Biden received criticism for referring to 'white supremacy' as the 'most perilous terrorist threat' during his speech at a college, with some calling it 'utterly wicked'.
During a commencement speech at Howard University, President Joe Biden stated that White supremacy is the most hazardous terrorist threat in America, which was criticized by Conservative Twitter users.
Biden was criticized for taking advantage of the situation to exacerbate racial tensions in the US.
On Saturday, the 46th president gave a speech to graduates at a historic Black college in Washington D.C.'s Capital One Arena. He spoke about the challenges they may encounter due to the division within their country. The president emphasized that White supremacy is the biggest threat to the nation, including the graduates as they move forward in their lives after graduation. He made it clear that he was not only saying this because he was speaking at a Black school. Additionally, it was confirmed by HHS that a migrant teen had died in US custody.
In his statement, Biden acknowledged America's long-standing struggle with racism since its founding, stating that the country's history has not always been a perfect story.
For over 240 years, there has been a constant struggle between the American ideal of equality and the reality of racism that has divided us. This battle is ongoing, but on good days, enough people have the courage and compassion to choose love, unity, and progress over hate and division. Biden specifically addressed the danger of White supremacy, calling it the most dangerous terrorist threat to our country. He received applause from the audience and emphasized that his statement was not just because he was speaking at a Black HBCU.
Wherever I go, I always make this statement. The crowd found it amusing. A federal judge has prevented the Biden administration from releasing migrants without court dates as Title 42 comes to an end. Conservatives on Twitter were not amused, but rather troubled by what they saw as typical Biden divisiveness. Jon Miltimore, the managing editor of the Foundation for Economic Education, tweeted that the Democratic Party used blatant racism to win elections for most of the 19th and a significant portion of the 20th century.
They are repeating the same action in the current era of the 21st century.
The form of racism present today is not the same as it was in the 1800s, according to Elijah Schaffer, a conservative influencer. Joe Biden recently stated at Howard University that white supremacy is the biggest threat to America, which was shared by Jake Schneider of RNC Research. Clay Travis of OutKick.com found this statement to be absurd.
He posted on Twitter, "I find this to be utterly crazy."
Was this way of speaking common in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, or even 2010s? Absolutely not.
The sudden claim that white supremacy is the greatest threat in America is being questioned by some. A journalist accused Biden of being a pathological liar who is being supported by the media to create racial division. Another journalist simply called it "pure evil."
