Charles Blow Rips Apart Biden’s State of the Union Speech: ‘Not One Word’ About Black Americans

TRANSCRIPT:

BLOW: "If you were paying attention, Biden not once mentioned black, black people, African-Americans, negro, anything in that speech, and that is — and I kept thinking to myself, what a difference 300 days makes. When Biden gave his speech on 100th anniversary of him taking office, there was a huge section in there about speaking to — quoting George Floyd's daughter, about 'My dad’s going to make history,' and really hammering home — I think his quote was, 'We have all seen a knee of injustice on the neck of black America.' That is how strong that passage was in Biden's speech to black people and about these issues supporting black people in the 100th day speech. Not one word in this speech. Even when he was speaking about historically black colleges and universities, he used the acronym."
