[B]ecause the ancestors of white Americans have never been enslaved, whites can never know what true oppression is. So argued Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) at a recent hearing on DEI (“diversity, equity, and inclusion”). At one point she yelled out:
You tell me which white man was dragged out of their homes!
You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you’re gunna go to work! We’re gunna steal your wives—we’re gunna rape your wives. That didn’t happen—that is oppression!
Such statements reveal a staggering level of ignorance. Untold millions of white people have been enslaved, raped, and forced into labor since well before recorded history. And not a few of their enslavers were non-whites.
