I have met a bunch of people in my life. I can't remember meeting a white supremicist.
White Supremacy Is The ‘Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat,’ Biden Tells Howard Grads...
In a commencement address to graduates of Howard University, President Joe Biden warned: “The most dangerous threat to our homeland is white supremacy.”
“And I’m not saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU,” he said from Washington, D.C.’s Capitol One Arena, adding, “I say it wherever I go.”
Biden drew a sobering picture of the national political landscape with his address, touching on the threats to American democracy, threats to suppress Black history, and threats of violence — including the recent bomb scares made to HBCUs, or historically Black colleges and universities.
“I thought, when I graduated, we could defeat hate,” Biden said. (He earned a law degree from Syracuse in 1968.) “But it never goes away. It only hides under the rocks.”
He added: “And when it’s given oxygen, it comes out from under that rock. That’s why we know this truth as well: Silence is complicity.”
Biden then reiterated a line he’s spoken often in past speeches, that America is “the only country founded on an idea,” although one that “we’ve never fully lived up to.”
(we've never fully lived up to) WTF is he talking about?
