President Joe Biden, delivering the commencement address to Howard University’s graduating class on Saturday, again pushed his ridiculous narrative that white supremacy represents the “most dangerous terrorist threat” to the nation.
This assertion comes despite a multitude of other pressing issues facing our country.
In his speech at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., Biden emphatically declared, “White supremacy … is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland.” He went on to claim that this was not merely a message for the historically black university, but a sentiment he expresses “wherever I go.”

However, the reality on the ground suggests a different set of priorities.

Given these significant challenges, many would argue that the urgency placed on white supremacy is disproportionate and serves more as a political tool than a genuine assessment of the country’s needs.
The president did not stop at warning of the supposed white supremacy threat. He harkened back to his 2020 campaign, urging the audience to “fight for the soul of the nation.”
He said, “Fearless progress toward justice often means ferocious pushback from the oldest and most sinister of forces,” once again driving the narrative of a nation at war with itself.
Joe Biden says the most dangerous threat to America is white supremacy. I mean, this is completely bonkers. Did anyone talk like this in the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s or even 2010’s? Of course not. Yet suddenly white supremacy is the BIGGEST THREAT in America? I don’t even think…

The president’s assertion that hate “only hides under the rocks” and that “silence is complicity” seems to hint at an attempt to keep the specter of white supremacy at the forefront of the national conversation.
Yet, many would argue that this fearmongering detracts from addressing the more tangible issues that directly affect the lives of everyday Americans.
Biden also used his speech to make indirect swipes at his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, suggesting that there are those who “demonize and pit people against one another.”

These thinly-veiled remarks again fan the flames of division rather than focusing on unity and solutions for the problems at hand.
In a time when the nation faces significant challenges on multiple fronts, it’s essential to prioritize the most pressing issues.

President Biden’s continued focus on white supremacy, while other, arguably more immediate problems persist, prompts a question: is this a genuine concern or a political narrative pushed to distract from other failings?
