"Coventry City last won the FA Cup in what year? No? Well, I'm not surprised you didn't get that. It was in fact a trick question. Coventry City have never won the FA Cup."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the nation’s “weird American Dream mythology” needs to change — particularly in the minds of “cisgendered” and poor white citizens.
The rising Democratic Party lawmaker from New York told the Intercept’s “Deconstructed” podcast this week that poor white people need to accept that they “benefit” from their skin color, and more so if they identify as their birth sex.
“I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because it’s very painful for a community to understand and have to go through this — like, you can be — the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people,” she said Monday. “And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. It’s very painful to admit that you had advantages.”
The lawmaker then pivoted to gender politics and the “really hard” decision for Americans to admit “some privilege … of some type.” “I’m a cisgendered woman,” she said. “I will never know the trauma of feeling like I’m not born in the right body. And that is a privilege that I have, no matter how poor my family was when I was born...

Keep running that “poor white” trash over to our side
Trump finds them jobs, better jobs, and gives them hope . . . you alienate them with racist stereotypes and condescencion

There are millions of them. This is the problem.
AOC has all four of her limbs. How does she bear the privilege? Walk the talk, pony up and grovel, cisgendered Congress-being!
Apparently, that’s a mental disease you suffer if you are ok in your own skin, ie, what used to be called a normal person.
I’ve said it for years. The Democrat party has steeped itself in Neo-marxism and “critical theory” for so long, anti-white ideology has become part of the warp and woof of their ideology. They can’t change.
They happily reveal themselves as anti-white racists more and more often.
Ditto the troglodytes who elected the 2 muzzlime women to Congress, complete with their hatred for Israel and their allegiance to our terrorist enemies. They were elected because a concentration of muzzlimes sufficient to comprise a voting bloc was allowed to accrue in a given area. And look what that brought us--hate-spewing harpies cursing out our president and vowing destruction of Israel right in their Congressional offices.
If only she could understand that being on welfare is never a benefit.
Think of the number of loons it took to vote her into office.
Another example of how I may have perhaps lived too long.
Cisgendered? And yet another new word to learn that babies with the plumbing on the outside are male and inside are female.
And yet 40 some years ago I had to learn men and women are not different.
Dang, people have way too much time on their hands.
You mean like most all conservatives are and most all liberals lie about???
I don’t suppose we could be so lucky as to have OC be the Dem nominee?
It’s extremely difficult to believe that this young woman is a college graduate given her thinking, writing and speaking.

this from the same moron who grew up in the upper middle class neighborhood of Yorktown Hts...keep running your mouth lady...
She’s bonkers, Jim
Actually, upon further consideration, it is harder to consider that she made it past the 5th grade. ;-o
The more she talks, the more convinced I am that she is a total airhead.
The opposite of ‘transgender’
cisgender — a person whose gender identity corresponds with
the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.
They were not prepared for the “Coventry City” question!!!
