President Joe Biden marked the occasion of Black History Month by leaning into the racial themes that have paved his path to power but it was an off-the-cuff remark that opened the divider-in-chief up to much mockery when he stated “I may be a white boy, but I’m not stupid.”
On Monday, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a White House reception to close out America’s monthlong celebration of blackness which takes place every February, and during his speech, the 80-year-old career politician’s attempt to inject a bit of self-deprecating humor into the proceedings was a great success with him becoming the butt of his own joke.
Biden’s jab at himself came during his speech to civil rights and business leaders after he joked that newly minted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) who is black doesn’t talk to him anymore.
“I may be a white boy, but I’m not stupid. I know where the power is … you think I’m joking. I learned a long time ago about the Divine Nine,” he said, referring to a group of historically black fraternities and sororities.

The odd comment is just the latest in a growing collection of Biden’s racial remarks that present himself as the champion of black people while also often serving as a useful tool to demonize his political adversaries – especially supporters of former President Donald J. Trump – as racists, rhetoric that comes at a time when the decades of progress in race relations have been erased due to Democrats, the media and “woke” cultural revolutionaries who wear their contempt for white people on their sleeves as if it was a badge of honor.
Twitter users piled on the ridicule with many begging to differ with Biden’s claim of not being stupid.
FACT CHECK: Joe Biden is both white and stupid.
