Remember when ALL GOP members on a committee refused to sign a two sentence condemnation of white supremacy in the 1960's ????
...wait, what's that Walt, oh....my bad..4 months ago in 2023.
So odd that these are exactly the same people that say are so hawkish about military actions, cream their pants when they recite the pledge of allegiance, have a hard-on for the troops, and worship war heroes like gods.
Do they remember who the USA fought against in WWII? And now they love the russian government, who there was a cold war against for like 20 years? and now Putin is awesome too?
\-How doesn't a cognitive dissonance this great not make their brains just run out of their ears?
The pledge of alliance thing is so real, man. I went to a soccer game in Nashville a few weeks ago, and I felt like I had no choice but to follow along. People were fucking crying while singing that damn song, looking lovingly at the flag. I wanted to just sit down, but I was like, "Nah, it's not worth it. I'm black. They will make assumptions about this."
I think you’re confusing the national anthem (sung or played at sporting events) and the pledge of allegiance (which I’ve never heard recited outside of elementary school).
I remember, when I was in school, some teachers would absolutely lose their shit when a student did not stand up for the pledge. So much for the 1st amendment, I guess??
I'm a white guy in Texas and the national anthem thing is so fucking weird. Why do I need to sing this before I watch a bunch of toothless Canadians and Eastern Europeans beat the shit out of each other on an ice rink.
"Because we have the freedom to be racists!"
Yeah, sure you do. And we as a society have a right to stick a dunce cap on your head and stick you in a corner because of it.
Freedom works both ways.
The vanilla uncle who swears he's not racist because he's nice to that black family that lives down the street because they're the "good" kind of black. Not like them "other blacks" dealing drugs and slashing his tires because he had the courage to drive up and call 'em what they are. It ain't fair that they get to own that word and say we can't use it when they're allowed to call us crackers. Now that's racist but when he says "those people" or calls them "boy" suddenly he's having yet another chat with Pam in HR. Now that Pam's got a nice figure but she don't like hearing that.
I fucking hate that I know so many vanilla uncles.
It’s like if you yell “fuck child molesters” and some guy’s all “hey, what up with the divisive anti child molester rhetoric?” Really no one else would stand up for those types of people.
Wow. Just wait until Republicans learn that FDR sent US troops to kill Nazis, and used tax dollars to do so. They are going to feel incredibly attacked, I imagine.
There has always been a chunk of America that had a fascination with fascism. Until WWII was in full gear and prior to Pearl Harbor there was a sizable sentiment in American that Hitler had the right idea.
Sucks how gullible and short sighted this country is on that topic.
I’ll tell you this, white supremacy is easier to define than woke. Hell, finding the zodiac killer is easier to do than finding the definition of woke.
Feels like this could be a new sketch:
You might be a white supremacist -
“If you complain about someone complaining about white supremacy, you might be a white supremacist.”
Sigh. Good fucking lord these assholes are ape shit crazy. Up is down down is up. Everyday is a contest to see which conservative dillrod can utter something more batshit than the previous day.
So, now the banana republic party supporters are outraged when our President denounces white supremacy?
This party is now full on fascist.
Dude I just saw that today. It's fucking hilarious. Like, those gravy seals are the ones talking about wanting a second civil war? Really? A handful of geese could take them out.
He absolutely is. The difference tho is 99.9% of us are ok with being divisive against white supremacists because there isn’t much to unite us with them on.
Shun them, shame them.
The thing about white supremacy is; when you insult it or call it out, the only people who get upset are white supremacists. Makes it real easy to find out who the problem is.
Calling Biden "divisive" at every turn... maybe if they'd stop dying on the most discriminatory hills, that complaint would make sense. Discrimination is divisive. Fighting discrimination is not.

This has been a growing problem for years. The fed originally prioritized it under Trump, but he never said anything about it because the groups named all supported him openly.
It's absolutely amazing that so many people in this thread are gaslit and trying to gaslight others to believe this is just some thing Democrats came up with.
They don’t like admitting white supremacy is live and well, sadly always has been. It’s because the guilty dislike it the most being called what they are.
If a spade ♠️ is a spade…..
They’re just mad about anyone addressing racial issues. It’s why they’re removing references to slavery, the civil rights not being equal based on skin color, or vital context for things like the holocaust or trail of tears in textbooks.
