He also drew a contrast with President Donald Trump, who drew fire for early morning tweets that said where there was looting, there would be shooting.

Biden’s address comes days after the 46 year old Floyd was seen on video being pinned down by a Minneapolis police officer with his knee to Floyd’s throat, which ultimately led to his death.

'I CAN'T BREATH' watching all of this arson, looting, rioting, showing why they end up with a knee on there neck.

really Joe you of all people shouldn't be saying look back into your past

Same BS they say always.

Why didn't you do it with Obama

Speaking of souls— Biden sold his soul a long time ago...he just doesn’t remember, or where he is half the time

Donald is a virulent racist but Joe is an everyday racist. Neither is acceptable for American in 2020 and we need an actual SecondParty not just a single corporate party split into two bickering, quarreling factions.

How about 'burning down cities doesn't honor the dead'? The left doesn't care about you.

MeanProgress Racism is how trump became faux president.

The difference is we actually believe that Biden did but we question Trump for obvious reasons

Bidens a twit

President Biden brings some grace to the nation.

Joe comes Out of basement Only to . embarrass everyone but him their is this commercial on tv and the actor just couldn’t get his lines together so the director said dubbed it I wonder if they will do the same For Joe B. he can move his lips and his party can fill in the words

That is what a President does. Any past president Dem or Republican President would have made that very call. Prayers for Mr. Lloyd's little one, his finance and all of his family and friends. They need healing and comfort. Peace, harmony and love. No more destruction

Funny how the Democrats seem to push for a divide in the races and only bring racism up during elections. It is on BOTH SIDES as well. The so called protestors yelling shoot whites....there is a serious issue on both sides.

make sure those people are registered to vote!

Wonder if he still considering the 'closet' racist, Amy Klobuchar for VP 🤔

Great job Joe. If only you would have done something when you were VP to stop the polarization of the races. Inner city violence in blue cities skyrocketed under your incredibly week watch. God help us all if you are elected

Did you have to look at a teleprompter..Ha Joe..Your trying to dvide our country..

But according to Biden, you ain’t black if you don’t vote for him.

Remember you been in office for many years, virus in 2003, 2009, 2014, 2016, 2020 ObamaGate YouAintBlack

No, the soul of America is not at stake but our freedoms are and besides I thought Obama and Biden resolved the issue of racism. 🗽🇺🇸

Isn’t the example the cop being arrested and charged with murder? What else would you like, should whites pay a “black-tax” to even it out?

He’s trying to win votes 😂

Arriadna A true leader.

He said blacks were no black if they didn't vote for him. Can you we all confront him for his racist comments?

I miss real leaders. Not the one that cries on Twitter about Twitter and a multitude of other things.

Pretty sure his white fiance said to stop the riots

We need a unfier. I agree. Last night was a lot more dangerous than people realize. Godspeed.

I’m still pushing for child abuse awareness! I’m open to tips and ideas! Please help 💜💜 Also a documentary on child abuse explaining the Cinderella Effect:

VOTE!!!! COUNTDOWN..

This is what understanding looks like. This is what empathy and compassion looks like. This is what the truth looks like. This is what moral leadership looks like. Dare I say, this is what “Presidential” looks like, as opposed to inciting violence by tweet.

good

WRCB Biden inciting violence? Surely not

Sure ChinaJoe did

Said the man who said to a black man he's not black enough. Also:

Lawrenc96256742 Didn’t he write the 1994 crime bill?

Joe who?

Thank you

Finally calling it for what it is.. Police brutality. But its more than that.. Its MURDER of a American civilian by the corrupt police officers. And shame on anyone coming to this murderers defense.. I dont care if its even the union. There is no defense of this murder. Evil evil

Great advice coming from a racist

And what Biden told them: you better talk to me or you ain’t black?
