Political Blackface

[Evmetro]

I saw this new term in a headline on Red State

Makes sense to me, after seeing the pics of Pelosi and the others wearing their African garb...

I think Nancy and the others doing this make them look transparent, clearly them doing so for the cameras and to seek attention and to seek favor from within the black community. But the black folks aren't falling for her and Biden's BS as much anymore. Nancy is such a fake beotch. In fact, if I was a black person, I would see it as an insult. But I don't pretend to know how a black person truly feels when they see things like this. I don't see it much different than cops washing feet, or one laying face down with his hands behind his back... Too many fake people out there performing actions for the cameras - folks who ain't done shit to help black folks before. Let ACTIONS show them, not pandering.

How long before Biden starts smoking newports?

I pointed out in several threads how many are waking up to much of the democrats transparent pandering and hypocrisy and non-stop lying. Folks saw through their long moment of silence aka attention whoring, wearing African cloths and making asses out of themselves.

Here is an example: (and it doesn't just feel racist, it IS racist, IMO, when they do stuff for attention without action)

Outrage at Democrats Wearing Kente Cloth During Moment of Silence: ‘So Woke It Actually Feels Racist’

Democrat lawmakers, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), are facing overwhelming backlash after opting to wear Kente cloth during their nearly nine-minute moment of silence in a show against police brutality. Many users across social media questioned their motives and blasted them for missing the mark.

Pelosi and fellow Democrat lawmakers, including Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), took a knee on Monday for eight minutes and 46 seconds as a show of solidarity with Americans protesting police brutality and remembering those who have died, including George Floyd, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin. Democrats could be seen kneeling in unison, with most wearing Kente cloth — a special fabric with deep and meaningful origins rooted in West Africa — in a seeming attempt to show further solidarity with the black community. Their attempt, however, appeared to many to fall flat.

“There is more Kente fabric in this picture than at a Ghanaian traditional wedding,” pro-life activist Obianuju Ekeocha said.

“The DC African-fabric shop is probably now sold out in order to meet the demand of this ridiculous tokenism by Democrat politicians. Dear Africans step aside! #CulturalAppropriation at its worst,” she continued, blasting Democrats for glossing over the importance of the fabric with the Ghanaian identity, specifically:

“Excuse me dear Democrats in your tokenism you didn’t wait to find out that this thing that you’re hanging around your neck is not just some African uniform,” she continued in a video response. “These fabrics … they all mean something to us”:

“The Democrats have no interest in black America. These fools think that because they put some Kente cloth on they’re going to get the black vote?” Errol Webber, Republican candidate for California’s 37th congressional district, said in part:

The symbolism, the colors, the crowds, the costumes, the pageantry! Where have I seen all of this before?

Oh well, National Socialists will be National Socialists.

Lefties see nothing wrong with wearing blackface, as long as they are the ones doing it.