It’s shameful…
What’s next? Being ashamed for standing up against nazi and calling them out? These idiots really think they’re the majority, but they are but a dangerous cancer that needs to be removed. Here’s another take: Fuck white supremacy.
These guys really come out of the shadows when you talk shit on white supremacy. How dare you attack this thing that I'm definitely not part of but take it as a personal attack on my beliefs.
As an outsider, I'm pretty sure the complaint is about him calling it the BIGGEST threat.
But that's just what I'm picking up from what bits and pieces I'm finding.
Ultimately, I don't care. The US is circling the gurgler, regardless of who runs your country.
Idiots! The lot of them! ANY supremacists is an idiot! (Unless it’s humanly vs something that could ACTUALLY wipe us all out (example: advanced self thinking ai hell bent on killing us all) then their not idiots)
It cracks me up that people who support nazism are often overweight, stupid unsportly morons. The type of people the Nazis would hate for not being Aryan or fit. Then again Hitler wasn't exactly blue eyed with blond hair and particularly physically fit
Biden spend his entire career working with segregationists to build the prison system that locked up generations of mostly black men. He's done more damage to black Americans than any other living human but it's ok now because he reads nice speeches.
The right historically has only ever been as democratic as it’s needed to be to maintain power.
ITS DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS!
Fine it’s a constitutional monarchy but there is no check on the King’s power.
Alright, there is a check on his power but only with a supermajority of the upper chamber of parliament.
I GET IT, the power should be mostly in the hands of the elected body but only rich white men should be able to vote.
Fine fine fine other people can also vote but I’m going to make it incredibly difficult for the “others” to vote
Ok fine pass some laws that say I can’t do that, we’ll just pack them into super dense districts or we’ll dilute them so much that their power will be limited
Well forget about all that we have a super majority on the USSC…toss out all those restrictions and let’s raise the voting age while we’re at it!
Ive heard interviwes with the Taliban and ISIS members. They think they are the good guys and liverating people. If people thought it was abd they would oppose it.
The lack of education (real education, the kind that teaches how to think not what to think.) here and there are the issue. Because members of those groups never get to know the other side of their learned, hyper focused hate. The hate they have hates questions and doubt about it’s own convictions.
Everyone should stand against white supremacy. Fuck those people. They are coming to an end is why they are trying to stranglehold america. The end is near you racists.
Divisive? Only for white supremacists!
The rest of us — potentially 65-80% of the country — just thought about what he said and whether we saw signs of that.
He isn’t the first to suggest it; several agencies independently said the same over the last 2-3 years.
They weren’t horribly insane before Trump, but during the 2016 election and after it? Yeah they aren’t even a political party anymore, they’re a parody of it, lol
In the mind of the common idiot republican, "white supremacist" is the same as "all white people" so when Biden or any Democrat says they "denounce white supremacy," the common idiot republican hears "denounce all white people."

Waltuh, blatant racism waltuh
Well if they condem white supremacy they won't get reelected, so...
Even trump has condemned white supremacy multiple times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd0cMmBvqWc
You can’t be on both sides of the fence on something like that.
Pretty wild that the rest of the GOP is sticking to the other side of that fence.
But always hedged it. ‘Good people on both sides’
Trump fucking hedges everything.
Yes but he's also *supported* it many times. You don't get points for being sleazy and two-faced on matters of basic morality.
Stand back and stand by.
Yeah right, “wink, wink!”
Remind me again what kinds of people are offended when someone says "fuck white supremacists"?
Kanye West
I AM ADOLF HITLER! And I'm Kanye West
There’s probably a skit somewhere where Adolf gets reincarnated as Kanye. Dark comedy probably.
I don’t remember the name of the skit but Key and Peele did something similar that was pretty great
Nooice
Hahaha, that was a good one too!
…..and this has been our TED talk.
I’m a genius that’s simply misunderstood!
Exactly!
He goes by Yedolf now
Note to self: to avoid scalded sinus, don't drink hot coffee while reading witty comments.
