Let’s get one thing straight: Jasmine Crockett isn’t ‘ghetto.’ She’s not from ‘the streets.’ She’s not the hood-savvy voice of the everyday black American struggling to survive in an America where Democrats have failed them. No, Jasmine Crockett is a fraud. And what’s worse? She’s a carefully packaged fraud, hand-picked and propped up by the Democratic Party to sell one of the most insidious lies of all: that this caricature of blackness — loud, ratchet, grammatically incorrect — is somehow authentic.
Let me be clear: the problem isn’t that Jasmine Crockett is educated. I commend that. She went to private school. She went to law school. She founded her own law firm. Good for her. The problem is that she actively hides all of that in order to play a role — a role she believes black America wants to see. Or more accurately, a role the Democratic Party thinks black America wants to see. That’s not empowerment. That’s minstrelsy.
Every time she opens her mouth, it’s like the Democrats are whispering behind her: “Dance for us. Say it just like that. Be that loud, angry, unpolished stereotype. The black folks will eat it up.” And honestly? It’s insulting. It’s degrading. And it should offend every single one of us.
Democrats didn’t pick Jasmine Crockett because of her policy chops or her legislative acumen. They picked her because she’s willing to perform. They picked her because she’s willing to dumb herself down, put on a synthetic wig, and serve up whatever viral, sass-filled soundbite will make MSNBC producers giggle with glee. Because nothing gets the Democratic donor class more excited than a “ghetto Barbie” they can use to pander to the black vote while avoiding the real work of policy.
But Crockett isn’t just offensive because she’s willing to play the part. She’s offensive because she’s not even being herself. Unlike her, I’ve never pretended to be someone I’m not. I don’t switch up my vernacular for Twitter. I don’t morph into some made-for-TV stereotype when the cameras start rolling. I know where I come from — and I’m not ashamed of it. But Jasmine? She knows damn well she didn’t grow up talking like that. She knows she benefited from elite education and opportunity. Yet now, she wants to rail against school choice and talk down to those of us who actually believe in empowering families to choose something better for their kids?
Give me a break.
Jasmine Crockett isn’t a representation of black excellence. She’s a puppet. She’s a political costume. And the strings are being pulled by the same party that once gave us Jim Crow and the KKK. Let that sink in.
The truth is, the Democratic Party doesn’t want articulate, principled, policy-focused black voices. They want performers. They want actors who can play the part, stir the base, and keep black America right where they want us — emotional, uninformed, and easily manipulated.
It’s time to pull the mask off. And Jasmine? You’ve worn yours long enough.

You're apparently saying that there are similarities. Fine. But to say that they sound the same is mistaken. The controversy going on now is mostly about how Crockett literally sounds, since her point of view is something we've heard a lot of lately.
Kudos to CJ Pearson. Well said.
If the Republicans had any brains they would recruit him to counter all the entitled black ghetto poverty pimps the Rats put in front of the TV.
THIS is the future! 😃
Keep her talking, every time she talks, we get young black men.
I love Senator John Kennedy.
Bkmk
“Ghetto Barbie” .... Oooooo.... that could stick!
She’s playing the part of a loud, ebonic-mouthed ghettopotamus but it’s not a stereotype. There are millions of them on Tiktok and other social media, as well as at your local Walmart.
“Well, I’ll say this. The Dem Party is pushing this chick front-n-center for a reason. Her act RESONATES with a whole lot of their base. Sad but true.”
See my #29.
I can’t think of a genuine black, democratic politician who started out in the ghetto. All of them, as far as I have heard, are fakes, having privileged upbringings’

I worked in Bossier City, LA for about a year and a half starting in 2017.
I listened to a conservative talk radio station there on occasion - the one that carried Rush Limbaugh. A couple of local conservatives did a show during weekday afternoon drive-time.
Senator John Kennedy did a weekly call-in every Wednesday (I think) to comment on current events. I made a point to listen on my way home from work because he was freakin’ hilarious. Love that guy.
They've got to stop stealing my stuff:

Y’all got it all wrong.
The fake part was when she was acting white.
This is her true self.
C J Pearson nails it. It’s a minstrel show.
Yep. It’s worse than AOC.
No. What I mean is to say it’s the same broken record talking points. I know they sound different but their rhetoric is the same.
