At Morehouse College, students and faculty were divided over inviting President Joe Biden to receive an honorary degree and give a speech at the school's commencement ceremony. Morehouse valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher, who had a Palestinian flag affixed to his graduation cap, called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza during his speech, and assistant professor of sociology Taura Taylor stood with her fist raised, facing away from Biden as he addressed the crowd. "I wanted to take it upon myself to, one, stand up for my principles, and then also kind of stand in solidarity for my students as well as my other fellow faculty members who felt that we were caught in this moment where it seemed like we, as a community, selected Biden, when we all did not," says Taylor. We also speak with Samuel Livingston, an associate professor of Africana studies, who held a flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo behind Biden as he spoke. "We held up the flag because the people of the Congo do not get enough media attention in terms of the active genocide that the United States is supporting through its support of Rwanda," says Livingston. "Congo deserves justice, reparations from the United States for the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, conspiring in that assassination, and the people today deserve a country that is built on peace and justice."

Immediate ceasefire after he sent another billion in arms. 😒
Absolutely mind boggling. Isn't it? I think Biden's mental state needs to be examined.
Absolutely mind boggling. Isn't it? Biden's mental state needs to be questioned.

It's shameful Morehouse would give Biden credibility in our community. It's all optics. We understand oppression, and yet an oppressor sits with us. I don't get it. To see Biden clapping for a call for a ceasefire shows how hollow he sees this ceremony to be.

Don’t clap Biden , when you’re providing all the weapons.
I genuinely don’t think he was “there”, he heard others were clapping and so he mimicked what others were doing.
BECAUSE YSRAEL IS OUR ONLY AND LONG TIME ALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. YSRAEL IS FIGHTING FOR THEIR EXISTENCE YOU FOOL, IF YOU KNEW ANYFUKKN THING ABT WHATS REALLY GOING ON YOU WOULD TALK WITH SOME DAMN SENSE..

Shout out to Professor Livingston. The war in DR Congo needs to be addressed too. We're sick and tired of the US backing up Rwanda in its role in destabilizing Eastern DRC.
My respect from my torn beautiful DRC🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
U.S.A. recognized the Congo 9/11/1885. Yellow trucking and that nonsense the southern states has to endure gets no recognition.
I’m in the USA and didn’t even know we are backing a war in DR Congo/Rwanda?
Fr
Schools r for teaching students.
Not teaching politics.
I don’t know what the conflict is between those two nations? Why are they fighting each other?
Joe Biden: "if you don't vote for me you ain't Black.". Thank God for Massa Joe to define Blackness.
So? And? Now talk about the many awful horrible things that Trump keeps saying…that guy can’t keep his mouth of lies closed “immigrants are poisoning our country” “murdering our innocent” on and on and on
Comparable to trump's telling jews that they weren't jews if they didn't vote for him.
Just one of many racist and predatory red flags he’s given us through the years. He’s an elderly sociopath. He sold our country for 10 million to aipac.
And ya'll didn't say ish then,so. Why ya'll saying something now? Wait until ya'll find out who tf Obama is?

Thank you, professor, to defend congo 🇨🇩 🙏 all our support on you. So many innocent people are dying 😢 in that conflict. Mineral 😢😢😢😢
The people in charge of Morehouse know that they know about the Congolese they know about Palestine yet they invited him anyway so what does that tell you about Morehouse Martin Luther King to them is nothing more than a campaign ad
Didn't Martin Luther King say I'm paraphrasing he stood up for social justice everywhere not injustice
Justice for the Congo 🇨🇬
Unfortunately it always comes down to the money at end.
Those who are in charge of any institution in this country they are not there because they deserve it they there because they are the biggest sale out
Cornell West 2024, he's actually on the ground with protestors
Genocide Joe you should be ashamed of yourself
The commencement speech should not have been used as a political platform to benefit his election campaign.
He's a monster, did you expect anything less? This is an election year, have to pander to the blacks that's all we're here for.

Vote independent 2024!!!!
Very inspiring to hear from both professors.
Better late than never .Congo people deserve reparations
Where do all the "religious" leaders in the world stand on the genocide on Palestine issue? The last time I saw them in a war they were "blessing" weapons and bullets.
Depends what religion they are. The Evangelicals and Catholics in America are cheering for genocide in Gaza because they want to hurry up the return of Jesus there. I have never seen so much bloodthirst than from some of the religious posters.
I’ve been asking this question for years. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the Pope, the Bishops, preachers, Imans, etc. Where are their voices? Palestinians are people of color. If this is done to them, wouldn’t the western white world do this to us? America is no longer a democracy. Israel rules the United States.
They love Israel
The pope actually was called antisemitic because of condemning the war.
@@jullietmburu9672He's Christian, so what'd you expect. This conflict would end if Muslims and Jews listened a little to the words of Jesus. Jews want their third temple, Muslims want to trigger the "last days" by fighting the Jews. It'll be endless until they change religions.
What does Palestine have to do with BLACK ISSUES?????? Or black people????
I'm sick of this dude. If you're voting for him you may as well call yourself last in line. Everyone before us off the strength of the work we did. Make it make Sense.
How can you call for an immediate ceasefire , and send a 1 billion dollar in military aid. That’s how mad the USA is to the rest of the world. What has Israel got on the us politicians?
Love the heart felt speech by graduate validation. To Mr. Fletcher- you are born with the 13:03 13:03 gift to lead the world for the generations to follow. You spoke eloquently, clearly, and your message must be understood by current leaders of the world.

