President Joe Biden’s recent comments during a state dinner have sparked significant controversy. The dinner, held at the White House and attended by Kenyan President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto, was designed to celebrate sixty years of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Kenya. However, Biden’s remarks unexpectedly shifted the tone of the event. He is being accused again of being a racist.

The evening was intended as a grand display of diplomacy and included a toast by Biden, a prayer from Senior White House Military Chaplain John Scott, and performances by country singer Brad Paisley and the Howard Gospel Choir from Howard University. The event was part of a broader initiative by Biden to reengage with Black voters—a crucial demographic in his strategy for the upcoming election.
Amidst these festivities, Biden made a controversial comment involving former President Barack Obama. With a discernible slur in his speech, he said, “Jill and I are honored to have you here and we’re representing… including many members of the African diaspora. One just left — Barack…” This remark was perceived by some as inappropriate and sparked accusations of racism, overshadowing the event’s intended spirit of camaraderie and cooperation.
RACISM: Despite the president's own history of racist legislation and racist remarks he takes the opportunity to demonize whites at the commencement of a historically black college. Why is Biden stoking racial division? Why isn't he uniting the nation instead of dividing it? pic.twitter.com/rFJcfFf5bq

This incident comes at a time when Biden is focusing intensely on regaining support among Black voters. Recent polling data, including a survey from the New York Times/Siena College, suggests a challenging landscape for Biden. The poll indicates that former President Donald Trump could secure over 20% of the Black vote in battleground states—a significant increase from the 10% he garnered nationally in 2020, with 12% as per CNN’s exit poll. Such figures, if realized, could be historic for a Republican candidate in a presidential election.
The backlash from Biden’s comment highlights the delicate balance he must maintain in his outreach efforts. As he works to solidify support within the Black community, maintaining sensitivity and awareness in his public remarks will be crucial, especially as he prepares for a potential reelection bid in a highly polarized and competitive political climate. Biden seems to think Blacks are still slaves of the Democrats. He dances around his own racist past and from time to time, he cannot control how he truly feels. Especially with his decline in mental faculties over the last year.

One more about him out this week
