and I can tell you from personal experience that a pissed-off Italian woman is Mother Teresa compared to a justifiably pissed off black woman. They could break bones with words, and peel the hide off an alligator with just a body posture.
We knew which moms to cross, and which were never to be crossed.
Not race.. culture.

I've dated some Black ladies, and admired their forthrightness.
One conversation a couple of years ago:
Me-"What do you want to do tonight?"
Mary A.: "I have tickets to hear Leo Kottke. Dinner first. Meet me at 7:00. Cleaned up, in a suit and sober."
Me: "I don't drink."
Mary A.: "Just making sure. I can always give the other ticket away."
Me: "Your wish is my command."

Crockett is impressive.

>>Jasmine Felicia Crockett (born March 29, 1981) is an American lawyer and politician who is the U.S. representative from Texas's 30th congressional district since 2023. Her district covers most of South Dallas County and parts of Tarrant County, including Dallas Love Field Airport. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously represented the 100th district in the Texas House of Representatives.

In the 118th Congress, Crockett serves as the Democratic freshman class representative between the House Democratic leadership and the approximately 35 newly elected Democratic members.[1]


Here is what Crockett is doing in Congress:

I would go to places like that and exclaim loudly how great our Democrat was. I got alerted a lot.

The RWNJ have a grapevine that alerts their members to any good news so they can gang up and try to change the subject.
