Democrats love photo ops. That can be said about all politicians, but Democrats in particular are keen to get involved in symbolism and fanfare whenever possible. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is a master of producing photogenic moments for the press to fawn over, but her latest attempt to virtue signal in response to George Floyd’s murder appears to include a major misstep that would be comical if it weren’t so sad.
The Kente cloth stoles she and her fellow Democrats wore during their eight-minute kneeling ceremony (socially distanced, of course) have an ironic history as it pertains to this moment. In modern times, they are considered to be a sign of affluence as the colorful woven scarves are often more expensive than their normal counterparts. Most are prints which are more affordable, but the woven scarves the Democrats chose to wore weren’t cheap. But it’s in their historical significance that we see the real faux pas manifest
These scarves were traditionally worn by the wealthy land-owners and dignitaries of the Ashanti (or Asante) tribes of what is now known as Ghana. They were made of silk, making them not only rare but also symbolic of wealth. More importantly, they were adorned by those who were involved in the pervasive slave trade the wealthy of the Ashanti tribe embraced.
You read that right. The elite in the Ashanti tribe who wore these stoles throughout history were slave owners and even slave traders. They were a scourge throughout the reason, taking people from tribes they would conquer and selling them as slaves.

bump
Pelosi knows better as she visited Ghana in 2019.
She also knows that it is a shallow symbol for shallow (white) people to consume meaning nothing more than Africa.
Another Pelosi stunt that backfired.
Can we strike her from our history books?
I always just thought it was African camo.
Since they just wore the symbol of an infamous slave trading group, I suspect this will hurt a bit.
But, hey, with their voters, they could wear Stars & Bars Confederate flags and still claim they own the black vote.
Was Kunte Kinte worth $200 million?
Where’s that fat Nadler standing and playing with himself?
Stupid Dems wore the same scarves that adorned Ashanti Ghanans who were involved in the pervasive slave trade......of their own people.
The elite Ashanti tribe throughout history were slave owners.......and profited from the slave trade.
The Kente-wearing Ashanti were a scourge, waging war on fellow tribesmen then taking people from the tribes they conquered.......selling them as slaves and profiting handsomely.
Since he didn’t exist, I suppose not.
That entire story was not only complete fiction, it was plagiarized fiction.
Mombasa Moonbats
But then, you wouldn't have Democrats that still support Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama, eh?
In fairness to Nadler, Jews aren’t supposed to kneel (e.g., Book of Esther).
Perhaps he was suddenly observant.
But it’s probably because he is a fat piece of lard.
and waiting...
and waiting...
Jessie Waters should ask them “What was the message you were trying to send when wearing the symbol of the Ashanti, the notorious African slave owners and traders?”
