Regarding Rep. Jasmine Crockett [View all]

Posted in the AfAm Group

In her defense - she did NOT call that little snot MTG a
"Bleach blonde, bad built butch body.

Mr. Comer said a insult of appearance did not violate house rules.

She was asking a fair question.

Mr. Comer should have behaved as a gentleman and defended Representative Crockett - clearly stating that MTSnotface was out of order.

Maybe he was drunk - which is why he allowed that insult to stand.

He then didn't seem to understand the question Rep Crockett asked.

All she did was ask a question with context (bbbb).

I can't possibly be the only black woman at DU who has been put in uncomfortable positions while engaging in her work. For Gen X - people snidely called us arrogant. Our mothers, and aunts were called uppity.

Something that hits me? There seems to be this dominant culture belief that Rep Crockett should have "taken it".

Nope - no more. We aren't our grandmother's. You insult one of us - you insult us all. Dear Dominant Culture America - You are on notice.
