Dem Rep. Pressley says it's 'not good enough' for white people to not be racist: 'Come on, Becky'
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2020 | Douglas Ernst

Rep. Ayanna Pressley says non-racist white people need to essentially become activists if they want to be considered culturally “good enough” in 2020.

The Massachusetts Democrat recently spoke with comedian Samantha Bee about the George Floyd protests, racism in America, and the role of “Karen” and “Becky” — blanket terms for all white women — moving forward.

“Everyone will say, ‘Well, you know, I’m not a racist,’” Ms. Pressley told the host for a recent “Full Frontal” interview. “Yeah, great. That’s not good enough. What you need to be is anti-racist. And that means being intentional and deliberate and unapologetic and dismantling structural racism and systemic oppression, and not being afraid to call it what it is: white supremacy.”

Sometimes that response is the most appropriate.

I’m sorry, Baldy, but I simply don’t have time to spend pursuing your BLM dream. My thing is trying to reduce or eliminate abortions in America, of which 4 out of 10 are performed on black women. So tell me again how much “black lives matter.” 🤣

Yeah...I'll get right on that after I feed the cat and water the garden.

I will treat them like everybody else. No one gets better treatment or worse. Unless that person earns it either way.

Pressley and her people will follow the honky to the ends of the earth to gain access to them and their gibs.

It’s all about the gibs and only the gibs.

What fraction of the US population of them would celebrate being given their own states?

Not many. If fact, they’s be downright scared of having their own states, cuz they know they cannot take care of themselves and that they’d quickly become ungovernable. They’d devolve into Haiti v2.0.

Sorry, but that’s the truth, and they know it.

If this type of garbage doesn’t wake up the Conservative and Independent voters in this country, nothing will.

You better rephrase that. I read where you are considering a move to Poland.

Better use Polish if you swear like that:>

“Using your privilege in a tangible way [is necessary],” Ms. Pressley continued June 10. “Doing more than liking and retweeting. OK? No more hashtags. … Let’s just do the work.”

She must mean this.

I’m not racist and I try to take people as they come, but now, I just don’t care any more. I just refuse to feel guilty for sins I have not committed.

Honest question: why the focus on white women (e.g. “Karen” and “Becky” but no male equivalents)? Surely this brave woman of color isn’t committing the heinous SJW sin of letting those eeevil white men off the hook? Why do some (definitely not all) black women seem to have a thing against white women?
