Its exactly what she meant. What else does "We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice" mean? What, she decides what a "black voice" is? Who the fuck appointed her as the spokesperson for all black people?

She wasn't speaking for all black people. She was talking about liberal candidates (presumably those of color) to run in primary races against Democratic incumbents.

Uncle Tom's need not apply. RACIST AF.

Can you show me where she said liberal blacks? She said a black voice, as in all blacks.

Here are her comments. She was saying that new people coming into Congress need to have the courage of their convictions and not just go along to get along. She's saying that if you're a minority member stand up for your beliefs and speak truth to power. Her comments weren't about all minorities in general. She took this shot at the CBC because they're worried about new liberal members of Congress making waves. I don't see how this is any different from what trump asks of his supporters.

"Justice Democrats, a political action committee founded by Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, has been backing several liberal candidates to run in primary races against Democratic incumbents, a fact that has alarmed the Congressional Black Caucus, among others.

During a panel discussion at the Netroots Nation convention in Philadelphia, Rep. Ayanna Pressley took a shot at the CBC. "I don’t want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office," the Massachusetts Democrat said on Saturday. "If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice.

"We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice," she said. "We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don’t even show up because we need you to represent that voice."

I posted her comments in 130. It looks like an intra-party squabble to me.

"The Congressional Black Caucus has raised concerns that the Justice Democrats are targeting veteran black members of Congress to primary ahead of the 2020 elections, as they have confirmed they are backing primary challenger to 10-term veteran and CBC member Rep. William Lacy Clay of Missouri and have also raised the possibility of challenging New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who serves as the Democratic Caucus chairman. Justice Democrats successfully backed Ocasio-Cortez in her 2018 primary challenge to Joe Crowley, who had been in Congress for 20 years and was the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus."

Yes, & I don't see how that can change-reaching the same conclusions coming from different experiences... :dunno: Either of their observations could be correct or totally wrong for all we know.........

Perhaps one of them has an allergy to the tons of cologne some ppl wear, one of the had an accident & didn't want anyone to smell it, so on, so on, :blah:

I walk around in my neighborhood all the time...... If there is women, I always walk around, or even cross the street, as I am just randomly wandering anyway..

Dog, wheelchair, a couple etc etc etc.......

I would guess you could project motives on to ppl, I doubt you'd be right very often...

my point was that its often a persons demeaner that you can read


reading human emotions is not projecting motives


Its non verbal communication

been around as long as mankind


its real


Im sorry I said it in such a way that offended you


that was not my intent
