Dr. Umar Johnson Scolds Biden for Not Protecting Black People From Police

Clinical psychologist and Hotep Supreme, Dr. Umar Johnson, had some things to get off his chest about President Joe Biden when he appeared on The Breakfast Club on Monday.

Johnson sat down with Breakfast Club hosts Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy to talk about Biden’s lack of protection for Black people when it comes to executive orders.

“President Biden, your first day of office, you signed an executive order to protect the life and safety of transgenders. I have no problem with that. But you did it on your first day,” said Johnson.

“Why haven’t we got an executive order or any other activity comin’ out of the Oval Office from president Biden to protect Black people from police? Look at what he’s doin’ with the anti-Asian hate. President Joe Biden signed an executive order that is exclusive to Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. I don’t have a problem with that. But If you can protect the Asian-American and Pacific Islander from violence, why can’t you do the same thing for Black people?”

The faux descendant of Frederick Douglass went on to ask why the anti-Asian hate bill was passed in a 94 to 1 vote, yet the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Bill has still not been passed

by the Senate. He also noted that Asian-Americans have seen an uprise in hate for the past year due to COVID-19, but Black people have been the victims of violent hatred in this country for hundreds of years.

In the past, Johnson has made some controversial statements when it comes to Black families and interracial marriage, but Twitter seems to agree with him when it comes to Biden’s failure to protect Black people from the police.
