(Crankers) Rep. Jasmine Crockett was having an anti-white outburst during a hearing on the Dismantle DEI Act. It’s not quite clear what point she was trying to make, but she was mocked on social media after she went into this temper tantrum.
Crockett started randomly yelling about the white people, oppression, and possibly comments linked to slavery. People are trying to dismantle DEI hiring practices and things like that, but Crockett just goes off on a tangent that doesn’t really make any sense. It seems like she’s against the Dismantle DEI Act – which is fine, but her arguments didn’t make any sense and sounded more like a rant on racism and nothing else.
Some might say DEI is the reason she’s a lawmaker, and ironically the same reason why people should support the Dismantle DEI Act. Most Americans want DEI to be eliminated because some jobs have been hiring people because of WHO they are and not WHAT they can do, which is leading to non-qualified people getting jobs and doing a horrible for the sake of diversity. Some key quotes by Jasmine Crockett, as noted by Fox News, are below:
“You consistently said over and over the word ‘oppression,’ and every time that you said it, it was almost as if I was hearing nails on a chalkboard, because it seems like you don’t understand the definition of ‘oppression,’ And I’d ask you to just refer to Google to help you out. Oppression is the prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control. That is the definition of oppression… And so, as I sit here as a Black woman who practiced civil rights, let me tell you the reason that my colleagues wanted to make sure you understood the same Black history that your side of the aisle wants to delete out of classrooms is because you can then misuse words like ‘oppression.”
“There has been no oppression for the White man in this country. You tell me which White men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that ‘You are going to go to work. We are going to steal your wives. We are going to rape your wives.’ That didn’t happen. That is oppression… We didn’t ask to be here. We’re not the same migrants that y’all constantly come up against. We didn’t run away from home. We were stolen. So yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you want to sit here and act like… and don’t let it escape you that it is White men on this side of the aisle telling us, people-of-color on this side of the aisle that y’all are the ones being oppressed, that y’all are the ones that are being harmed. That’s not the definition of oppression. You tell me the prolonged, cruel or unjust treatment that you’ve had and we can have a conversation.”
