[ applause ] running through our it really is. running through our body politic. it s been allowed to fester and grow right in front of our eyes. no more. i mean, no more. we need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in america. [ applause ] none. look, failure in saying that is going to complicity, silence is complicity. it s complicity. we cannot remain silent. i call all americans to reject the lie, and i condemn those who spread the lie for power, political gain, and for profit. [ applause ] president joe biden s clear eyed denunciation there of white supremacy as a poison marks a return to an issue that animated and inspired his run for the presidency, what he described at the time as a battle for the soul of america. but now the new york times reports, quote, the challenge for a president who came to office preaching unity may be how to take on those preaching hate, and in the wake of the mas
