Overview:
When an anti-DEI bill came up for discussion, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) pushed back hard, decrying the notion that white men are oppressed as the bill claimed.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett is known for dropping truth bombs on the floor of the House of Representatives. Unafraid and unbossed, Crockett is especially on target when her colleagues show ignorance of Black history, or start talking about how white men are oh-so-oppressed in America.
So on Wednesday, when her Republican colleagues held a hearing on a GOP-sponsored bill that would dismantle workplace diversity, equity and inclusion programs — to, you know, stop the white-man oppression — it was bombs away for Crockett, a two-term Texas Democrat.
“There has been no oppression for the white man in this country,” she declared in a fiery, nearly two-minute speech. “You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them was dragged across an ocean and told they were going to work, have their wives stolen, and have their wives raped. That didn’t happen. That is oppression.”
Crockett pointed out that Republicans are constantly trying to erase Black history from school textbooks. They want to keep American schoolchildren in the dark, she says, so they “can then misuse words like oppression” — just like her House colleagues were doing at that moment.
