Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) speaks at Netroots Nation conference on Saturday: "I don't want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don't even show up because we need you to represent that voice."
So there it is, in the open, not even trying to be nonchalant or give fine hints. Plain as the pimple on a snowflake, racism at it's higher level...in your elected government official. Now I do believe we have a blatant case of violation of the civil rights of all those people she was referring to-you know, the "worried about being marginalized and stereotyped" ones, as they also have the right to show up to participate in politics and run for public office and speak at a town hall and.....oooooh, how can you all stand it? How can anyone call themselves an American and think and talk like that?
Vote her out! Send her home to her civilian life!
