But it will still be as meaningless as the honorary degree Biden received from Howard just for showing up.<\/p>\n<p>  Should Biden apologize for his out of place comments?<\/p>\n<p>     Video of the whole address is below:<\/p>\n<p>  <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LIVE: Biden gives commencement speech at Howard University | NBC News\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gQ33MHr7uPM?start=4641&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p> If there\u2019s any party in the United States that has put racism at the forefront of its agenda since its founding it\u2019s been Biden\u2019s Democrats. The Democratic Party was the party of slavery. It was the party of the Confederacy and the Civil War. Those are historical facts \u2014 not some 1619 Project-style hallucinations.<\/p>\n<p>  It was the party of Jim Crow. It was the party of Massive Resistance. Today, it\u2019s the party of dividing Americans by skin color, from grade school to college, or to their careers.<\/p>\n<p> So, racism is a cancer metastasizing in the progressive left, but even mentioning \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d as the single greatest terrorist danger to the U.S. in 2023 is an insult to the intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>  Islamic terrorism has been out of the headlines lately, but remains ever present. (Regrettably, it could well be back in the headlines by the time this article is published, for all anyone knows.)<\/p>\n<p> Since the summer of 2020, it\u2019s been leftist violence that has marked political extremism in the U.S., whether Black Lives Matter protesters burning down cities, abortion activists torching birthing centers and attacking Catholic churches, or the potential for assassination forcing Supreme Court justices to receive security details.<\/p>\n<p>  And that doesn\u2019t even take into account the threat of potential terrorism or coming over the all-but-defenseless southern border with the countless illegal immigrants flooding into the country thanks to Biden\u2019s impeachable abdication of duty.<\/p>\n<p> The single biggest tell of the lack of violence linked to \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d in the county is the almost comical desperation to find \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d motives\u00a0in horrific crimes, the amount of media attention devoted in the rare occasions when it actually exists (as opposed to the useful lessons the crimes might hold for Second Amendment rights), and the indifference of Democratic officials and the establishment media when a crime fails to fit the approved narrative.<\/p>\n<p> (Has anyone heard about the Nashville school killer\u2019s manifesto, lately?)<\/p>\n<p> Biden\u2019s flogging of the \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d boogeyman drew the backlash it deserved on social media.<\/p>\n<p>   The Democratic Party spent most of the 19th Century and much of the 20th using overt racism to win elections.<\/p>\n<p> They are doing again in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p> The racism just looks a lot different than the 19th century version. pic.twitter.com\/anijzjjWlV<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) May 13, 2023<\/p>\n<p>    I don\u2019t know any \u201cwhite supremacists.\u201d Does he?<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 ClownBasket (@ClownBasket) May 13, 2023<\/p>\n<p>    Remember, this is the guy who was against forced busing for school desegregation because, he said, \u201cI don\u2019t want my kids to grow up \u2026 in a racial jungle .\u201d (Even the left-leaning Snopes had to acknowledge the quote was real.)<\/p>\n<p> There are a lot of good reasons to oppose forced busing that have nothing to do with race, but using the word \u201cjungle\u201d gives the game away.<\/p>\n<p>  The man who called the black community a racial jungle. pic.twitter.com\/5UoHss3uIm<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 Jos Ilagan (@AuthorSpyNovel) May 13, 2023<\/p>\n<p>    But it was in another part of the speech that Biden told the truth \u2014 about himself, about his political party, and about their allies in the establishment media and the elite worlds of entertainment and academia.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThere are those who demonize and pit people against one another. \u00a0And there are those who do anything and everything, no matter how desperate or immoral, to hold onto power. \u00a0And that\u2019s never going to be an easy battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Let\u2019s see, which political side in this country is obsessed with demonizing and pitting Americans against each other? Which side has demonstrated repeatedly that it\u2019s willing do do \u201canything and everything\u201d to maintain its hold on power?<\/p>\n<p> That\u2019s as accurate a description of the left in the United States today as is likely to be written any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>  It\u2019s also a preview of the next year\u2019s presidential campaign from the already-disastrous Democratic side \u2014 no matter what name is on the Republican ballot.<\/p>\n<p> And it\u2019s a look at how ugly 2024 is really going to be.<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Joe has spent more than 30 years as a reporter, copy editor and metro desk editor in newsrooms in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Florida.
