Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, became upset during a House hearing on Wednesday, which led her to rant about how white men were never oppressed in the United States.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing about the “Dismantle DEI Act”, which seeks to weaken diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, Crockett responded to a Republican colleague championing the bill as a “strong response to the oppression of our rights, liberties and freedoms.”

Crockett strongly objected to the Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., using the word “oppression.”

“You consistently said over and over the word ‘oppression,’ and every time that you said it, it was almost as if I was hearing nails on a chalkboard, because it seems like you don’t understand the definition of ‘oppression,’ And I’d ask you to just refer to Google to help you out. Oppression is the prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control. That is the definition of oppression,” she said. “And so, as I sit here as a black woman who practiced civil rights, let me tell you the reason that my colleagues wanted to make sure you understood the same black history that your side of the aisle wants to delete out of classrooms is because you can then misuse words like ‘oppression.’”

Crockett argued white men in the United States haven’t faced oppression because they weren’t forced off their lands and sent to a foreign country as slaves.

“There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that ‘You are going to go to work.

She needs to practice harder because so far her performance is substandard. I don't think she really knows the material.

“You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes.”

I heard that idiot yesterday. It amazes me the level of stupidity that gets admitted to represent people in the American congress. My thought at the time was “oh, well I bet that there were a few J6 political prisoners who could fit into that subset.”

I’m of mostly Irish extraction. My ancestors came here because they wanted a better life. As Irish peasants they most certainly oppressed. The same can be said for the part of my family that were German peasants. Nobody has a solitary claim on suffering lady so STHU.

Does this DEI hire understand that HER PEOPLE, the DEMOCRAPS, were the VERY ones who OWNED slaves, CREATED THE KKK and voted ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.

Or is she genuinely that stupid.

What color were the African slavers?

What about the WHITE Irish, Italian, Polish and Jewish immigrants who were indentured servants, worked as slop maids and worked as child laborers in sweat shops? The Scots-Irish who died by the thousands in the coal mines?

History is hard i guess.

That's some serious white appropriation going on there with that wig.  She should just lose the long, flowing, straight-haired fake locks and grow a 'fro like her so-called ancestors .. who most often weren't kidnapped out of their homes but sold into slavery by other black Africans.

White men have totally rejected cows like you. That’s your problem.

[BlackbirdSST]

You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that ‘You are going to go to work.

Let me feed you some breaking news sunshine. You have experienced none of that, ever.

She practiced "victimhood" and it looks like she's still practicing.

The only person who does well at the victimhood scam (and it is nothing but a scam) are the race baiters like her. It doesn't work for the rest of her people...just keeps them at the bottom of the ladder.

It’s good for Republicans to have this lunatic around, it reminds people how crazy many of the Democrats really are, the Democrats who know this person is hurting their party are too afraid to stand up and tell her to sit down and shut up.

When her, Rashida Talib, AOC, Ilhan Omar and others are the face of the Democratic Party, it’s a major opportunity for Republicans if they can keep from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