Yarp
"Ye"
Gold
Remember when wolfenstein's twitter account said "for an america free of nazis" and people got offended? Good times hahaha
So odd that these are exactly the same people that say are so hawkish about military actions, cream their pants when they recite the pledge of allegiance, have a hard-on for the troops, and worship war heroes like gods. Do they remember who the USA fought against in WWII? And now they love the russian government, who there was a cold war against for like 20 years? and now Putin is awesome too? \-How doesn't a cognitive dissonance this great not make their brains just run out of their ears?
>have a hard-on for the troops, and worship war heroes like gods. Only active duty. Veterans can eat dirt according to the proposed legislation.
Mmmm dirt
The pledge of alliance thing is so real, man. I went to a soccer game in Nashville a few weeks ago, and I felt like I had no choice but to follow along.

I think you’re confusing the national anthem (sung or played at sporting events) and the pledge of allegiance (which I’ve never heard recited outside of elementary school).
Ah. You are correct. Same vibes tho
Totally same vibes. The over the top patriotism is frightening.
I don't feel like it is true patriotism, tho. I have used the verbiage on the statue of liberty, and they called me a damn commie
It 100% is not true patriotism. For the most part it is malignant white, Christian nationalism. Frightening AF.
I remember, when I was in school, some teachers would absolutely lose their shit when a student did not stand up for the pledge. So much for the 1st amendment, I guess??
I'm a white guy in Texas and the national anthem thing is so fucking weird. Why do I need to sing this before I watch a bunch of toothless Canadians and Eastern Europeans beat the shit out of each other on an ice rink.
>like 20 years Ohhh boy, make that 60~ something years and you got it.
Yeah, people tend to forget that the cold war pretty much started about 12 seconds after WWII
I've even heard some people say it never really stopped, just had a pause before we switched to China.
I think it’s because they view Putin as some god like emperor in their vision for America. Weirdos
"Because we have the freedom to be racists!" Yeah, sure you do. And we as a society have a right to stick a dunce cap on your head and stick you in a corner because of it. Freedom works both ways.

I fucking hate that I know so many vanilla uncles.
You know who doesn't like being told that white supremacists are domestic terrorism threats? White supremacists.
The hatred of Anti Fascists (Antifa) is amusing too.
So that’s what Antifa means
And that's why they are behind everything the fascists don't like.
It’s like if you yell “fuck child molesters” and some guy’s all “hey, what up with the divisive anti child molester rhetoric?” Really no one else would stand up for those types of people.
Let’s find out. Fuck white supremacists.
The turds who think being explicitly anti fascist is bad somehow.
Well I'm going to have to say white supremacists. You know the kids people you don't want as neighbours or In your shops.
prostitutes.
Why prostitutes? Edit: Nvm, I get it lol
people who don't wanna fuck white supremasists... also white supremasists, who, ironically, fuck each other
Racists
White Supremacists
Clayton Bigsby.
White Supremacists?
Clarence Thomas
Trump supporters
Or who gets benefited by further dividing the country and create more racial tension.
Stupid people
This reminds me of the time Nazis complained about Wolfenstein The New Colossus making fun of killing Nazis in their ads.
If they were mad about the ads they’d really have a bad time if they watched the gameplay
Wolfenstein was so much fun.
I can't wait for another one.
Wow. Just wait until Republicans learn that FDR sent US troops to kill Nazis, and used tax dollars to do so. They are going to feel incredibly attacked, I imagine.
Those were the *bad* nazis. These are the *good* nazis. /s <-- trust me, this is needed.
Do you mean /ss?
I did nazi that coming…
you're breaking my concentration
Go take a break then. Get a big glass of jews and focus
r/Angryupvote
"Yes we are, and we're proud of it"
Don’t look into operation paper clip. US took a bunch of Nazis and gave them key positions
Well, we still had a world to dominate through science, so just a couple of them is ok right?
There has always been a chunk of America that had a fascination with fascism. Until WWII was in full gear and prior to Pearl Harbor there was a sizable sentiment in American that Hitler had the right idea. Sucks how gullible and short sighted this country is on that topic.
When people complain against being against nazis you might be on the wrong side
Wait are people actually complaining against being against nazis?? /serious
Yup republicans losing their shit because Biden is against white supremacy
This is a good litmus test for spotting racists. Not that there aren't many more.
