William Garfield Pickens, my high school English teacher back in the early sixties, was a Morehouse Man, class of '48.He returned there as a professor of English in the late sixties, and served as chairman of the dept for several years.Dr.Pickens was the best teacher I ever had in any subject.When he recited the Aeneid, the class could hear the chariots thundering down the road.After all these years, I think of Dr Pickens often.

How can he say he got into politics to change laws to further civil rights in this speech BUT he didn’t want his kids to go to school in a racial jungle and opposed busing he’ll say anything someone writes for him

Imagine the man that wrote the crime bill, standing in front of Black college graduates.

I thought a commencement speech was supposed to be about the future of the grads not a free campaign platform.

Joe Biden also gave the speech to eulogize the Grand Wizard of the KKK, Robert Byrd.

Why Is He Always Talking About Himself Always?? Who Cares!! If You Have Faith Why Don't You Show It Towards Us??🤔😥

Morehouse should be ashamed to host Joe Biden.

[Follyys]

Utterly patronizing from a man whose entire White House career came from riding the coattails of a far more capable and qualified black man.

Really exemplified by him saying, "your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them". He'll hear you, do what he was going to do anyways, and then pat himself on the back for letting you speak.

To each one of you graduation today, congratulations and may your path forward be a great one. Congratulations. ❤.

What the heck? How can a President of the United States speak about our country, our democracy in a way that would lead someone to want overthrow it rather than embrace it?

I'm reading the comments. And it just shows how us as Americans definitely have some very serious internal problems here in our country. And it's just sad. The government is keeping us divided with all this bs. Regardless if you like it or not 72% of our population is on or below the poverty line. We need to come together and sort these things out. We should be priority number 1. It's sickening, saddening, and just downright wrong.
