Benny Johnson, the chief creative officer of conservative organization Turning Point USA, shared a video that contrasted Ocasio-Cortez speaking with Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and asked his 135,000 followers, “Who has the worst, pandering fake Southern accent?” That tweet then got a considerable signal boost when it was favorited by President Donald Trump, Jr.

Hillary is the wrong color. Darn the luck.

Is this nitwit saying that because so many blacks don’t like Hispanics that she had to “code switch” by imitating black speech patterns at Al Sharpton’s shakedown party?

And “code switching” is her euphemism for “pandering”?

Woman of color, my a$$. She’s lighter skinned than I am, and since when has straight hair been unprofessional? Somebody smarter than her just taught her a new phrase, and she had to use it in a sentence. What a dingbat. She got caught black-voice pandering, and she cannot let it go.

I had no idea what code switching was. Seems its a real enough thing that it has its own memes...

Who knew?

"Code-switching is a tool communities learn when they’re told their voice, appearance and mannerisms are “unprofessional.”

So you did your code-switching to a low brow accent from your usual high brow accent appear unprofessional to your black audience.

Got it.
Sounds to me like you were being demeaning to them.

“Code-switching,” eh? And to think that for centuries, the rest of us, of all races and cultures, called it “play-acting, posing, and LYING.”

Well, both of my parents had multiple advanced degrees, so no one ever accused them of being dumb. You, on the other hand....

How is Occasional Cowfarts a “person of Color?” She’s Hispanic, so her ancestry is Southwestern Europe, which is pretty analogous to Trump’s Central European heritage. Their ancestors were separated by 1500 miles and shared a common Judeo Christian culture. Spanish people and Germanic people are Caucasian. She should stop invoking this bs race card.
