White House Christmas Celebration Features ‘Defund Police Group’

-

During the 2020 election, many believed that would govern as a moderate. However, his actions and those of his administration suggest otherwise. In one of the most recent examples, President Biden declined to invite the families of American hostages captured by to the . In such cases, the president's actions tend to be more telling than his words.

This holiday season, the First Family once again demonstrated their radical nature by desecrating the White House.

With fast approaching, had a dance troupe parade around the White House in a bizarre video.

The performance garnered a visceral, overwhelmingly negative reaction on social . Although art is subjective, the story doesn't end there. What the dance troupe stands for is the real scandal.

Dorrance Dance, a tap dance company founded by Michelle Dorrance and Josette Wiggan in 2011, confirmed that they choreographed the dance on their Facebook page.

According to their website, Dorrance Dance supports defunding the police, abolishing prisons and diminishing 's standing in the world. A dedicated section on the studio's homepage is focused on “social justice” and “resistance,” listing ways that “white people can take action in response to white and state-sanctioned violence.”

As New Conservative Post reports:

Along with messages about “abolishing prisons,” one of the links posted by the group invited to the White House by the First Lady reads as follows: “For much of U.S. history, meant implementing laws that were explicitly designed to subjugate Black people and enforce white supremacy. That's why Black people, along with hundreds of thousands of others, are calling for city, state, and federal governments to abolish policing as we currently understand it. We must divest from excessive, brutal, discriminatory policing and invest in a vision of community safety that works for everyone, not just an elite few.

We know the safest communities in America are places that don't center the police. What we're looking for already exists, and we already know it works. We need look no further than neighborhoods where the wealthy, well-connected, and well-off live, or anywhere there is easy access to living wages, , quality public , and freedom from police terror.

We can't stand by while our city, state, and federal governments continue to fund an excessive, brutal, and discriminatory system of policing. We will no longer be told that what we deserve is not politically viable or logistically possible. We will no longer be deprived of what others have long enjoyed in this country: basic rights, safety, and freedom.

When we talk about defunding the police, we're talking about making a major pivot in national priorities. We need to see a shift from massive spending on police that don't keep us safe to a massive investment in a shared vision of community safety that actually works. We know this won't happen overnight. We're tired of quick fixes and piecemeal reforms. Ending police violence will require a thoughtful, deliberate, and participatory approach that has already begun.”

President Biden has publicly shied away from supporting the “defund the police” campaign.

Though actions speak louder than words.
