Biden Calls on Morehouse College Graduates to Defend Democracy

In a commencement speech at Morehouse, the historically ****** men’s college in Atlanta, President Biden condemned white supremacy and “extremist forces aligned against the meaning and message of Morehouse.”

You started college just as George Floyd was murdered and there was a reckoning on race. It’s natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually works for you. What is democracy if ****** men are being ******* in the street? What is democracy if the trail of broken promises still leave ****** communities behind? What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot? Well that’s my commitment to you. To show you democracy, democracy, democracy, is still the way. That ****** men are being ******* in the streets, we bear witness. For me, that means to call out the poison of white supremacy. Graduates, this is what we’re up against: extremist forces aligned against the meaning and message of Morehouse. And they peddle a fiction, a caricature, of what being a man is about — tough talk, abusing power, bigotry. But that’s not you. It’s not us. You all know and demonstrate what it really means to be a man. Being a man is about strength of respect and dignity. It’s about showing up because it’s too late, if you have to ask. It’s about giving hate no safe harbor.
