While Claiming to be ‘Palestinian’, Rashida Tlaib now says she’s “African American”
BIN ^ | 6/30/2020 | Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

The recent racial tensions have caused some confusion among the Democratic Party’s more radical elements with Congressman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez claiming that Latinos are black and Congressman Rashida Tlaib claiming that she, as a “Palestinian”, is of African descent.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known by her initials as AOC, is the Democratic Party’s Representative for New York’s 14th congressional district. She is the youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress but with both her parents benign born in Puerto Rico, she should know a bit about Latino culture. It, therefore, came as quite a surprise when she claimed that Latinos are black.

“I always say Latinos are black…We run an entire racial spectrum so we have to have conversations around ‘colorism,’ and we have to have conversations around the African and indigenous roots from which we come and how that’s reflected in systems of power, wealth inequality, and frankly, our political system,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC does seem confused since she unequivocally claimed in an MSNBC interview last year that wasn’t black.

“My identity is the descendant of many different identities. I am the descendant of African slaves. I am the descendant of indigenous people. I am the descendant of Spanish colonizers… I am a descendant of all sorts of folks. That doesn’t mean I’m black, that doesn’t mean I’m native, but I can tell the story of my ancestors.”

Remember in the Ten Commandments movie when Moses had the black people welcomed in? A nod to the many references in the Bible including the fact that the northern part of Africa begins the Algeria and Egypt areas that Rommel fought for in WWII.

So AOC says Latinos (Latinx) are “black” and Tlaib says fellow Arabs are “black.” So all owe reparations to the Middle Eastern terrorists, too.

Get out your wallets. Payouts are going to drain them.

And a mouth that she could easily charge someone to take a tour around.

She resembles a PEZ.

Funny how everyone wants to be a target of “systemic racism.” When is Elizabeth Warren going to identify as African American?
