Biden on Rittenhouse verdict: 'The jury has spoken'

[wryter2000]

57. I do wish there was more that he could have said

He couldn't say anything to indicate we don't have to abide by what the jury decided, but the AA people I saw on MSNBC yesterday were very rightly angry and hurt. I think sometimes we don't realize the amount of hurt racism like this causes. I know I didn't until I saw that AA capitol policeman cry after being called an N.

He should have been able to address the anger better, and a statement about the nature of our society's inequities would have been of more comfort to the very people who uplifted his campaign in SC, with the endorsement of Jim Clyburn.

This is not a matter of we need the AA vote to win, even though that's true. The AA community is always there when we ask them to step up and fix our messes. We need to be in solidarity with them and indicate we share their pain (even on a limited level) when things like this happen.

It would have been tremendously difficult to write an acceptable statement like that, but surely, he had someone gifted enough to do it.
