House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling on Black athletes to boycott Southeastern Conference schools in states where Republicans have pushed new congressional maps - just not in other States where he likes the maps. Jeffries made the appeal Tuesday alongside the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP - a racist organization if ever there was one, arguing that Republican redistricting efforts amount to a 'direct attack on Black political representation'.
“This is an unprecedented moment, featuring an unprecedented attack on black political representation, and therefore it requires an unprecedented response,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Capitol Hill. “We are here standing in solidarity with NAACP in its call for athletes to boycott institutions within the SEC that belong to states that have unleashed these Jim Crow-like racially oppressive tactics, which is unacceptable, unconscionable and un-American,” the New York Democrat continued.
The fight is part of a larger political battle over redistricting in states including Texas, Missouri, Florida and Tennessee, which have all redrawn their congressional maps and faced criticism from Democrats and civil rights groups. Republicans say those fights are legal and political, not racial, and the clash is expected to intensify ahead of the midterm elections.
It's perfectly okay when they try to redistrict, but it's racist if other do. That in and of itself proves he - and any other member of a so-called 'Black Caucus' - is a racist simply by denying entry to Whites. That simple.

That is one helluva great price.

can we assume that democratic blacks are bereft of ideas and policies that would benefit everyone?
ReplyDeleteLet's talk about disenfranchisement. If we were to simply RESTORE the level of representation we had when this nation began, the size of the US House of Representatives would need to grow from 435 to 18,400. Yes, THAT IS HOW MUCH REPRESENTATION THEY HAVE STOLEN FROM ALL OF US in 250 years. What exactly are we celebrating again??? They get us fighting over 8 or 9 districts, while there should be 26-27 times MORE Representatives that would absolutely more adequately represent us ALL. Truly, the ONLY PEOPLE BEING REPRESENTED in the US House are bigPharma, big Oil, Big Insurance, Israel, Wall Street, and everyone else BUT the citizens of the Gerrymandered district.
ReplyDeleteNAACP, an acronym for what is this a racist org, or do they just like to say colored people?
