Then-candidate Joe Biden ran for president on the idea of a return to normalcy. The concept of adhering to presidential norms, unwritten rules and traditions, historically followed by leaders of both parties. A belief that leaders practice common civility.
While Trump's flouting of these rules appealed to his base to varying degrees, they helped Biden win over many Republican-leaning independents and suburbanites.
But after two years, the idea of President Biden as a uniting figure has largely dissipated. Including among those who were willing to give him a chance.
Remarks by the commander-in-chief at a White House screening of the movie “Till” were the latest example of this busted myth.
WATCH:
The Associated Press reported that Biden spoke briefly before the lights dimmed and the projector started running. The crux of his comments focused on the idea that while some might want to ignore the uglier parts of our history, truth is a necessary part of the healing process.
Conservative blog Hot Air had a less charitable take after the president also stated that some white people would like to bring the abhorrent extrajudicial killing of Black people, young males especially, back — along with the odious celebratory atmosphere that often accompanied these spectacles:
His “some people” leaves interpretation wide open, doesn't it? A slick trick on the old boy's part – smear nobody specific, and everyone together. A wink to white people everywhere, “You know I didn't mean you” while the racial grievance activist community gets the “they still want you dead” message loud and clear.
Regular folks: How do you know that?
Grievance type: The president said so.
One thing I do know, and that is I know not a single soul of the kind of cretin this president is referring to. He must be remembering some of HIS friends.

This man has absolutely NO shame! When’s the last lynching America had? He makes it sound like they happen every week! Like white families take their kids to see the black man hanging from the tree! It’s funny Biden doesn’t mention his close friendship with former Grand Poobah of the Klan, whom HE eulogized Robert Byrd! Robert Byrd performed those lynchings, but Biden’s his buddy!
What an embarrassment!
Biden is almost as bad as Obama when it comes to stirring up racial hatred and victimhood.
Biden is a trouble maker, he blames White people and Republicans when anything happens to black people but the truth is he wants to tell them what to do and for Blacks to be beholden to him. God put us all on this earth and God has a reason for us all being here,every one has a purpose. Biden is a wolf in sheeps clothing
All the people he said were celebrating at this ugliness are and were
Democrats!
Yeah, and those driving racial division and violence are all fascists leftists. The KKK was an animal of the left, and it has always been the left opposing equal rights at every opportunity. “Gotta keep those minorities on the economic plantation since they can’t be kept on a real one”.
Joe Biden is a closet racist!
Part of the healing process? You don’t heal a wound by continuing to irritate it, poking around in the sore.
biden with another foot in his mouth…this man has completely lost his feeble mind.
OK, not in defence of Joebama, but seriously, if we are going to resolve this problem, we all have to be thruthful.
I’m quotetng the article….. Conservative blog Hot Air had a less charitable take after the president also stated that some white people would like to bring the abhorrent extrajudicial killing of Black people, young males especially, back — along with the odious celebratory atmosphere that often accompanied these spectacles… Joebama could not even piece that sentence together. And it was not quoted. He is so non-articulate that those sophisticated words are beyond his venacular. So, this is pure BS. But, not beyond the fact that Joebama is in fact a terrible person. However, we should not use non facts (fabricated statements) to bolster the argument. That only damages the entire front.
Come on people, there is so much BS out there in the eather, and we are choking on it.
He slanders the American public just about every time he opens his mouth whether or not words come out.
Hidenbiden is a lying, racist,arrogant.narcistic,delusional,senile,frail,old,puppet,fool. He has to be the biggest racist,in the dumbocrap party,how can people, continue not to call this disturbing,embicilic,liar out.Every time he opens his pie hole, he spews,nothing but hate and division,condemns republicans,for what he has done,this failure and embarrassment,needs to be removed for total incompetence.
SOME white people still want racial violence. Joe Biden is one of them. MOST white people never did.
If I replaced white with black in the sentences above, they would be just as accurate, with the exception of Joe Biden being one of them.
There appears to be a “negative know-nothing” hitting the thumbs down button. Time for that person to be taken to the woodshed and maybe put in the stocks and then in the dunking seat – like back in the times of the Salem witch trials. And just as an aside, I think those “witches” were white.
