| Women of color being marginalized by the status quo. Time to shake things up. |
They really talk a mean game when it comes to inclusiveness but it seems like the Democratic Party is still not welcoming. It's especially comes to women of color. The party continues to fall victim to another pathetic culture war sponsored by that imbecile, Fox News, conservative agitators and Republicans in the House and Senate.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called out top Democratic leaders for allowing the Republicans to dictate a narrative about her fellow colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse. However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us. https://t.co/7T1OlwS1YG— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) April 13, 2019
Omar along with Tlaib are the first Muslim women to represent Congress. They are women of color and part of the Justice Democrats, a group of progressives determined to oust moderate and conservative Democrats standing in the way of progress.
Omar spoke at a CAIR summit in Los Angeles and a snippet of her comments about 9/11 were used in an attack by the far white and that imbecile.

The narrative is completely false. It was a deliberate attack on Omar because she is a Muslim, a woman of color and an opinion that often is overshadowed by dark overtures sparked by far-right extremism.
Given how the far-white and Republicans are constantly attacking women of color, the Democrats are either silent or complicit to this. I've discussed this on Journal de la Reyna. I think you're seeing a pattern here. Because if I had mentioned those below, then I can assure you that women of color are under attack. I've seen it and I'm for one am tired of it.
Seen it done towards Ilhan Omar.
Seen it done towards Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Seen it done towards Rashida Tlaib.
Seen it done towards Kamala Harris.
Seen it done towards Maxine Waters.
Seen it done towards Shelia Jackson Lee.
Seen it done towards Barbara Lee.
Seen it done towards Kimberly Foxx.
Seen it done towards Marilyn Mosby.
Seen it done towards Stacey Abrams.
Seen it done towards Frederica Wilson
Seen it done towards Michelle Obama.
They've been attacked personally. It's not about policies anymore. It is flat out name calling, slander, race baiting and body shaming.
You don't hear a peep from Democratic leaders. It's either tepid or they huddle in a closed room telling these women to sit down and shut up.
I did not run for Congress to be silent. I did not run for Congress to sit on the sidelines. I ran because I believed it was time to restore moral clarity and courage to Congress. To fight and to defend our democracy.— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) April 13, 2019
Omar is right. She did not come to Washington, DC to be a part of the status quo. She is not going to be lectured by old white men who aged like their policies.
She did not get elected to make people feel comfortable about the status quo.
She came on the backs of young progressives sick of the Democratic Party playing nice to an unwilling, uncompromising and out of touch Republican Party.

| Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Rashida Tliab (D-MI) are being talked about constantly in the junk food media. They are under attack by the far-white and members of their own party. Trump and Republicans are using this to advance an agenda. They can't win on issues so why not pick on women of color who are powerful. |
The Democratic Party's top leaders are white, old, rich and status quo. Think about it? If you have Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin and Steny Hoyer dictating the message, we're not going to vote in 2020.
The Democratic Party managed to succeed with nominating an African American man as its candidate for President of the United States. Once he was elected as President of the United States, you seen an uptick in racism. The Republican top senate leader Mitch McConnell promised that he would put the business on the Black guy. He and Republicans dog whistled through 2009 to 2017.
They ran on attacking him, his wife, their children and those who were around them personally.
Yeah, they attacked them for even talking to rappers like Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z and Rick Ross.
They paved the way for one imbecile who is a washed up reality television star to become our current President of the United States.
The Democrats are bragging about how diverse their candidates are. That doesn't mean shit. They can't light the fire to a base that is hoping for more fight and no caving to pressure.
Right now out the many candidates running for the Democratic nomination, five are people of color. There are six women running for the nomination.
They hardly get the free coverage. They barely get the attention because the junk food media is obsessed with Omar, Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez.
Donald J. Trump enjoyed free publicity because he's white, rich, a household name and a "winner." Even if he fails at truthfulness, he is not called out by his own party. The Republicans are either satisfied with the way he is running things or they are afraid that if you spite him, donors will not help their reelections.

| We welcome more women of color to join these lawmakers. |
The junk food media, Trump, Republicans and Democrats want women of color to apologize, fall in line, shut up and resign under pressure.
I am tired of the double standards. If you have a white man who lies nonstop, attacks women of color, caters to a base of extremists, attack the very freedoms of human decency and the way of life, why can't someone hold him to the standards?
I swear if the Democrats continue to let women of color down, they will lose in 2020. Mark my words, the Russian propaganda isn't the only thing Democrats got to worry about. They will see a block of voters either sit it out or vote for Trump despite his bullshit.
Trump has a 75% chance of winning reelection.
We need to change the direction. We need to understand that we are all allowed a place at the table.
If we continue to allow Trump and Republicans dictate the narratives, we will lose. I surely don't want to have four more years of Trump but it seems likely we're going to get complicit to the chances he will serve.

Yes! The targets are Black, Latina and Muslim women by right wing and alt right bigots. They're cowards of the first order. They also attacked Women's March activists Tamika Mallory and Linda Sasour for their alleged "anti semitism ". SMH.🤔
ReplyDeleteHistory repeats itself.
ReplyDelete1991 Anita Hill
1992 Sister Souljah
1993 Lani Guinier and Johnetta Cole
1994 Joycelyn Elders
These were women of Color who were attacked by both white conservative and liberal racists and bigots in the early 1990s. Today's no different.
