Joe Biden is right.
Joe Biden is right that African-American people in the US are treated unfairly - and his condescending speech to black college graduates on Sunday exposed him as one of the worst perpetrators, writes Adam B. Coleman. The culprit of such behavior: Joe Biden himself.
It was littered with identity politics, black trauma narratives, and an emphasis on how our existence is determined by how much struggle we must endure. “And most of all, what does it mean, as we’ve heard before, to be a black man who loves his country even if it doesn’t love him back in equal measure?,” he said, followed by a lackluster applause.
He’s the friend who only calls you when he wants something and is never there for you when you’re in need. But every time he shows up and speaks to us, he can’t help himself. He’s the black cloud ready to rain on our parade, or in this case, our graduation. Friends don’t use our times of celebration to make it about themselves, and they don’t use painful narratives to extract love from us, either.
