Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas regarding naming of hurricanes.

"All racial groups should be represented," Lee said, according to the Hill. She hoped federal weather officials "would try to be inclusive of African-American names."

"We are one, we Americans, and we reject any intruder who seeks to divide us by race or class. We honor cultural identity. However, separatism is not allowed. Separatism is not the American way. And we should not permit ideas like political correctness to become some fad that could reverse our hard-won achievements in civil rights and human rights.
Xenophobia has no place in the Democratic Party. We seek to unite people not divide them and we reject both white racism and black racism. This party will not tolerate
bigotry under any guise. America's strength is rooted in its diversity.

Yes, I don't think Barbara Jordan would be pleased with what Queen Shiela has done to her district. Managed to keep them all on the Queen's Plantation though.
