Alexandria Ocasio Cortez says she is an "Descendant of African Slaves"...as well as other things

[Neuromancer]

That is what people said when the slaves said they wanted to be free. That is what people said when African Americans said they wanted Civil Rights. That is what people said when African Americans pushed for integration. That is what people said when African Americans elected mayors, governors, representatives, senators and a president.

Don't ever underestimate African Americans again.

Just ride our coattails you dusty fugger.

Yeah that was a stupid statemet. History says other wise. All the "never gonna happens" became "How did we live with out this?"

 

[Deuterion]

Yea.. but she’s not Afro-Latina.. she’s a CAC PR.

She clearly looks of African descent to me...I’ve always thought that too. That doesn’t make her ADOS but she does look like a light skinned sister.

Getting her ducks in order for reparations under the "New Deal"

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Op an agent troll trying to spread the lie that AOC wants slavery reparations for latinos.

She was being asked about Elizabeth Warren's claim to be Native American. Her statement had nothing to do with reparations.

 

[Black Hans]

This is starting to get out of hand First Ann Coulter, now AOC with the subliminal "I'm a descendant of African slaves". They clearly know about this movement now, and while AOC is cool, she isn't a descendant of American slaves so she should be trying to come at that angle. And Ann Coulter, I don't think I need to explain why having a far-right troll promoting #ADOS will lead to a bad thing . Yvette and Tone got to clean this up NOW.

foh

 

[loyola llothta]

Something about her rubs me the wrong way. I want to like her but I know deep down something is off.

wolf in sheep's clothing. she's being groomed as the next big thing

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

maybe it’s just an nyc thing
but i remember a time when Puerto Rican’s were looked at as light skin nikkaz


i mean in the 80’s & 90’s there was just as much Ricans Five-percenters or bean pie selling Muslim then actually Blacks

Basically.

In NYC, most PRs that looked like her were either classified as "Negro" or "Mulatto" in the US Census until the 1960s.

In Harlem, the leading Negro/black history museum, The Schomburg Center, was founded by Arturo Schomburg, an Afro PR.

Congressman Charlie Rangel's father was Puerto Rican.

What she is saying is unremarkable, other than for the fact that we've dismissed education achievement for such a long time, that her statement becomes newsworthy.

AOC said it out of her own mouth. She said that reparations start with the New Deal & Redlining. Due to her incorrect timeline, she further states that Mexicans & Puerto Rican’s deserve reparations. This was in a conversation with Coates. She’s a blood sucking leech.

She snuck that Latino group right at the end in a very sneaky way. She doubles down on it in the longer video. Again, she is a blood sucking leech trying to bandwagon on the AADOS movement.

It's crazy how yall love to get on the "I no black papi"s but as soon as one says "I'm black" y'all Hit a

Weeelll not really"

Never change Coli, never change

 

[I Really Mean It]

Yea.. but she’s not Afro-Latina.. she’s a CAC PR.

No, she isn't, nor is she denying her cac lineage. She's acknowledging that, like most Puerto Ricans, she's a mulatto comprised of African, indigenous, and cac blood.

 

[Devilinurear]

We know breh, but she knew what she was doing.

She said she descended from slaves, so when reparations happen, she and other Latinos can try to lay claim to it.

Why would Latinos of any kind be entitled to reparations given out by america?

 

[kingofnyc]

Yea.. but she’s not Afro-Latina.. she’s a CAC PR.

nikkaz whom don't live in diverse hoods say the stupidest shyt about race & ethnicity

Puerto Rico did not become a possession of the USA until after slavery had ended in the USA. So she is not an African American.

she never said she was AA , matter fact she said although she has African ancestry that dosnt make her black

It is sad that it is working to a degree.
