The US president Joe Biden asks at civil rights event: ‘what do you think he would have done … if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol?’
Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people.
The remarks, at a dinner hosted by a civil rights organisation in a critical swing state, pointed to an intensifying battle between Biden and Trump for African American voters ahead of November’s presidential election.
“Let me ask you,” Biden said during an address to an NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) dinner in Detroit. “What do you think he would have done on January 6 if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol?”
There was a collective gasp and murmur in the cavernous convention centre, where an estimated 5,000 guests had gathered. The president insisted: “No, I’m serious. What do you think? I can only imagine.”
The Biden government and cops would've crushed the riots with way more force if they'd been lead by black americans. Just look at how much more violent the cops are against students protesting peacefully compared to how they straight-up helped the trump supporters into the Capitol most of the way lmfao.
Oh brilliant, in which case his snark about Trump doesn't make any sense because the cops would be racist on their own terms under either president.
I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of this guy to snark about police violence against rioters when he's outright encouraging the crackdown that is infinitely more peaceful.
Go back to reddit if you really want to live in the pretend world where Biden is a gentle, benevolent dictator just because you're not bothered about the people his admin is helping repress at home and abroad.

what in the world did I say that makes you think that this is my opinion? God, this place is exhausting...
Are you really that daft that you think police under trump will be more responsible and more, you know, doing their actual job of protect and serve, instead of profiling and killing?
Police across the US have been killing people at a greater rate every year under his admin, so what exactly about Biden's glowing record on police violence is worth comparing to Trump? Not to mention he wants to hire another 100,000 more pigs.
You don't get to gloat about how much better you are with black people when you're no better than the guy characterising himself as some kind of American Mussolini.
The rest of you liberals can fuck off back to reddit too. You don't get to claim victory over a fascist that your golden dementia boy is no better than. Absolutely pathetic that you act morally superior to kids dying because he's on "your team"
EDIT:
Before you leave you "but trump!!" comment, consider reopening your Reddit account because this snark about Biden being better than Trump when they both get throbbing erections for brutalised kids won't get you nearly as far as it did on that astroturfed shithole.
I get your anger, and a lot of what you say is true. However, we live in reality where you sometimes have limited options, some being bad, others being worse.
Let's see:
ALL US presidents have done a lot of shit, and in average, the US is not really a force for good in this world.
However.
I want to imagine that you understand the concept of bad, worse, worst, right?
So the US is bad for the world. Saudi Arabia is worse, China and Russia are the worst.
So Obama, I'd say, was bad. Biden is worse, trump is the worst.
What I'm (and many with me) advocating is not voting for the best, I'm advocating to vote for the least bad. Right now, it looks like you will end up either with president Biden or president Trump, like it or not. Believe me, not my choices either, but those are the cards we have been dealt.
So my question to you is: do you prefer Biden, or Trump? Do you believe that Trump will be better for the world, for the US and for you?
Trump, who famously lies and cheats to get ahead, Trump who famously said he'll deport protesting students (don't ask me how, it's his idea), trump who wants police officers to be harsher and have more authority....
Because as I understand you, and please correct me if I'm wrong, you want police to be accountable and less authoritative. Trumo will do the opposite, he claims so all the time.
So with that in mind, do you want trump or Biden? If you want neither, that's not an option, you'll get either one of those as your president and that person WILL influence the police.
Let me give you some friendly advice -- next time you want to "but both sides" something, I suggest you get basic civics correct. Otherwise it's incredibly easy to dismiss you as a very low information voter.
The Biden government and cops would’ve crushed the riots with way more force if they’d been lead led by black americans.
