Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was accused of making patronizing remarks on Friday when she used an accent to tell an audience of predominately black people that there is nothing wrong with them serving other people in low skilled jobs for their careers.
Quote:
Ocasio-Cortez's comments immediately sparked outrage as many accused her of racism, noting that her accent while speaking to black people was similar to how two-time failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would speak to black people — which was widely condemned as racist.
And you thought conservatives were racist. I don't care if you have tattoos, went to jail, used to worship the devil... as long as you act like a respectable person I'll treat you respect. What I don't like is the two culture Jekyl and Hyde personalities a lot of people have, and now you see even your revered AOC has it too.
It's an old sales technique, one that people today can see through. I'm surprised people still use it.
Sales technique? She's basically telling them she's not going to do a damn thing for any of them.
