Did the Democrats send a message to Black people when they threw Jasmine Crockett under the bus?

So basically she’s being defined by the sapphire trope, one that is based on racist stereotypes. If she speaks up, she’s a loud mouth firebrand. If she says nothing, she’s criticized. If she doesn’t speak with elegance and live up to a standard of, let’s just say Claire Huxtable (who is fictional), then she is not good enough.

It’s possible to criticize her without it being steeped in racist and sexist connotations.
She played the caricature role. She's smart enough that she should have known this. I believe she did and did it anyway. They have boxed her in

Having class is not unattainable :comeon:
Cut it out
So find a real life example to compare her to instead of a fictional character.

Carl Moseley Braun
Shirley Chisholm
Barbara Jordan

Would have all been criticized on this website in some form or fashion, just admit you/society hold her to unrealistic standards that you don’t ask for from other representatives.
Respectability Politics is part of the reason why black politics in DC has been stagnant. Everybody looking for the perfect mythical negro, instead of embracing the people we have in place.

There have been plenty of dignified Black women in congress/government. I mean, virtually ALL of them or they would’ve have made it. LOL
Most of them are reminiscent of Claire Huxtable. These are also the Black women who are found in corporate spaces.

That was basically Harris (yes I know she is mixed)! Point is America isn’t receptive to that. Whoever we have that is currently making waves, regardless of race or gender, is who we need to push to the front.

Corporate Dems are fukking up. This ain’t the time for polished ppl to fight against trash like Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc.

America chose THIS AAAAAAFTER Obama.

Dems ain’t reading the room.

Looks like she smartening up and pivoting back to Black folks.

Crockett said she will instead put her attention outside Capitol Hill and more on grassroots work around the country, particularly at Black churches. She named well-known ministers and civil rights activists like Revs. Al Sharpton, Jamal Bryant, and William Barber who have served as a “rock” and “foundation” for “mobilization and education” in Black communities.

Yeah and Jay Morrison, Umar, and Tariq are our friends too :stopitslime:
He said black woman

Which is unfair and unattainable. Even Phylicia Rashad herself didn’t live up to those standards. I guess it’s similar to the Tupac in a business suit trope.
its unfair and unattainable for a black woman to come off sharp ,classy and relatable? This post look crazy as hell .

Summer Lee and Shantel Brown both are young black women that lead subcommittees under house oversight.Ppl don’t know their names because they not out here trying to have a sassy moment go viral every two months ..It’s not impossible.

It’s impossible for Ms.Crockett because she built her brand on that type of shyt ..That’s what we know her for .Having some funny viral moment clapping back at someone….but how does that prove that she supposed to be a LEADER? Her act did a lot for virality and fundraising..But major leadership? Apparently that’s a hell no . Just like it was for AOC and she was far more broadly palatable

The level of straight c00n shyt in this thread is fukking disgusting. I ain't never seen so many grown ass men that never created their own opinion on anything involving their people, nikkas just follow what that c00n ass nikka Tariq tells them to do.

So e if y'all nikkas are so fukkin bytch made it's embarrassing.

Sane c00n ass nikkas that spent years saying that the Dems are the bad guys are now cosigning then weak ass mfers because it's against a fukkin black woman.

Clown ass nikkas
