This may be the moment that political life starts to turn to crap for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Richard Baehr observes, “Criticism from conservatives attacking AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley wash off them. But when the Congressional Black Caucus goes after them and Pelsoi gets ticked off at them, then they will be marginalized.”
The tyro pol who lives and breathes identity politics got too wrapped up in her self-righteousness. Scott Wong reports in The Hill:
Congressional Black Caucus members are furious at Justice Democrats, accusing the outside progressive group aligned with firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) of trying to oust lawmakers of color, specifically African-American lawmakers.
Justice Democrats is backing primary challengers to eight-term Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), a Hispanic Caucus member, and 10-term Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). The insurgent group also made noise this year about challenging Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), a CBC member seen as the heir apparent to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
And CBC leaders are fretting that Justice Democrats may target other black lawmakers in the coming weeks and months, including Reps. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), Emanual Cleaver (D-Mo.) and Anthony Brown (D-Md.). Brown said the group has been making calls in his district, actively trying to recruit a challenger to run against him.

But, but, but, Almost Occasionally Cognizant says she’s a woman of color.......
The CBC declares that the social justice movement will tip over and sink under the weight of all that heavy thought.
The Justice Democrats, warped though they may be, see themselves as reformers.
The CBC is intractably corrupt.
This conflict was inevitable.
“Congressional Black Caucus members are furious at Justice Democrats, accusing the outside progressive group aligned with firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) of trying to oust lawmakers of color, specifically African-American lawmakers.”
I put forth that the term “...of color” be stricken from the lexicon. Furthermore I will entirely dismiss anyone using that term. Nobody cares about your damn color. Culture? That’s another thing.
“Black Caucus Privilege” card alert!
[I put forth that the term “...of color” be stricken from the lexicon.]
I thought referencing someone as “colored” was racist?? Am I missing something??
Why is this News?? Blacks and Latino’s have hated each other since forever, just go by any Public School in Los Angeles and witness the Race Wars for yourself that happen on a Daily basis.
The CBC see themselves as the nobility, you better not mess with their rice bowl. The corruption trough is theirs and they are going to keep it.
The noobs need to be taught to hold on to the trump card until just the right minute. Don’t always lead with the trump card!
It’s a subtle thing, but the rule is:
To say “colored people” is racist and bigoted.
To say “people of color” is approved of by the PC language police.
It’s subtle, but that’s the current rule.
Also, in the past “colored people” meant black. Nowadays, “people of color” can refer to any non-white people. So people such as Ocasio-Cortez, of Puerto Rican background, can claim to be people of color.
Bump
Both communities are heavily dependent upon governmental welfare payments. There is simply not enough welfare resources to go around and the numbers are getting so bad it’s become a zero sum game - for every thing one community gets, another loses
Since the illegal aliens are considered the future on the Democrat Party they are being catered to and bring sent to the front of the line when it comes to housing and handouts. Blacks are being taken for granted and are being sent to the back of the bus by Democrats.
It’s only a matter of time before Black votes are replaced by Hispanic votes. At that point, Blacks will no longer be needed by Democrats and they will go from riding in the back of the bus to being thrown under the bus.
This is already happening in the political power structure as Blacks are being displaced and it’s also happening on the ground in California where Hispanic La Raza politics are taking over communities and Blacks are learning the meaning of “ Por la Raza, todas. Por los otros, NADA” , and that blacks are los otros.
The CBC is intractably corrupt.
This conflict was inevitable.
Yeah, CBC corruption wasn't helping the Justice Democrats.
... it’s just a flesh wound...
Ah, the Socislist vs the Just Us, a tiff of Titans in their own minds, a civil war on the Left.
The newbies are still outclassed.
“Justice Democrats?” That’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one!
