Biden once again addressed the fact that America has never "fully lived up to the promise" that "we’re all created equal in the image of God and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives" during his commencement speech this Saturday at Howard University.
We know that American history has not always been a fairytale. From the start, it’s been a constant push and pull for more than 240 years between the best of us, the American ideal that we’re all create equal — and the worst of us, the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart. It’s a battle that’s never really over.
But on the best days, enough of us have the guts and the hearts to st- — to stand up for the best in us. To choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat. To stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did in my Inaugural Address — to single it out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.
And I’m not saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU. I say it wherever I go.
To stand up for truth over lies — lies told for power and profit.
To confront the ongoing assault to subvert our elections and suppress our right to vote.
I await Tommy Tuberville's return to the fainting couch.
