Rep. Ayanna Pressley: “We have been cleaning up after violent, White supremacist mobs for generations and it must end”
CNN ^ | Feb 7 | By Shawna Mizelle and Sam Fossum,

Posted on 02/08/2021 5:34:27 AM PST by RandFan

Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley has called on the country "to address the evil and scourge that is White supremacy," one month after pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol.

"One of the images that I'm haunted by is the Black custodial staff cleaning up the mess left by that violent White supremacist mob," the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday, reflecting on her experience on Capitol Hill during the deadly siege on January 6.

"That is a metaphor for America. We have been cleaning up after violent, White supremacist mobs for generations and it must end."

Those blacks who are hard-working honest citizens are now ‘multiracial white supremacists.’ White supremacy is not about race, but about culture.
These people are rejecting Western Civilization in favor of indolence, savagery and ignorance.

Should a bitter fringe dictate how the rest of society lives?

That's exactly what's happening.

AOC
BLM

The answer of course is no. If there were someway we could cull them from here in one fell swoop, it would be ok with me. What I fear is that with all the rhetoric being ginned up constantly in the media and worse one political party seemingly being led around by its nose by it, this may get to the point of a full blown race war over a growing minority of imbeciles and their fellow travelers. Slavery ended 150 years ago after a 4 year civil war. Trillions have been spent in trying to erase the inheritance of that system. Listening to the BLM crowd today, it is like nothing was done. Someone not telling the truth here.

Amazing.The stupidity and hate is so strong with Pressley that even her hair has abandoned her.

AOC’s so stupid, her hair hangs around just to see what’s next.

CNN is insane

I disagree. Pressley is insane. CNN is merely acting as her mouthpiece.

Pressley has lost her mind and is hopeless forever. Let us hope she progresses no further.

> Most of that 12.7% are law-abiding, hard-working, honest citizens who view themselves as equals in society.
They want for themselves what everyone wants and that is respect and the opportunity to live the American dream.

And methinks the vast majority of GOP leadership is too lazy to work at brining them over to our side, Trump being the notable exception.

>>It's disturbing that these people are passing laws, etc.
>>Just wait for their “domestic terror” bill.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

Gotta hand it to the democrat machine. They are extremely disciplined with their messaging. Someone issues the new word of the day and within seconds every news story is identical.
“Baseless”

Everything to Mrs. Clean is white supremacist

Maybe some company should offer her her own cleaning product so the "Mr. Clean" image wouldn't seem so "white supremacist"