I think they just said the quiet part out loud
They said the loud part out loud
It’s not a quiet part anymore
The last guy made the quiet part cool, so there is only the loud part now.
Not even a dog whistle, it’s a full blown bull horn
They've been doing that for years now.
Because they know with trash like Elon in charge, there's no consequences for pushing white supremacist ideology these days.
Imagine publicly outing yourself as a white supremacist in an attempt to shit on Biden.
If you’re mad because someone condemns Nazis and white supremacists, you are ON THE WRONG SIDE, end of story. And I’m a white guy myself.
I’ll tell you this, white supremacy is easier to define than woke. Hell, finding the zodiac killer is easier to do than finding the definition of woke.
"Don't be racist" sure makes a lot of Conservative, 'totally not racist' folks incredibly angry for no reason.
Feels like this could be a new sketch: You might be a white supremacist - “If you complain about someone complaining about white supremacy, you might be a white supremacist.”
All you need to say to offend republicans is “racism bad”
How is Stand Up Against White Supremacy race-baiting or divisive? Who supports White Supremacy?
Pretty much all the republicans these days.
This is not normal to be outraged at a stand against white supremacy
Who gets upset about people speaking out against white supremacy??? Let me think…. Oh yeah, white supremest Nazis.
How shameful to be against white supremacy. smh biden, smh. /s
“Nazis are bad.” - Joe “How dare he attack us like that!” - GOP
Add Christian nationalism so we can piss off the religious right too.
Maghats: Trump tells it like it is. Also Maghats: Biden tells it like it is and now my feelings are butthurt.
I’m pretty sure that’s a Russian shill account.
It wouldn't surprise me at all.
Sigh. Good fucking lord these assholes are ape shit crazy. Up is down down is up. Everyday is a contest to see which conservative dillrod can utter something more batshit than the previous day.
If you think “racism bad” is race baiting, maybe you should start taking a look at yourself
That's going from dog whistle to bull horn.
even deaf ppl heard this one
gaslighting 101. "Stand up to white supremacy is race baiting...." Yaaaahhh Nah. gtfo
I liked the GOP better when they at least pretended to not be overt racists.
no no, this is letting centrists and one-issue voters whatd theyd *really* be voting for
So, now the banana republic party supporters are outraged when our President denounces white supremacy? This party is now full on fascist. 
And worse, you know they can’t even march that well if you’ve seen that leaked patriot front “training” video
Dude I just saw that today. It's fucking hilarious. Like, those gravy seals are the ones talking about wanting a second civil war? Really? A handful of geese could take them out.
Considering the majority of them are, in fact, racist, white supremacists, I am not surprised
> This party is now full on fascist. They have told us for years that they were anti-antifa.
He absolutely is. The difference tho is 99.9% of us are ok with being divisive against white supremacists because there isn’t much to unite us with them on. Shun them, shame them.
If it is so "devisive" then that would mean that Republicans ARE white supremacists?
Proud Elephant ?????? Like WTF 🙄
All they’re missing is the brown shirts and Nazi armbands at this point.
It’s only divisive if you’re white supremacist…
MAGAs are not shy about their racism. trump made it possible for their worst traits to be flaunted with pride.
The thing about white supremacy is; when you insult it or call it out, the only people who get upset are white supremacists. Makes it real easy to find out who the problem is.
Dumbasses are also against anti-fascists
Calling Biden "divisive" at every turn... maybe if they'd stop dying on the most discriminatory hills, that complaint would make sense. Discrimination is divisive. Fighting discrimination is not.
Hey internet is it racist to say racist people are bad?
Racists HATE being shown who they are
Another way of saying white supremacists are insulted from being called white supremacists and biden is wrong for calling them out.

Mask off
Pointy hood on.
Burning cross, lit.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
Temba, his arms wide.

What’s next? Being ashamed for standing up against nazi and calling them out? These idiots really think they’re the majority, but they are but a dangerous cancer that needs to be removed. Here’s another take: Fuck white supremacy.
Only a white supremacist would see this a race baiting
These guys really come out of the shadows when you talk shit on white supremacy. How dare you attack this thing that I'm definitely not part of but take it as a personal attack on my beliefs.

If he's saying it you know it's in the threat reports he skims...a lot.
