CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 22, 2024
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES HAVE USUALLY BEEN THOUGHT OF AS A TIME TO INSPIRE GRADUATES.
THAT WASN’T THE CASE AT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, AN HISTORIC SCHOOL FOR BLACK MEN IN ATLANTA. IN HIS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS, PRESIDENT BIDEN PLAYED THE RACE CARD, THE WHITE SUPREMACY CARD AND THE GUILT CARD. IN POKER IT WOULD BE CALLED THREE OF A KIND.
A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL HEADLINE LABELED THE SPEECH: “AMERICA HATES YOU.” IN HALF OF THE SPEECH, BIDEN TALKED ABOUT HIMSELF AND MADE CLAIMS HIS HOME STATE OF DELAWARE WAS RACIST UNTIL HE ARRIVED ON THE POLITICAL SCENE.
BIDEN KEPT REFERRING TO AMERICA AS A “DEMOCRACY.” WE’RE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
HE SAID: “WHAT IS DEMOCRACY IF BLACK MEN ARE BEING KILLED IN THE STREET? WHAT IS DEMOCRACY IF A TRAIL OF BROKEN PROMISES LEAVES BLACK COMMUNITIES BEHIND?” “AND MOST OF ALL,” HE SAID, “WHAT DOES IT MEAN…TO BE A BLACK MAN WHO LOVES HIS COUNTRY EVEN IF IT DOESN’T LOVE HIM BACK IN EQUAL MEASURE”?
BLACK MEN WHO ARE BEING KILLED IN THE STREETS ARE BEING KILLED MOSTLY BY OTHER BLACK MEN IN CITIES RUN BY DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS. MOREHOUSE SHOULD HAVE INVITED A SUCCESSFUL BLACK MAN WHO HAS OVERCOME ADVERSITY TO ADDRESS THE GRADUATES. INSTEAD, THEY GOT A POLITICAL AND SHAMEFUL SPEECH. I’M CAL THOMAS.
