God
I have a God, the God who created us all
We need to vote for representatives who belt others before self

His speech was nothing but political fishing! Like every Democrat he lies through the teeth or twists things to be favorable for him. Unfortunately, too many people (black, brown, white) believe his lies which will be the detriment of America. Wake up people or you will be living a socialist/communistic country with nothing. I’m glad I didn’t vote for Biden. My vote is too important to waste it like that.In fact, for almost four years I haven’t had a president

What a disgrace this bumbling, fumbling Marxist Moron is to our country.
A corrupt man who sold out his country, corrupted his own family, even showered with his young daughter.
What a disgrace!~
