Congressional Democrats' attempts to look woke appeared to backfire on them Monday when a series of black Twitter users accused them of cultural appropriation.

Author Obianuju Ekeocha posted a video telling Democrats to stop "virtue signalling" by wearing African cloth in the Capitol.

"Excuse me, dear Democrats," she said. "In your tokenism, you didn't wait to find out that this thing that you're hanging around your neck is not just some African uniform -- it's actually the kente material. The kente belongs to the Ghanaian people, mainly the Ashanti tribe.

"I always thought the best thing for Trump to tell Blacks is that, “You may not always like what I say, but at least I’m not trying to BS you.”

I wish he would say that. Not only would it be brilliant, it would be true.

Sure is a lot of Democrat interest in Ghana lately. Is there a mining industry there?

I’m looking at that picture. All Nancy needs is a whip, and Chuck would drop his drawers and bend over.

Kente cloth is an art form and the patterns are a big deal and to be worn by specific people. I thought everyone knew that.

Wakanda mess is this... very funny

[RedEyeJack]

That picture is the personification of pandering. Was Rodger Goodell also in that group. Get a couple of those things for Goodell and Briees to wear for their future public kneelings. Nice touch...

I’m actually surprised that the dems didn’t just storm the capitol and set it on fire to demonstrate their wokeness.

To lefties, all African countries are alike!

Especially Wakanda.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Hmmm, if you don’t want to be treated like grown-ups, there’s not much other choice.

[mass55th]

Democrats...symbolism over substance.

"You can just hear Nanzi yelling 'don’t you get uppity with me!' "

Or: "I don’t need a lecture or a speech," and "Don't mess with me."

[P.O.E.]

OMG these people are stuck in the 60s !
