Mr. Biden [HBCU Conference]: I'm also proud to lead the first administration in history to have a working group from the 'Divine Nine' in the White House. I may be a white boy, but I ain't stupid. I figured out real quick.

Mr. Biden: We all know, and I mean this sincerely, that HBCU students are just as capable as any other students.

Mr. Biden: We also know that black studies show black students who have black teachers are significantly more likely to graduate from high school, and; we've known this for a long time, enroll in college.

Mr. Biden: Today, affirmative action, and the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, are under attack like that long since I started as a young civil rights guy. Books are being banned. History is being erased. HBCU's have received bomb threats. And right now, lies and hate are being spread about Haitian-Americans in Ohio. It's wrong. It's simply wrong, and it must stop.

[they aren't 'Haitian-Americans', they are illegal aliens from Haiti]

Mr. Biden [yelling]: Black excellence is American excellence.

KHOU11 [statement from Energy Transfer, owner of Houston pipeline]: We are aware of early reports indicating that an unknown passenger car entered our right of way, and struck the valve location.
