Back in the dim mists of time, Texas Democrats could boast Barbara Jordan as a congressman. Though wrong about just about everything, Jordan was bright, articulate, and a well-spoken advocate for her point of view.
Since then, “bright, articulate and well-spoken” have not been adjectives generally ascribed to the black female members of the Texas Democratic delegation to the United States House of Representative. Indeed, when they drew attention to themselves, it was usually because they had just said something cringingly stupid, be it Sheila Jackson Lee opining on the moon’s atmosphere or Eddie Bernice Johnson denying the Armenian genocide or engaging in election denial in 2000 or 2004.
Both Lee and Johnson have passed from office (and this veil of tears), but Johnson’s successor in the Texas’s 30th congressional district, Jasmine Crocket, is carrying on the long tradition of stupidity, this time by saying the quit part out loud of what Democrats actually think about Hispanic voters.
One of the most consistent elements of the identity politics practiced by the left is its selectivity. Whether in politics or higher education, the outrage that comes from allegedly racist or insensitive comments is confined to targets on the right.
A case in point is the deafening silence after a diatribe by Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, during which she accused Hispanic voters of having a “slave mentality” and said that they “can barely vote.”
There was no vaporous segment on The View or condemnations on the floor from members.
Crockett has been celebrated in left-wing publications such as Vanity Fair for schooling her colleagues, which she describes as “old as sh*t.”
She offered Vanity Fair her “distilled summary of what happens within the Latino community.” Not surprisingly, it is identity politics with a race edge:
“I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of ‘illegals,’ they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane.”
“It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them. I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote that are having this kind of attitude.”
The attack on Hispanic voters as including people who “literally just got here and can barely vote” did not even generate objections from many Democratic Hispanic groups. Imagine if Trump or a conservative commentator made this comment.
The idea that the Hispanic voters in her own south Dallas district (which is 36% Hispanic) might be negatively impacted by the massive influx of illegal aliens under Biden, given that they drive wages lower and both housing costs and crime higher, never seems to occur to Crockett. Instead, they have to be condemned as “stupid” for failing to do the will of the Social Justice Warrior-infected Democratic Party.
The 30th is the bluest U.S. House District in Texas, so if Hispanic voters in her district want to retire Crockett, they’re probably going to need to back a primary challenge to her…

This is yet another example of just how incompetent our so-called “elites” really are.
They’ve lived with this fantasy idea that the “downtrodden Hispanic” is somehow automatically going to be on their side. This is a construction of their own minds, and like most of their ideas, has never been actually examined out in the harsh light of reality.
This is why you don’t elect leftists; the majority of that ilk are people who live in a fantasy world, and who’re incapable of observing reality and responding to those observations rationally. Leftism is literally a mental dysfunction/illness, wherein the people drawn to that are prone to building these vast cloud-castles of unreality inside their heads, and then behave as though that set of make-believe things are actually realities that they can act on, and which they can count on being real.
Which is also why they’re so prone to reacting viciously when reality and other people contradict them by not conforming to their ideations. You’re not just a bad person for voting for your interests in their mindset, you’re actually actively evil for contradicting their cherished heartfelt and entirely virtuous beliefs.
None of these assholes ever thought to go out and actually talk to the Hispanics in these communities, and ask them about their lives, or what they thought. It’s all projection, all the way down.
And, you’re a bad, bad human being for not doing as you’ve been instructed in their dreams. Dealing with the left is exactly like dealing with a woman whose hormone-driven insanity leads her to berating you for cheating on her… In her dreams. While you were laying next to her, in the same bed.
