President Joe Biden has issued a proclamation recognising the 100th anniversary of one of the bloodiest episodes of racist violence in the US, in which hundreds of Black people in Tulsa were killed and no one was ever charged with a crime.

“I call on the American people to reflect on the deep roots of racial terror in our nation and recommit to the work of rooting out systemic racism across our country,” the president said in a Memorial Day proclamation.

Biden called ‘creepy’ after attempting to compliment young girl by saying she ‘looks 19’President Joe Biden is under fire after he attempted to compliment a young girl who he said ‘looks 19-years-old’ during a speech at a military base in Virginia on Friday. It is what happens when the only realistic chance to replace a very senior and racist white man is a very senior centrist white man. Harris would have made a much better president than Biden. But did he grab her by the pussy? The bar was lowered. You can't just put it back up to try to stir outrage. Dammit! He's a republican!!
