The Coronavirus Hate Crimes Act was signed by Biden in response to an apparent growing rate in hate crimes against the Asian American community following the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden celebrated American racial diversity on Thursday during the signing ceremony, noting the U.S. was founded, not by race, but by a “document” – the Declaration of Independence.
“We’re unique among all nations in that we are uniquely a product of a document — not an ethnicity, not a religion, not a geography, of a document,” adding, “Think about this, I’m being literal. Uniquely a product of a document.”
This could quite possibly be one of the most un-American sentiments delivered by a U.S. president.
Biden was joined by a contingency of Democrats and his VP Kamala Harris as he signed the new “anti-racism” bill into law. The legislations was jammed through Congress by Democrats, who successfully convinced a majority of Republicans to get on board.

The octogenarian president voiced a stern condemnation of American “racists,” claiming, “Every time we late hate flourish, ww make a lie of who we are as a nation.” sternly condemned Americans for remaining silent in the face of rising hatred in their country.
Pres. Biden: "Every time we're silent, every time we let hate flourish, we make a lie of who we are as a nation. I mean it literally. We cannot let the very foundation of this county continue to be eaten away like it has been in other moments in our history, and happening again." pic.twitter.com/2wHF4fKwOC

Biden demanded that Americans continue to speak out against the racism that apparently plagues the country today. He suggested that racial hatred and angst still exists at levels seen during the height of division in the U.S.
Biden’s Vice President Kamala Harris also chimed in during the signing ceremony.
“Here’s the truth…” she began:
Vice President Harris: "Here's the truth — racism exists in America. Xenophobia exists in America. Antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia — it all exists. And so the work to address injustice wherever it exists remains the work ahead." pic.twitter.com/TIvBpyNcNg

Kamala Harris recalled how her lived experience throughout the long career in politics has been filled with racial hatred.
Did the Vice President ever think to change careers if “racism” was so persistent in each branch of government she worked in? Additionally, how did Mrs. Harris make it to the White House if systematic racism in America is so prevalent? How did Obama get there?
These are questions that will never be answered because as long as Democrats are championing, or appear to be championing, a certain minority group then their voters will remain content and their power kept in place.
