The Anniversary of Bad Built Butch Body - Honorable Jasmine Crockett

[JustAnotherGen]

I posted this in the AfAm group last year. Let us join together and rejoice in her ability to verbally slap the chitlins out of someone's mouth WITHOUT directly attacking them.

Behold and rejoice.

In her defense - she did NOT call that little snot MTG a "Bleach blonde, bad built butch body.

Mr. Comer said an insult of appearance did not violate house rules.

She was asking a fair question.

Mr Comer said that Ms Greene’s insult ultimately did not violate House rules, leaving Ms Crockett scratching her head at the rulings.

“If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blond, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?” she asked the chairman.

Her question was met with confusion from Mr Comer. “Uh, what now?” he asked.

Mr. Comer should have behaved as a gentleman and defended Representative Crockett - clearly stating that MTSnotface was out of order.

Maybe he was drunk - which is why he allowed that insult to stand.

He then didn't seem to understand the question Rep Crockett asked.

All she did was ask a question with context (bbbb).

I can't possibly be the only black woman at DU who has been put in uncomfortable positions while engaging in her work. For Gen X - people snidely called us arrogant. Our mothers, and aunts were called uppity.

Something that hits me? There seems to be this dominant culture belief that Rep Crockett should have "taken it".

Nope - no more. We aren't our grandmother's. You insult one of us - you insult us all. Dear Dominant Culture America - You are on notice.
