I’m not a big fan of accusing people of cultural appropriation. If you want to eat a taco on Cinco de Mayo, have fun. If you like orange chicken, by all means, let’s do this thing. But there’s a difference between casual partaking of other cultures, which is one of the awesome things about America, and trying to appropriate the lived struggles of oppressed people for political and personal gain.
That’s what makes Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez so insidious. Over and over, usually through the “people of color” canard, she’s tried to equalize her upper crust, pampered upbringing with those who fought for civil rights for black Americans and have the battle scars to prove it. For more on why this is such an issue, be sure to check out the great Kira Davis’ viral op-ed entitled Kira Davis: The Term People of Color Hijacks Black America’s Hard Earned Legacy and I’m Sick of It.
Apparently, AOC didn’t get the memo because she found the shark and did a double back flip over it today.
Tom Elliott @tomselliott .@AOC: “Latinos are black … We have to have conversations around ‘colorism,’ and we have to have conversations around the African and indigenous roots from which we come and how that’s reflected in systems of power.”

Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race.
P.S. Show us your boobs.
Because the people in charge of the cities don’t want to arrest them.
Yes to both
2020 is a dumpster fire

Here’s the latest:

- AOC declared herself black
- Another shooting in CHAZ
- TikTokers discovered a human body in a suitcase and took selfies with it in Seattle
And it’s only Monday
I’m a white Hispanic, so not sure what this stupid barfly is talking about.
>>AOC: “Latinos are black … We have to have conversations around ‘colorism,’ and we have to have conversations around the African and indigenous roots from which we come and how that’s reflected in systems of power.”
Cortez wasn’t a slave, he was a Conquistador. YOUR ancestors are guilty.
“Blackness” appears to be a set of strict Marxist political opinions, rather than a skin color.
this guy needs to update his video

LOL! I was thinking that the Latin/Hispanic people I know are going to have something to say about this.
Well the Cortez lady is a woman and we all know what John and Yoko said:

About 65% of Latinos self identify as “white”.
Someone needs to dare the bartender into a Elizabeth Warren like DNA test.
Tucker Carlson said something similar last week “Why pay our taxes?!”
The elephant in the room. Chaos ensues. Looters loot. Rioters riot. Elected officials then tell the rest of us you have to wear a mask and if you go into a restaurant, you CAN remove it while chewing.
The only 2 things she has that are of any value to society.
