Biden, Proving He's Still The Whitest White Guy In America



So President Biden hosted an early Juneteenth concert on the White House South Lawn, and this clip of him went viral.

Kirk Franklin - a popular Christian gospel singer, was performing "I Don't Want To Love Nobody But You" - meaning God, mind you - all you Trumpers who stake your flag claim in Christianity and say  we Democrats are godless.

A Christian gospel singer performed on the White House lawn - end of!

Everyone was dancing - Kamala and Doug, Billy Porter, the Floyd family - but Biden just stood there smiling like a typical white guy.

He reminds me of nearly every white guy I knew in college, standing with his beer against the wall while everyone else danced, except at 81
😂




You see?  We Democrats can tease about Biden ourselves, because we know he's not perfect - it's called having a sense of humor.  

You should try it, Trumpers!

I'll give him somewhat of a pass for that, though, for age -  and I doubt our other geriatric candidate, Trump, would dance either. In fact, I doubt he'd even hold a concert or show up, and definitely wouldn't dance either, especially not with George Floyd's family.

If Trump did dance, I'm 100% sure it'd be the white man's overbite ...





The fact that Kirk Franklin performed reminded me of his song "Smile," which I haven't thought about in a long time, the video always making me laugh. It's a recreation of a scene from Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America," the church-basement fundraiser scene. 

If you've never been to one of these Baptist church-basement fundraisers, especially in the South -  white, black or mixed, doesn't matter, they're all the same - you're missing out.

They're always entertaining, just not usually in the way they're supposed to be 😂




My husband has had a rough week, this week, so I played this song, this morning, and sang and danced like a member of the Temptations, demonstrably acting out the lyrics, until he smiled, then finally laughed.

Ah, mission accomplished! 😂

Kirk Franklin - "(I Know God is Working So I) Smile"

LYRICS

I dedicate this song to recession
Depression and unemployment
This song's for you ...

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night

Today's a new day, where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright

I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower

I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night

Today's a new day, tell me where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright

I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now

I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me

Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(And while you're praying)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Look in the mirror)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Always remember)
You look so much better when you smile, come on

I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Smile

See I just want don't you to be happy
'Cause then you have to have something you haven't been
I want you to have joy ... 'cause can't nobody take that away from you
I see you smile
