It’s outrageous that during a House hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) launched into an inflammatory rant, targeting white Americans with her divisive rhetoric. She had the audacity to dismiss their experiences, claiming they have no right to use the term “oppression” due to their racial background. This is just another example of Democrats trying to diminish the voices of Americans who don’t fit their narrative.
Crockett arrogantly declared that white men in America cannot claim “oppression” because they haven’t endured what African Americans have historically faced, such as being “dragged all the way across an ocean,” subjected to slavery, or systemic brutality. This kind of rhetoric only serves to further divide our nation.
People like Jasmine Crockett are a cancer to American society. All of these people are THRILLED they don’t live in Africa and know this is the greatest country in the history of the world, but they’ll still pretend to be victims.

“There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes,” said Crockett. “You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that, ‘you are going to go and work, we are going to steal your wives. We are going to rape your wives.’ That didn’t happen.”
Such statements are not only misleading but also seek to erase the legitimate struggles faced by many Americans today. Crockett CLEALY hasn’t heard about the Irish slaves….but I digress.

Really? My heritage is Irish. For years and years when my people came to this Country there were signs everywhere “Irish need not apply”. This is my heritage you ignorant Jasmine Crockett! Shame on you for your Lies and propaganda ‼️ pic.twitter.com/23kqSxodGJ— GinnyM 🇺🇸🙏✝️ TRUMP WON – KARI LAKE WON (@PatriotXV11) November 20, 2024
Crockett continued her tirade, stating, “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.”
Her rhetoric took a blatantly partisan turn when she accused white Republican lawmakers of exploiting the concept of oppression for political gain. “Don’t let it escape you,” she said, “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.” It’s clear that Democrats like Crockett are more interested in playing identity politics than addressing real issues.
Earlier this month, Crockett managed to secure her reelection to a U.S. House seat from Texas. As a former public defender and civil rights attorney, she won her second term representing a district that includes parts of Dallas and its neighboring suburbs. It’s disappointing to see such divisive figures continue to hold office while pushing agendas that do not serve all Americans equally.
