(RT) βΈ» US President Joe Biden made a strange assessment of his intelligence at a White House event celebrating black Americans on Monday, while praising his administration for a series of historic first African-Americans in high office. He referred to the "Divine Nine" as a nickname given to the society founded in 1930 that represents fraternities and sororities at historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden argued he "started out of an HBCU, Delaware State." Media fact-checkers then dug up a speech of his in 2016 in which he said he spoke at Delaware State when he first entered politics. Biden credited Congressman James Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat, for endorsing him in 2020, which led to his victory in the party primaries. Clyburn's price was to have Biden nominate an African-American woman as his running mate and to the US Supreme Court.