I love your reporting Amy . thank you for giving credit to the viewer .
He claimed "He called for immediate ceasefire", I thought he and his foreign secretary called it "A humanitarian Pause" and refused to call for a ceasefire.
I am a bit put off at how Pan African and African American stories are routinely placed towards the end of the program and are given a 'we have ten seconds' while the guest is in the middle of an important point. At the same time we have daily and multiple report coverage of the middle east.

Why do you hate Trump? MSM? I watch you tube the congress and some senate- I’ve seen them hold up biden’s bank statements showing millions of dollars paid to his family and him, mostly from the CCP. Traitorous deeds to get rich in my opinion. A copy of a $20,000 check from an enemy country was shown. The demonc🐀s only response to the truth is to lie about Trump.

Thank you, Dr. Taylor for telling the truth It is so sad and disappointing that the level of a college or university they still think they are free, but they have no right to choose who would be the commence speaker? it shows how free they are the poor valedictorian how to say words the way to please whoever invited this speaker it explains their definition of freedom right there .
Biden needs an ophthalmologist along with many more health professionals.
✊ Free Congo, Free Palestine, Free all the people oppressed in this world. They won't stop us now. We shouldn't stop until we all are free. ❤
Don't forget to mention his open border crisis!
Both parties have the same exact policy of creating unlivable conditions around the world for resource extraction and geopolitical control while fueling the detention center industry (mostly run by Israel or American companies) that make huge profits by allowing massive amount of people through so they can be hunted recreationally by racist sociopaths and people pleasers. This is an INDUSTRY. They could easily just enforce border security in a rational and humane way but that wouldn’t feed the rich or fuel division.
Least of America's problems.
The border “crisis” is just the detention industry manipulating your biases and fears to extract as much wealth and geopolitical oppression as possible for America and Israel who runs them all

Weekend at Bernies
Australian protesters have blocked the roads leading to Pine Gap, a US satellite intelligence gathering facility. They are protesting against the US support for Israel's actions, including alleged involvement in terror attacks and war crimes in Gaza and Rafah. The protesters argue that the US and Israel are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Many Australians are expressing anger over the presence of US military bases in Australia, as they claim they never had the opportunity to vote on this matter. "Aboriginals want their land back. The native title claim to Pine Gap demands the departure of the Americans, as the US has endangered the sacred land of Pine Gap with nuclear threats of US aggression towards China. The US anti-China policy in Australia. It's almost as if the US media is obsessed with portraying China in a negative light, which is both creepy and laughable. The US wants to turn Australia into another Ukraine. The US media should be held to account they don't even express remorse for things that they got wrong and done wrong."

The truth is if Trump was President October 7th would never had happened. History has proven that when the US has a strong leader the bad actors of the world do not act. There has been none weaker the Biden. Jimmy Carter is at peace now...
When Biden talks of sending more aid to Gaza, does he mean aid for Israel or Palestinians? He has improved his acting ability by a lot. You can almost hear sincerity in his lies.
After someone lies day in day out for YEARS and they begin to believe their own lies... then add dementia to it.... and his own family should be charged with elder abuse.

They’ll still vote for Biden
I watched the Morehouse Commencement and I was definitely proud to see so many Black Men achieve their degrees. I have to say, I was disappointed to see a flag raised behind the President, and frankly found it disrespectful to the President, and the United States. You can express your discontent with US Foreign Policy but do so in a manner that is respectful to the country. The reality is there is always the innocent that suffer doing war. How many innocent Afghan died due to war against the Taliban? How many innocent Iraqi died due to the war in Iraq? The suffering in Palastine is heartbreaking, but the evil of the Israeli government is not a unique one. All war introduces this suffering…
Does anyone actually think that Trump or even Obama would be doing anything different? The US Policy is to support Israel because their presence in the Middle East is in the country’s best interest. Hard stop.
The speech by the Valedictorian was awesome. He made his discontent with US Foreign policy known but did so in a manner that did not tarnish honor of the country nor the office of the President.
Where I live Black folks will not vote for any Democrips!

Professor Samuel Livingstone, Professor Taura Taylor and Professor Cynthia Hewitt, thank you for your activism and leadership 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎩🎩🎩. Let's unite, Americans and Africans, we are the same, and stop eating the gruel that the system wants to try to feed us. People of Congo do deserve peace, justice and reparations. It's time for America, Belgium and other governments and companies that are exploiting us to face up to their responsibilities.
