Biden Claims White Supremacy is America’s Greatest Threat at Howard University Graduation

President Joe Biden delivered the commencement address at Howard University, a historically black college and university (HBCU), on Saturday. In his speech, he spoke about America’s ongoing battle against racism, stating that it is “a battle that’s never really over.” He then went on to warn graduates about what he believes is the greatest threat to our nation: white supremacy.

“The Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat to Our Homeland is White Supremacy”

Biden did not hold back in his speech, stating that “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.” He received applause from the crowd and made it clear that he believes this to be true no matter where he goes. He also took a veiled shot at his opponent, former President Donald Trump, by stating that there are those who “do anything and everything, no matter how desperate or immoral, to hold onto power.”

Protests from Howard Students

Despite Biden’s attempts to encourage the graduates, some Howard students in the crowd protested the Biden administration’s apparent failure to stand up for African Americans. Signs in the crowd read “Biden and Harris don’t care about Black people” and “A Black child was lynched yesterday!” referring to the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway earlier this month.

Howard Grads Represent “The Best” of America

Biden concluded his speech by telling the Howard grads that they represent “the best” of America and that they will determine America’s future. He made it clear that he believes the oldest, most sinister forces may try to determine America’s future, but they are wrong.
