Biden Visits The Weakest Link?
And there was darkness (tenebris). The President of Morehouse College, David A. Thomas, set the historically Black college back 157 years. Morehouse’s Motto reads, “And Then There Was Light.” Not anymore!
William Jefferson White found Morehouse College in 1867, just 18 months after African people were freed from slavery in America.
The American Civil War had just ended, and the formerly enslaved people were thirsty for education. The enslavers previously denied them the right to read or go to school.
Joe Biden’s Historical Racial Animus.
President Joe Biden is known to many in the Black community as Jim Crow Joe. Biden was one of those racist bigots who pushed for continued school segregation. Biden is the architect of the 1994 crime bill that put more African Americans in prison than any other president, aside from Bill Clinton. So, while Biden wants to prevent Black people from getting an education, he’d rather have them incarcerated. Morehouse College is a male institution of higher learning.
Student Body And Faculty Disagree On Biden?
Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs Kendric Brown had scheduled a meeting for Thursday. Provost Brown emailed faculty members before the conference. Brown advised that the recalcitrant Thomas will not rescind his invite to Biden.
“Just to be clear, the college will not cancel its invitation to President Biden,” Kendrick Brown wrote.
Before Bident’s visit, the student body and Alumni circulated petitions asking Morehouse president David A. Thomas to rescind the invitation to Biden.
Experts estimate the incarceration rate for Black men in America at 28.5 percent. The rate of incarceration for white men is 4.4 percent — about the same rate of 3.6 percent for Black women. Inviting President Joe Biden to give a commencement address or political speech should be unacceptable.
One can only hope the student body will turn their backs on Biden once he shuffles on stage. The Mike Bloomberg welcome should be the order of the day during his run for President.
At least Mike Bloomberg had the decency to apologize for his “Broken Window’ law established to imprison African Americans. On May 19th, 2024, President Joe Biden will give the commencement address to the Morehouse’s class of 2024. President Biden has a right to visit and speak at Tim Davis’s invitation. However, it is incumbent upon the student body to show self-respect and turn their backs on him when he mounts the stage. It’s easy: do a 180-degree turn.
Morehouse College has produced some of America’s greatest minds and thinkers and will continue to make great minds. Morehouse men of courage, honor, and dignity, on May 19th, show your strength.
Clinton Franklin is a formally trained Computer Scientist and a writer at heart. Clinton is an avid observer of nature and a lover of people and diverse cultures. He adheres to the adage, “Think globally, but act locally.”
It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
Embrace the three Constants: Change, Justice, and Rightness.
The thought police are busy at work trying to suppress free speech — if allowed their march to madness — they will arrest your very thoughts.
