Joe Biden was racist and patronizing in his speech to Morehouse grads

Joe Biden was racist and patronizing in speech to Morehouse grads (nypost.com)  . . .“And most of all, what does it mean, as we’ve heard before, to be a black man who loves his country even if it doesn’t love him back in equal measure?,” he said, followed by a lackluster applause.

"I don’t throw statements like this around often because I take them very seriously: Joe Biden is a racist.

"Matter of fact, he’s the worst type of racist because he pretends to be your friend while pulling you back every time you attempt to move forward.

"He’s the friend who only calls you when he wants something and is never there for you when you’re in need.

"Joe Biden only showed up at Morehouse and other meetings featuring black people recently because his polling numbers among black Americans are decreasing and he needs us again to stay in power.

"But every time he shows up and speaks to us, he can’t help himself. He’s the black cloud ready to rain on our parade, or in this case, our graduation." . . .

The Morehouse commencement speech should have featured words of wisdom to prepare these young graduates for what they might encounter and encouragement to push through life’s obstacles.

These young scholars needed inspiration, not condescension.

Instead of using the trope of how we must work in multiples times harder than white people to find the same success, he should have told them to fight for what they want in life despite any obstruction placed in their way.

But this sentiment is impossible to get from Joe Biden — because the Democratic playbook is to reassure our victimhood status, not overcome it.

 Biden goes full racialist - Silvio Canto, Jr.  

So the country needs a uniter and we got a cynical racialist divider.  We got a so-called moderate who is telling young black men and women that the country hates them because of their skin color. Hard to believe that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would be proud of this speech!

Joe Biden's divisive, defeatist HBCU speech proves he has nothing to offer black voters (nypost.com)   "President Biden’s message for fresh-faced African-American college grads: America is racist, and black Americans are set up to fail.

"In his Sunday commencement speech at historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta, the prez vowed “to call out the poison of white supremacy,” and “to root out systemic racism.”

“ 'It’s natural to wonder if democracy . . . actually works for you,” he told the ranks of young black men; and black Americans “have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot.”

"He also threw Israel under the bus again, explicitly calling for “an immediate ceasefire” and assuring the crowd he supports “peaceful, nonviolent protest” (a fine way to describe demonstrations that have included assaults on police and destruction of property).

"The speech was divisive, defeatist and condescending — hardly the “oh, the places you’ll go!” inspiring message college grads deserve as they celebrate their accomplishments and enter adult life.

"But it was also revealing: Joe is now a one-trick pony, and that trick is pandering, hard, to the far left." . . .   

In other words, however well democracy is working, more and more black Americans are doubting that Biden is working for them. And offering them nothing but victimhood won’t turn that around.
