Pulling yourself up by the Bootstraps is so AWFUL! Or is it just so WHITE, Joyless?
“Pulling yourself up by the Bootstraps is so AWFUL! Or is it just so WHITE, Joyless?”
On Thursday, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), speaking literally about a common expression on hard work, said it was “physically impossible” for people to pull themselves up by their own “bootstraps” or “shoelaces.”
“This idea of a bootstrap,” started AOC. “You know this idea, this metaphor of a bootstrap started off as a joke.”
“Because, it’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces,” she continued. “It’s physically impossible!”
Ocasio-Cortez, a former bartender who is now a congresswoman, added: “The whole thing is a joke.”
So, if I have this leftist lingo-gymnastics figured out, then a black individual pulling himself up by his own bootstraps is white cultural appropriation?...
