CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS BRINGS 'HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT' TO THE HOUSE FLOOR

by CHARLIE SPIERING

Speaking on the House floor, members of the Congressional Black Caucus used the “Hands up! Don’t Shoot” gesture popular with Ferguson protesters reacting to the shooting of Michael Brown. “Hands up, don't shoot,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. “It's a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence.” “It was a John Carlos moment,” pointed out Rep. Al Green (D-TX) “Because this has become the new symbol, a new statement, a statement wherein people around the country now are calling to the attention of those who do quite understand that this is a movement that will not dissipate. It will not evaporate.” Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) criticized the “attacks” by the Ferguson police department. She says they demonstrated “an assumption that young women and men who are African-American are inherently suspicious, a false assumption with deadly consequences.” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) praised the St. Louis Rams players who raised their hands prior to Sunday’s football game. “Let me say that I also admire the young St. Louis Rams players who raised their hands, to be able to share in the dignity of those young peaceful protesters,” she said.

John Boehner allowed it. It is his House and is responsible for all that goes on. Nancy is not innocent either as the senior member of the Democratic Party.

Watch this lie become legend as Michael Brown’s theft accomplice and the black racists in congress and the race baiters in the media repeat it over and over.

How is it that an openly racist clique is allowed to parade it’s racist agenda in the halls of Congress without censure?

Unfortunately, they have pigment protection, which lets them do pretty much whatever they please. I wish it were different, but that is Obamaworld.

I used to be able to laugh at the idiocy of such folks being part of our government bodies - now I just want to cry.
