FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR LEO TERRELL ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S “HOSTILITY” TOWARD BLACK AMERICANS:
“Joe Biden has historically expressed racial hostility toward Black Americans. This is well documented. His racial comments have been excused by the Democrats, especially Black Democrats,” Terrell said.
BACKGROUND:
- In May 2023, President Biden told graduates at the primarily black Howard University that “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.”
- Biden added that he was not just telling the students that because they were black.
- “But on the best days, enough of us have the guts and the hearts to st- — to stand up for the best in us. To choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat. To stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did in my Inaugural Address — to single it out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy,” Biden said at the time.