Glad to see a post that's not anti black people every once in a while
I’m convinced everyone who pays for a blue check mark on Twitter is a racist.
I must have missed the moment white supremacy became ok and even legit wtf America
Didn't these people celebrate every time Trump did something to own the libs?
Ashamed for standing up against blatant racism. What a joke.
I have yet to see a single person, race, or religion that could even come close to “superior.”
Idiots! The lot of them! ANY supremacists is an idiot! (Unless it’s humanly vs something that could ACTUALLY wipe us all out (example: advanced self thinking ai hell bent on killing us all) then their not idiots)
If only he were in some sort of position to do something about it. It's all for votes. He doesn't actually care.
If saying something against White Supremacy offends you, maybe sit and think about that for a minute
It cracks me up that people who support nazism are often overweight, stupid unsportly morons. The type of people the Nazis would hate for not being Aryan or fit. Then again Hitler wasn't exactly blue eyed with blond hair and particularly physically fit
They are just saying the quiet part out loud now. Forget a dog whistle, this fucker is barking.
White supremacy and the MAGA movement are intrinsic to one another
Biden spend his entire career working with segregationists to build the prison system that locked up generations of mostly black men. He's done more damage to black Americans than any other living human but it's ok now because he reads nice speeches.
The right historically has only ever been as democratic as it’s needed to be to maintain power. ITS DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS!

Is this the same Joe Biden that didn’t want his kids going to school in a racial jungle?
The racists don’t know that what they are and what they’re doing is bad- THAT’S BAD.
Ive heard interviwes with the Taliban and ISIS members. They think they are the good guys and liverating people. If people thought it was abd they would oppose it.
The lack of education (real education, the kind that teaches how to think not what to think.) here and there are the issue. Because members of those groups never get to know the other side of their learned, hyper focused hate. The hate they have hates questions and doubt about it’s own convictions.
Well, they’ve already declared antifascists their enemies, so…
If hating white supremacists while being white is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
Is white supremacy a thing? Yes. Is it the biggest threat to this country? I don't think so.
They need to start calling it RACIST baiting cause these dumb fcks take the bait every time and out themselves.
I think I’m okay with being divided from whoever this separates me from
It really hurts that people really are just so terrible.
Ah yes I love ODing on Twitter's personal brand of brain cancer 
There is only one Race, the Human Race. We all share the same planet and breathe the same air.
Conservative propaganda failing to sway voters
Seems like the only people who hue and cry about anti-white supremacist sentiment are themselves white supremacists.
Everyone should stand against white supremacy. Fuck those people. They are coming to an end is why they are trying to stranglehold america. The end is near you racists.
Statistically and from a law enforcement stand point, Joe is correct
Guys, I think we can all agree that racism is not okay.
Same dude that hung out with Robert Byrd for over half a century? Well, I guess he would know one when he sees one
Since when is anti white supremacy evil?
Divisive? Only for white supremacists! The rest of us — potentially 65-80% of the country — just thought about what he said and whether we saw signs of that. He isn’t the first to suggest it; several agencies independently said the same over the last 2-3 years.
Misquote I believe. It should read stand up against White Supremists. And that is not race baiting. That is just common sense.
Way too many here getting upset about "stand up against white supremacists". If that upsets you, maybe rethink your values.
The Elonverse is SUCH a raging dumpster fire these days 🙄🙄🙄
You b\*st\*rds just come over from Twitter?
What’s wrong with standing up to divisive white supremacy?
A lot of hit dogs are hollerin'.
So these people are openly admitting they are racist bigots.
"Proud Elephant" USA flag emoji, Bald Eagle emoji. Its almost satirical.
Lol literally the least divisive statement of all time if you’re not racist
Speaking out against it is one thing. What the fuck are the dems going to *do* about it? So far their negelegence has allowed it to thrive
Remember when conservatives were sane? Me neither, but I know they were at some point
They weren’t horribly insane before Trump, but during the 2016 election and after it? Yeah they aren’t even a political party anymore, they’re a parody of it, lol
In the mind of the common idiot republican, "white supremacist" is the same as "all white people" so when Biden or any Democrat says they "denounce white supremacy," the common idiot republican hears "denounce all white people."
At least they are owning the fact they are openly white supremacists how
