Are you in favor of President Biden marching in support of civil rights?

Question

'Sacred ground': Joe Biden marks 58th anniversary of 'Bloody Sunday' in Selma The black-and-white images that flickered across television sets from that Bloody Sunday in Selma horrified the nation. Alabama state troopers savagely clubbing peaceful marchers as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The screams of terror. The thick clouds of tear gas. The deputies on horseback, chasing frightened men, women and children back across the steel-arched structure. Beating them again and again with clubs, whips and rubber tubing wrapped in barbed wire. "On this bridge, blood was given to help redeem the soul of America," President Joe Biden said Sunday during remarks commemorating the voting-rights demonstration. Biden visited Selma on Sunday to mark the 58th anniversary of the march, now regarded as one of the defining moments in the nation’s civil rights movement. He delivered remarks at the Edmund Pettus Bridge and participated in the re-enactment of the bridge crossing.

I'm in favor, some Americans were being abused and it supports their rights. I'd prefer he paid for the trip since it seems personal and not part of job duties. As well, I'd wonder if he planted enough trees to offset the co2 omissions of the many flights required to get there. Did someone Call Greta, she can plant trees in liu

Beyond, that I don't know enough about this history. Given media coverage I see today, I question what is true back then. Still, there was a problem, and they attempted march peacefull, I respect that. I don't understand why we need a voting rights act or more laws at this point in time, every legal citizen has a right to vote. End of story. If someone is denied, the perpetrators are violating the law and you find them and put them in jail. If someone is committing fraud, they should go to jail.

He should have showed up with the military and said "If anyone denies you a right to vote, then they will have to deal with these people". Then, tell everyone to go get registered to vote, there is no excuse for not having an ID, go vote for whomever they believe is the right candidate, go start a business or get a job, and go get a burger and ice cream, use the bathroom... and fly home. He should have told Al Sharpton to pay up his $11 million debt to the IRS because Ukraine could use that $, but maybe he did and didn't make the press.

The fact that this question is worthy of being asked implies the answer.

The United States is the most racially oppressive economy in the world, per capita. We hate immigrants -- well, not really. If they're picking our crops, cleaning our messes, primping our yards, or cooking our food, José is a good guy.

Biden's not doing enough, but his photo op is a step in the right direction.

I'm so glad almost 60% of people here voted yes, he should march. That's more than half on here. Civil rights for anyone is important, especially oppressed people. I'm proud of our president that he participated in the march on Sunday.

What pisses me of is that almost 40% of you are against this "woke march" because you are still fucking asleep after 58 years.

Maybe it's time to get a fucking wake-up call and see what actually happened.

If you don't get it, may God have mercy on your souls because you're going to need it.

Biden is only doing it to pander for black votes. Trump got the highest percentage of the black vote than any other Republicsn in history. Democrats know their days are numbered. They already lost the Hispanic vote. They need to replace these voters by bringing millions of illegals across the southern border and try and convince black people to vote for them by promising reparations and going to these marches and telling everyone that he went to a black church. It has been proven that he never set foot inside a black church.

Guy13 · Answer

O yeah... by all means. The "Negro" referencing president... can'r get much closer to the N-Word than that The typical leftist democrat who thinks he still owns the plantation and calls Blacks Negro on one of his first International speeches. I wish he speak his heart and shout out the N-Word because that's what he really thinks. Biden is implementing Stalin's Plan... Democratic leftist slave owner as he's walking amongst his Subjects.

It's fine if he does it but is a empty gesture he is a president he can do more than walk and probably forget where he's going half way through. Last I checked he allowed row v Wade to die, are schools are still shit, people aren't being paid enough, homelessness is still a big problem that can easily be solved mind you, drugs are still illegal so on and so forth he's just trying to look good while doing nothing

QuietRunner · Answer

What civil rights need to be updated?

Is he the President?

I would think he doesn't have to march for change.

He is the power maker for change

Another Democrat making you feel good without taking real action, so the status quo stays the same. This is more more political talk so Democrats stay in power without fixing anything for the people

loveslongnails · Answer

I would like to see Biden on one side of the street marching with black leaders, and Trump on the other side marching with the KKK, church leaders who want to kill all trans people, and MTG. That would be appropriate.

legalboxers · Answer

1000% for it. Hey Trumplets and Repulicons - go downrate this!

OddBeMe · Answer

Trump did a rally there. I can appreciate his promoting history. Though he made it a political speech damning “liberals” who passed Civil Rights. But mkay.

"He delivered remarks at the Edmund Pettus Bridge and participated in the re-enactment of the bridge crossing."

So was he the one with the club or the one being clubbed? Or did they leave that part out of the reenactment?

Heterosketero · Answer

I am in favour of ANYONE marching for civil rights. Even those who have in the past made mistakes. They have civil rights as well. Lets go Brandon...

msc545 · Answer

Absolutely in favor of it. It is very symbolically important that he does this.

Biden sucks! He can make time for the March, but not have time for Ohio?

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I'm in favor of recognizing the anniversary, I just don't think Obama nor Biden really care.

i love my president.

Alex8736 · Answer

I would have been more in favor if he showed up to Palestine OHIO where the train derailed and offer federal assistance vs ignoring their plea for help by going to the Ukraine giving away our hard earned tax dollars

humanearth · Answer

He's a fake just like Trump. Both bought and paid for
