‘Africans Are Not Children’: Democrats Face Backlash From Black Voices Over Political Stunt
Daily Wire ^ | June 9, 2020 | Ryan Saavedra

Democrats faced intense backlash on Monday over a political stunt that they pulled in an attempt to show solidarity with the black community over death of George Floyd.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY), and other top Democrats took at knee at Capitol Hill while wearing Kente cloth, which, as noted by The Washington Post, “comes from Ghana, where people wear it to show patriotism or celebrate a special occasion.”

The photo-op moment for Democrats quickly went viral online — but not in a good way, as numerous people from the black community mocked and criticized Democrats for their political stunt.

Army combat veteran Jeffrey A Dove Jr., a Republican running in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, responded: “Does wearing kente cloth and taking a knee mean you are all of a sudden ‘down with the struggle’? This is why people hate disingenuous politicians. Speaker Pelosi was there for the 94 crime bill. She is part of the problem.”

No children listen to parents and authority, they don’t do violent temper tantrums killing people and playing in traffic, they don’t murder each other at staggering rates and spend all their time blaming everyone else for decades of their own failures with trillions of other peoples’ dollars forked out for their welfare

They aren’t children, but easily gullible. I am not sure what you call voting for the same political party and getting little respect or help in improving your life.

Africans? WTH?

What a great way to invalidate the rest of what you have to
say.

Those Blacks this moron talks about, sure as hell wouldn’t
like having their citizenship stripped off them by some
lame ass idiot.

What an insult to them...

Ah, but the demonrat Overseers of the Gubmint Plantation DO think of them as children.. to be given goodies for votes, and also so they can continue to control them.

Always by transferring wealth from the rest of the country that is expected to pay, and most especially the globalist corporations (Wall Street and beyond) that the demon rats can “shake down” just like the life career of jesse jackson, al sharpton and the entire new group of suckers on the sponsored demonrat teats... with OUR money (and truth be told, on their “children’s” lost opportunities to get the money through work and ownership denied them).

All wearing the same scarves. Almost as if they belong to the same tribe. As was noted yesterday it’s the tribe that caught and enslaved most of the people shipped to the Americas.
