Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, and Akai Gurley are just a small sampling of black people who died during interactions with the police that caused protests and riots. Each and every one of these high-profile cases happened when Barack Obama and Joe Biden were running the show but they don’t seem to remember.
Now with the death of George Floyd, the former president and VP are screaming that we need leadership to stop the systemic racism they say is killing black people. I wonder why they weren’t screaming this when they had the ability to do something about it. It must be a Trump thing.
Here’s Obama’s statement on George Floyd, who died in police custody after a white cop was filmed kneeling on his neck:

Is it just me or does it seem like Obama is calling cops racists in that last paragraph? Some things never change.
Obama says we can’t let Floyd’s death be the “new normal” but it’s not the new normal, it’s the old normal as in when he was president. This is the first high-profile black death during three and half years of President Trump’s presidency. Back when Obama was occupying the White House, this kind of thing happened all the time and he did nothing to stop it from being normal.
Joe Biden took the lack of self-awareness even further by saying, “You know, it’s going to require those of us who sit in some position of influence to finally deal with the abuse of power.”
You know, Crazy Joe doesn’t actually hold a position of influence right now but he used to and for some reason chose not to deal with the “abuse of power” back then.
“This is national crisis, and we need real leadership right now. We need justice for George Floyd,” said Biden.
But leadership when Michael Brown, Tamir, Rice, Freddie Gray, etc… died wasn’t necessary.
The funny thing about this is, Biden made this call for justice after it had been announced that the former officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck had been charged with murder. Not only does he lack self-awareness he lacks regular awareness too and once again, Biden demands something that has already happened. Biden also probably doesn’t realize that he’s saying President Trump is a top-notch leader.
Making it even dumber, or typical Biden, Crazy Joe announced he spoke to George Floyd’s family and said this to them: “I promise you, I promise you, we’ll do everything in our power to see that justice is had.”
What power does Joe Biden, a private citizen holding no elected office, actually have? Talk about an empty promise. What he really told Floyd’s family is, “I’m not going to do a damn thing, but I’m pretending like I give a shit.”
Barack Obama was a U.S. Senator for 2 years and President of the United States for 8, giving him a solid decade of being in a position of power. Joe Biden was a U.S. Senator for 26 years and vice president for 8, giving him 34 years of power in Washington. In their combined 44 years of being in a position of power and influence, they never once tried to put an end to the “systemic racism” they say kills black people.
Now however that Trump is President, they suddenly think “those folks in power” should do something about this. Trump has been in politics for all of three and half years and George Floyd is the first high-profile black man to die and justice was served up in the span of four days.
It’s hard to be that full of shit, but Barry and JoJo make it look easy.
