WATCH: Biden Puts Foot In Mouth AGAIN At This Black History Month Celebration

President Biden stirred up controversy during a Black History Month event at the White House on Monday, making a joke that quickly went viral.

While boasting about his knowledge of historically Black fraternities and sororities, Biden stated, "I may be a White boy, but I'm not stupid," prompting laughter from the audience. Some conservatives, including Steve Guest, special adviser for communications for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and former congressional candidate Bernard Claston among many others, took issue with Biden's comment.

Greg Price, a senior digital strategist at X Strategies LLC, tweeted a clip of Biden's remark, followed by the statement, "FACT CHECK: Joe Biden is both white and stupid." Meanwhile, talk show host Gerry Callahan asked, "Because white boys are stupid? What an idiot."

This isn't the first time Biden has made comments that have been perceived as racially insensitive. Last year, he received backlash for telling a radio host, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't Black." Biden also recently caused controversy by referring to Maryland's first Black governor, Wes Moore, as "boy."

As reported by Fox News, some conservatives have accused Biden of engaging in "self-hatred" and adhering to a Marxist definition of racism that posits that only white people can be racist because they hold the majority of power in society.

Others have criticized Biden for making light of racial tensions during a time when the country is grappling with issues of race and equality.

Despite the criticism, Biden has continued to defend his comments and his commitment to promoting racial justice and equality.
