Alexandria Ocasio Cortez says she is an "Descendant of African Slaves"...as well as other things

[Clark Griswold]

A lot of the white Puerto Ricans have African ancestry. She never said she was black, she said she has African ancestry.

“Peep game”...

 

[The M.I.C.]

Something about her rubs me the wrong way. I want to like her but I know deep down something is off.

Same.

Pelosi and Clinton are not big fans of hers. AT ALL.

 

[Samori Toure]

Well she is Puerto Rican.

Puerto Rico did not become a possession of the USA until after slavery had ended in the USA. So she is not an African American.

 

[Tom Foolery]

American Politics is the best show on television.

I think I know what you mean.

Usually get the same feeling white liberals who you agree with on some issues, but they still have that sort of arrogant know-it-all/knows whats best for everyone vibe that just throws you off...

 

[George's Dilemma]

everybody is going to claim that nikka lurking in the family tree when those reparations hit

If I live long enough to see white folks going from "I'm a quarter native American Indian" which is where I get my dark eyes from, to, "on my mother's side of the family, her great great grandmother was a slave"

What a time to be alive.

 

[General Mills]

The audacity of Op talking about anybody’s race when he admitted he Lied about his race

 

[southern.girl]

And this is why AADOS needs to be defined by 2 AADOS parents & 2 sets of AADOS grandparents. This is a clear set up. This is ridiculous.

 

[GreatestLaker]

Puerto Rico did not become a possession of the USA until after slavery had ended in the USA. So she is not an African American.

nikka are you dumb? Where did I or her say she is AA.

Slavery existed in PR and in the rest of the Caribbean dumbass.

 

[dj-method-x]

I mean, she probably is. But she's probably also descended from the slaveowners

alot of blacks are descendant from slave owners too. Lights skinned brehs didn't just come outta no where.

 

[ultraflexed]

I like how she said she’s a descendant of African slaves, indigenous people, and Spanish colonizers. Then she said it doesn’t mean she’s black or native. Does that make her a Spaniard?

It makes her PR

This topic is way over your head breh

 

[dj-method-x]

Same.

Pelosi and Clinton are not big fans of hers. AT ALL.

The fact that Pelosi and Clinton don't like her makes me like her even more.

 

[Captain Crunch]

A lot of the white Puerto Ricans have African ancestry. She never said she was black, she said she has African ancestry.

We know breh, but she knew what she was doing.

She said she descended from slaves, so when reparations happen, she and other Latinos can try to lay claim to it.

 

[Burned Verses]

Same.

Pelosi and Clinton are not big fans of hers. AT ALL.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

 

[ultraflexed]

Ocasio Cortez is channeling her inner Elizabeth Warren.

She never said she black
Research the history of PR, most of are mixed with black
