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.

Ghettopotomus, a so-called “educated” deluxe model.
One can take the potumus out of the ghetto, but one will never get the ghetto out of the potumus. /s
She seem to be a black grievance HO. Dat beez smack on her haid.
Mr. SPIKE LEE (Film Director): A lot of stuff that’s on today is coonery and buffoonery, and I know it’s making a lot of money...
(Soundbite of applause)
True dat! I had to look up minstrelsy. Fitting narrative of her
minstrelsy, coonery, buffoonery, She’s a walking, talking Stereotype and she’s doing it on purpose.
Fake ghetto accent, fake pronunciations, fake everything.
It is insulting and degrading.....................
She’s a House slave.
Democrats are racists. She’s playing for her massa.
Republicans freed the slaves but 160 years later they just can’t be free. Guess slavery is in the DNA.
A lot if white Slavs have the same problem. They seem to live up North in MN, WI, PA, MI.
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.
Not the educated ones...................
Jasmine is the perfect example of putting lipstick on a pig.
As I said, a WHOLE LOT of their base.
Have you seen the stats on public edyumikayshun in cities?
HOORAY C.J. Pearson!
LOL. Can’t get enough.
Senator John Kennedy on AOC is pure gold:
“I consider AOC to be the leader of the Democratic Party.”
“I think she’s the reason there are directions on a shampoo bottle.”
“Our plan for dealing with her is Operation Let Her Speak.”
She has way more attitude than brains
Don’t wanna be “acting white”, and sheet.
I really like CJ!
Certainly well presented argument against the posturing of the faux-ho from Texas (St. Louis, previously).
I’ve got to say, I do admire how she can so easily switch between ‘ghetto’ and real English. But, that’s just confirmation of CJ’s view.
