President Biden faced criticism Tuesday over comments he made about black entrepreneurs during a speech commemorating the 100 th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre.
“The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are,” Biden said. “But they don’t have lawyers. They don’t have, they don’t have accountants, but they have great ideas.
“Does anyone doubt this whole nation would be better off from the investments those people make?” he continued. “And I promise you that’s why I set up this National Small Business Administration that’s much broader because they’re going to get those loans.” BIDEN: “…young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don’t have lawyers, they don’t have accountants…” pic.twitter.com/uaVQO6vPeN — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 1, 2021 Biden’s remarks drew criticism on Twitter, with many accusing the president of racism. The President of the United States doesn’t think black entrepreneurs have lawyers or accountants, which seems like some of that ‘soft bigotry of low expectations’ that’s the Democrats’ favorite kind of racism. https://t.co/ZLxHcSNI2N — Spencer Brown (@itsSpencerBrown) June 1, 2021 I’m black and I know exactly where to get lawyers and accountants, you racist. — Lavern Spicer (@lavern_spicer) June 1, 2021 Wooooow!!! So not only are we incapable of using the internet…we can’t afford nor find lawyers and accountants neither! The mind of a white liberal I swear!! ???? — Tacha B. (@Itsmzchampagne) June 1, 2021 How is this not a racist comment? https://t.co/2rUmDVG0i5 — Brit Hume (@brithume) June 2, 2021 This just in: Young Black entrepreneurs have lawyers and accountants. https://t.co/Iwm3mekGOB — Jon Gabriel (@exjon) June 2, 2021 Why, why, why allow yourself to be patronized like this? You don’t have to. https://t.co/uyrVscUqip — Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) June 2, 2021

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
