Rep Crockett's White Boy Statement - AfAm Group [View all]

I listen to Clay Cane's show daily. I was listening real time.

Why the he'll are we shooting the messenger? Tone policing?


“It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost,” she said in the Instagram clip. “So far. And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win.”

“So there’s a lot of people that are like, ‘You know what? Let’s go find the safest white boy we can find,’” Crockett continued. “I mean, I’m just saying.”



Remember how people said 2016 was *rigged* for HRC?
Whined about a primary that was impossible to have not happening?

“No, for real,” Crockett agreed before claiming this is already in motion. “And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate. I had a donor on the phones with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate.”

“So I can tell you — and I tell you — it’s not a black person nor a woman, ok?” she continued. “So they, quote unquote ‘they,’ have chosen, and when I say ‘they,’ it’s the same donors that most likely had their opinions about [former President] Joe Biden.”


She told the truth - people get offended.

Or maybe folks could have that same anger about primaries being rigged when its for a white guy?

BTW - its not going to be Bernie . I'd bet anyone $100 right now.

This is what David Hogg wants.

“What I think happened last election is younger men — they would rather vote for somebody who they don’t completely agree with, they don’t feel judged by,” Hogg said on Real Time with Bill Maher. “Than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly
.”


Rep Crockett shouldn't have to walk around on eggshells either.

Get used to it folks - she's Black womens' id. My instinct is say whatever you want because they hate us anyways.
