Jason Johnson Criticizes Biden for Comments in Tulsa Speech
EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: “And I have to say this because it’s also something very near and dear to me and I wrote about this in theGrio, I know that Joe Biden is a good, decent man, he wanted to recover the soul of this nation and he looks at things in a sort of optimistic way, but please do not tell us, in the face of an insurrection, in the face of what we see in Texas, in the face of rising white nationalism in this country, please don’t tell me that a Geico commercial with an interracial couple means that we’re turning the corner, because it doesn’t and it diminishes what’s actually happening in this country. So look, I know he was well meaning and I know this was intentional but I was left wanting after this speech and really quite frustrated about how serious this administration is taking the challenges that our country and in particular black people are facing going forward."
