    Any chance people could actually link to the statements/speeches/utterings/actions that they criticising Biden for?

    Posting “I can’t believe Biden just said that about X” and not linking anything makes it a nightmare to follow what’s going on

    they/them/theirs


    And so on, and so on …. - Slavoj Žižek

    Really cringeworthy speech by Biden just now.
    Complete virtue signalling and race baiting.

    Very disappointing to see the head of the country saying that there is systemic racism in America.
    He mentioned Georges's legacy and also said that George changed the world.

    Its this melodramatic virtue signalling that is destroying the US.
    George Floyd was not a good man, but he didn't deserve what he got, but he is no saint.
    There are 800000 police in the US, the vast majority do a good job, lets not tar them all with the same brush.

    Why, when it is true? Disappointing that he doesn’t blow smoke up Americas ass?

    What are you suggesting Biden said that ‘tars 800k police with the same brush??’ Quote?

    The reason George Floyd matters so much - and why each of these cases matters so much - is because as you just agreed yourself, he didn’t deserve what he got. And neither do so many others in so many other situations and jurisdictions that people as yourself who champion that line will find it increasingly hard to sell the argument that is not a systemic problem.

    Biden set to announce the US has hit more than 200 million shots, a week before his 100-day target

    Extensive academic research and data collected by the government and researchers proves that systemic racism exists but some lad on boards thinks it's a lie. You just have to laugh sometimes!

    Biden’s behaviour here is far more damaging and dangerous than what he himself is alleging.

    He’s stoking division and fear and hate and inciting racial tensions.

    Something he lambasted Trump for doing..

    Telling black people and non whites that the country is systemically racist...

    the country was founded on systemic racism. Racism was the law until a year or two before I was born. It hasn't gone away in the intervening years.

    It wasn't rhetoric.
    How is he stoking division and fear?

    Aside from screaming "the sky is falling" continuously, we get very little answers or evidence.

    He has been stoking fear and division for over a year.

    He was getting hammered in the primaries until he switched tactics and fully embraced identity politics.

    BLM effectively won him the election.

    Clearly not, but that won’t stop him claiming it doesn’t exist.

    The word "racism" is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything — and demanding evidence makes you a "racist."

    I do

    And if we go by your attitude there will always be systemic racism, because you can always refer to the past..

    Racism exists everywhere. Systemic racism did exist in America.. it was active!!

    It is not now. There is not a single law/rule that discriminates against non white people.

    The biggest problem is not systemic racism. It’s attitudes like yours that won’t leave it in the past, where it both is, and where it belongs..

    Duh!

    Yeah, imagine calling out racism.
    What a monster.


    BTW, this was from the same speech.

    "This is a time for this country to come together, to unite as Americans. We can never be any safe Harbor for hate in America. I’ve said it many times. The battle for soul of this nation has been a constant push and pull for more than 240 years, a tug of war between the American ideal that we’re all created equal, and the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart."

    Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as "racists."

    Whatever next?

    Being competent won him the election.

    You still haven't explained how he's stoking fear and division?

    That is the issue. Look up the definition of systemic racism. Laws are very much a factor...

    You don’t have a monopoly on its meaning.

    Systemic racism existed. It does not exist now.

    Racism exists....and always will. It’s a human condition. A human trait. We all are capable of exhibiting it.
