  • Imagine an all black school inviting someone from the party that enslaved their ancestors and who authored the 94 crime bill to speak at their commencement.

    As a black millennial the democrats will probably never see my vote.
  • They don’t like you. That’s how it goes you reap what you sow.🤬🤬🤬🤬

    I am a black man who voted for Biden, never again.. I live in fear in my city. I have stopped walking to the coffee shop or grocery store. I drive everywhere, my city has turned into a tent city overtaken by crime. Come at night after the store closes to the Hawthorne Walmart which is in Los Angeles. The Parking lot at night is full of cars. You will see black families living their cars while we are sending billions of dollars to support other countries while my people are suffering here. I truly with all my heart believed trump was bad for us until I Biden came into office. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice … you know the rest
  • He’s down nearly 10 points in the polls in Georgia, taking his pandering to the next level down South.
  • @cindycliburn716
    So the students wishes aren't important .... " If you don't vote for me then you aint black."
  • @user-vb6ic9qt7t

  • @alexadams7771
    "If you have a problem voting for me or trump than you aint black" Joe biden
  • But..Joe broke Nelson Mandela out of prison. Joe also grew up in the projects. I think he was a Crip.
  • Worng reporter. Biden has had more than ample opportunity to speak about events. His handlers know it would be a disaster for Biden to speak.
  • Most f'd up depressing commencement speech. This kids deserved inspiration not some dark foreboding campaign speech. Not you house Biden, its ours! You work for us.
  • @DDd-gm8uz
    Give him the Samuel L. Jackson treatment.
  • 🙄 They're not protesting the genocide in the Black community, Hate Crime Bill, Police Reform, George Floyd Bill, John Lewis Bill and Reparations? 🤔🙄 Mind your business. 🤨 This is NOT our fight. 🙄
  • @PamelaTaylor
    Wait What Country Is This Footage From, Cause The YOung People Arent Wearing The American Gear?
  • @WalkiTalki
    They are his people. He don't care. How do you think they already know his schedule to call in ahead of time?
