President Biden spoke out about the threat posed by racist Americans, Thursday at the "United We Stand Summit" dedicated to countering "hate-filled violence" hosted in the East Room at the White House. President Biden said the U.S. intelligence community now believes that "domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy is the greatest threat to our homeland today." <blockquote>PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Look, folks, that through-line of hate never fully goes away. It only hides. As I said before, when I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I felt really good about the extension of the Voting Rights Act for 25 years, I even got Strom Thurman to vote for it. No, not a joke. And I thought -- I thought, well, you know, hate can be defeated. But it only hides. And when given any oxygen, it comes out from under the rocks. In the last few years, we've given too much oxygen to our politics in our media and our internet. Too much hate, all for power and profit. That's the part where you don't -- that's changed a little bit. It's about power and profit. Too much hate that's fueled extremist violence that's been allowed to fester and grow. As a result, our very own intelligence agencies, our own intelligence agencies in the United States of America, have determined that domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy is the greatest terrorist threat to our homeland today. I've been around a while. I never thought I would hear that, say that. Enough. We need to say clearly and forcefully that white supremacy, all forms of hate fueled by violence, have no place in America. Failure to call it out is complicity, as my dad would say. Silence is compicity. For those who say we bring this up, we divide the country. Bring it up? We silence it, instead of remaining silent, for in silence wounds deepen. We have to face the good, the bad, and the truth. That's what great nations do, and we're a great nation. </BLOCKQUOTE> Watch his full speech Thursday at the "United We Stand Summit" below: <iframe width="640" height="330" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/R56-jO3q46I" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
