US President Joe Biden explained that he did not consider his Racist country. So he commented on the corresponding charges of Senator-Republican Tim Scott in an interview with NBC.
Biden in contacting the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives of the US Congress touched upon the issue of the eradication of systemic racism in the country’s society. Against this background, he remembered the murder of George Floyd’s police officer in May 2020 and protests that followed him. The US President drew attention to the urgency of solving this problem.
In response, Tim Scott on the face of the opposition accused Bayden in inciting racial differences in the United States. Senator considered that the American leader used racial issues in his speech as “political weapons to solve their problems.”
“No, I do not consider the American people racist. But I think that after 400 years, African Americans were left in a difficult situation regarding the possibility of obtaining education, maintain health and other opportunities,” explained his words.
In February, Biden stated that white racists are the main terrorist threat within the United States. The American leader called the supporters of the superiority of the White race and members of the Ku-Klux Klan “the most dangerous people in the United States.” The politician stressed that supporters of these views “mentally ill and dangerous people.” According to him, the new administration will examine the impact of the former military and police on the growth of the popularity of this movement.
