 Biden’s divisive, defeatist HBCU speech proves he has nothing to offer black voters

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.

White House issues a whopping nine corrections to Biden's NAACP speech transcript
Biden suggested that he was vice president during the coronavirus pandemic

The White House transcript made nine corrections to President Biden’s gaffe-filled speech to the NAACP on Monday.

Biden made multiple confusing comments and flubbed words while speaking to the civil rights organization in Michigan the night before. One notable one included his suggestion he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic, which began nearly four years after he left office.

"When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic," Biden said near the beginning of his remarks. "And, what happened was Barack [Obama] said to me: ‘Go to Detroit — help fix it.’"

The next day, the White House’s correction implied that Biden intended to say "recession," referencing the Great Recession when he assumed the vice presidency in 2009.

What self-respecting white man (or white woman, although there are a high number of stupid examples) would vote for an administration like this?
