The academic year is coming to an end, thankfully. It has been characterized by some of the worst antisemitism since the Nazi regime and demonstrations by campus (and non-campus) radicals, many of whom appear to have been indoctrinated by professors whose anti-American, anti-capitalism and anti-Jewish ideas were formed in the corrupt philosophies of the ’60s.
President Biden’s commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, a historic school for Black men, was an imperfect end to an imperfect academic year.
The president played the race card, the white supremacy card and the guilt card. In a poker game it would be called three of a kind.
The Wall Street Journal headlined its editorial on the speech “Biden to Morehouse Graduates: America Hates You.”
Biden’s past remarks on race are the opposite of what he preaches today. The Heritage Foundation has compiled a few of them: In 2010, he warmly eulogized Sen. Robert Byrd, a former exalted cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan, saying he was “one of my mentors” and that “the Senate is a lesser place for his going.” In 2007, he referred to Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean.” In 2006, he said, “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” Way back in 1977, he said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
