Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) blew up during a Wednesday House hearing on the “Dismantle DEI Act,” yelling that there “has been no oppression for the white man in this country!”

The act was introduced by Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Rep. Mike Cloud (R-TX) in June to “ensure equal protection of the law” and to “prevent racism in the Federal Government.”

The bill aims to end the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in government agencies like the Department of Defense (DOD), Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as “public companies subject to [the] Civil Rights Act.”

During a House Oversight Committee markup on the bill, Crockett became enraged at Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) for using the word “oppression”:



“You consistently said over and over the word ‘oppression,’ and every time that you said it, it was almost as if I was hearing nails on a chalkboard because it seems like you don’t understand the definition of ‘oppression,” Crockett said, while gesturing at Higgins.

“And I’d ask you to just refer to Google to help you out,” she continued. “Oppression is the prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control. That is the definition of oppression.”

In using the Cambridge Dictionary’s definition of the term — “a situation in which people are governed in an unfair and cruel way and prevented from having opportunities and freedom” — one could make the argument that unfairly denying someone a government job or federally funded scholarship because he is a white man could qualify as “oppression.”

Crockett continued, “And so, as I sit here as a black woman who practiced civil rights, let me tell you the reason that my colleagues wanted to make sure you understood the same black history that your side of the aisle wants to delete out of classrooms is because you can then misuse words like ‘oppression.’”

“There has been no oppression for the white man in this country,” she yelled, with her finger wagging in their air.

“You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that ‘you are going to go to work. We are going to steal your wives. We are going to rape your wives,'” the congresswoman loudly demanded.

“That didn’t happen. That is oppression,” Crockett said. “We didn’t ask to be here. We’re not the same migrants that y’all constantly come up against. We didn’t run away from home. We were stolen. So yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you want to sit here and act like… and don’t let it escape you that it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y’all are the ones being oppressed, that y’all are the ones that are being harmed. That’s not the definition of oppression. You tell me the prolonged, cruel or unjust treatment that you’ve had and we can have a conversation.”

Crockett handily won her reelection bid for Texas’s thirtieth congressional district after running unopposed by the Republican Party.

In an interview with Breitbart News, Rep. Cloud explained that the Dismantle DEI Act would rescind DEI-related executive orders in the government and close a number of DEI offices “throughout every single agency.”

“It prohibits federal funding for DEI activities. It ensures equal treatment,” Cloud said, before adding that “this is something we would love to see Trump sign.”

Feel free to go back to Africa.
Please go back to Africa! You’re going to love it!

Now that SheJac is dead, I was wondering who was going to campaign for her spot as dumbest member of congress. We have a contender.

Rome and Greece took slaves from all over Europe, including Celts, Gauls, Thracians and more. The Egyptians took slaves from a number of cultures and regions, including modern Greece or Turkey. The Egyptians themselves were mostly white, despite what modern black Americans would like to claim, and took and kept slaves from within their own culture. This is reflected in their artwork. Vikings enslaved people from across Europe, including Britons, Irish, and Slavs. The term slave is derived from "Slav," so guess what group was favored for that? Then there's the Barbary pirates who targeted Europe from Iceland to Italy (and even into Eastern Europe), taking and selling into slavery in North Africa and the Middle East a million plus people from the 16th to 19th century.

The Ottoman Empire had the Devshirme system, which conscripted Christian boys, primarily from the Balkans, to serve as janissaries (that's a whole sad horror story on it's own). Mamluks were enslaved boys from the Caucasus region, particularly Circassians, Georgians, and Armenians, often trained and used as soldiers.

Indentured servitude existed throughout colonial America. Men, women, and children from all over western Europe were exploited and essentially owned as property until they worked off their debt for portage to America. How long this took and how hard they were worked varied widely, but cruelty wasn't uncommon.

Ukrainians and Russians served as slaves for the Crimean Khanate, a Tatar state that stole people in raids they called "harvesting of the steppe." They were often sold to the Ottoman Empire.

Basically all of Europe was harvested for white slaves between the Soviet and Nazi regimes, untold millions for decades worked to death in camps that equaled or rivaled in cruelty and inhumanity anything I've heard or read from the Americas from the colonial period on up through to the Civil War.

That's just touching on some of the low hanging fruit and easy examples throughout the last couple millenia.

This mythology of "only black people were slaves" is fucking horseshit and it needs to end already. Name a major culture from before 1800 that didn't have slaves and prove it, I dare anyone, especially Ms. Crockett. The history is plain: white people were slaves long before the first African set foot in the Americas, and have been slaves in many parts of the world long after the Emancipation Proclamation.

To the idiot libs, slavery is EXCLUSIVELY limited to the United States from Plymouth Rock through the end of the US Civil War.

Never mind the Caribbean or South America, which had WAY more slaves than the American south during this same time frame. They don't care about historical truth - they ONLY care about perpetuating black victimhood.

These clowns are a broken record.

Was Crockett stolen from her homeland and brought here against her will, to be forced labor?

The closest she may get to that is if she is a direct descendant of slaves, which is unlikely actually. But if that is true, that was 200 years ago.

I saw this clip discussed on Gutfeld last night.
Tyrus had a good response.

I started working in the auto plants in 1969 and for years experienced the race card used as a form of oppression. Granted, some of the minorities were miss treated but the race card was abused greatly.
The unions & management found it easier to just go along then to be fair to everyone.

Since she is so passionate about this oppression, someone should ask her why she is a member of the party that was largely responsible for it.

Tell that to my Scotsman ancestor who was a Jacobite and fought against King George.

Part of the survivors of the losing side at the Battle of Culloden, he was given a choice:

The gallows;

or

Exile to the colonies, having "given up" everything he owned, including his family.

I'm gonna take a guess that history was not her strongest subject in school nor, is she familiar at any level with world history.

Quick check of her bio, original from St.Louis, studied law at Univ of Houston and took up lots of BLM cases, elected to the House in 2022.

if she wants to find out what oppression is really all about, I'm sure we could find a few million people ready to take their turns at oppressing her

twunt

These people are terrified that their race card will lose it's effectiveness . It has worked so well for decades.

Viva vanilla wafers.

There is something that just seems wrong about “Texas Democrat Rep. …”. One expects that kind of silliness in blue states, but Texas ought to be immune.

I guess the Irish weren’t white then

Tell that to the western pioneers savagely attacked by Comanche Apache etc.
She clearly is a racist.

sig 2340: These were my ancestor's also.

Can’t seem to forget the amount of “white Hispanics” that are currently being trafficked right now from central and South America. And people in Crocketts party has been facilitating and profiting from this oppression for years. Weird.

Remember that during Trayvon Martin, Hispanics were “white” for the purposes of the narrative the left was pushing.

Good time to remind them of this.
