Boos at the inauguration?

Is it on already?
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

That's a very white room.
This attitude is quickly becoming a relic, but I imagine you'll cling to it for the rest of your life. My guess is that your skin color is more translucent than white, so you're the type.
One of the more interesting moments I caught at the inauguration was when the black preacher gave his "let freedom ring" speech, in typical black preacher cadence, dialed up to 11, and was met with a standing ovation. Biden, in camera frame right behind him during that ovation, kept his hands clasped in front of him. Kamala managed a golf clap.
Education is extremely important.

Actually I found it the most annoying of moments of today’s drama.
Much prefer the more tranquil and far more spiritually directed message/benediction delivered by the RC priest.

The preaching wasn't the interesting part, it was the reaction of Biden and Kamala in the background, in the context of the thunderous applause.

Hilary Clinton was outwardly laughing at some of the ridiculous things he proposed.
Still, the Rotunda speech was better than his mostly(?) unscripted, rambling, rather smug, lie-filled second speech. He's a convicted felon so no surprises.
I sincerely hope his actions do help your country and improve all of your lives. It's a second and highly significant chance to do good; his place in history is already assured, fingers crossed it will read well.

@Renauda Apparently it's a mode of performative communication that plays well with certain significant cultures in the US, and those cultures were represented at the inauguration, at the invitation of Trump. I appreciate that aspect.
Yes, that would explain why I cannot appreciate it. No wonder it seemed quite alien to me.
