The House of Representatives is becoming more of an insane asylum every day, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the perfect example of that. During a hearing on Wednesday, the Texas congresswoman went nuts, screaming about "oppression" and the "white man." Some might call that racist. Democrats call that normal, as depraved as it is.
Crockett lost her mind while debating the "Dismantle DEI Act," which seeks to eliminate DEI initiatives within the federal government. The incoming Trump administration has already identified it as a priority.
CROCKETT: You can then misuse words like oppression. There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white man was dragged out of their homes. You tell me which white man got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are gonna go and work, we are gonna steal your wives, we are gonna rape your wives. That didn't happen. That is oppression.
Crockett's argument is a logical fallacy. Oppression is not a ranking system. One can be oppressed while not having suffered slavery (though plenty of white people have been enslaved throughout history). DEI initiatives do not suddenly become just because someone else was discriminated against in worse ways. It's also worth noting that Crockett has never been enslaved or anything close to it.

It looks like Mr. Casar is wondering why he got a seat assigned next to hers.
Check the demographics of her constituents. From wiki:
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett represents portions of Dallas and Tarrant Counties, with the cities of Dallas......
Nuff said.
She can tell that to all the white men who did not get college scholarships - or even admission - while DEI candidates far below them in GPA ranking got full, paid-for tuition and living expenses at prestigious universities (both my kids saw this at their own high school).
Or the white men who are repeatedly passed over for jobs and promotions by lesser qualified DEI candidates (saw this in my own profession).
Or young white males in any public school in the US who are told they are the cause of all of the worlds problems - responsible for slavery, oppression, colonialism and genocide, past, present and future.
Trump is right to dismantle DEI it is inherently racist and oppressive and favors skin color over merit.
And, I didn't ask for you to be here, nor did any one of my ancestors - but they did fight and die to free you people.
Abraham Lincoln himself wanted the country rid of former slaves and would have done it save for his assassination.
These black-studies jokettes just need to grow up. That is so f’n childish.
Go to the post office. Nothing but black women.
