First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Oh lol I posted the exact same quote on another post about this story. The way Biden asks for 'order', it was the first place my mind went.

Yeah that's what they're protesting for, dipshit. They're anti-violence.

Biden emphasized that “peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues” and that the U.S. is not a “lawless country.”

Right. He’s in support of peaceful protest. This is directed at the Zionist violent instigators without calling them out by name. He also addresses vandalism, but the point of the message is condemning violence.

He still isn't directly supporting the students peacefully protesting at campuses, such as by directly addressing the measures that have been employed to snuff out their free speech.

The worst thing about the campus protests is that there are no universities left in Gaza.
