LMAO: Fact-Checker Confirms Kente Cloths Worn By Pandering Dems Were Historically Worn By Slave Traders

[bripat9643]

You just have to laugh at these clueless Dims. Not only did their stupidity make them look like colossal hypocrites, but their thoughtless pandering brought a whole lot of unwanted attention to the origins of slavery:

LMAO: Fact-Checker Confirms Kente Cloths Worn By Pandering Dems Were Historically Worn By Slave Traders​

​

What a failure. Pelosi’s smug little pandering photo-op of taking a knee wound up on the wrong side of the racism issue.​

​

It was bad enough that the Democrats taking a dramatic orchestrated kneeling-in-support-of-George-Flynn opportunity to kneel had it blow up in their face a few different ways.​

​

Pelosi looked like the Medic Alert ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up’ lady.​

​

An actual African woman called them out for being condescending and using African garb to play dress-up when it suits them, having no interest in all about whose cultural icons they are co-opting for their political purposes. (Or, to use their own weaponized language: ‘culturally appropriating’.)​

​

Not very woke of them, is it?​

​

In having the Kente Cloths spotlit by her criticism of Democrat appropriation of them, people noticed a glaring point of conflict between the African garb the Democrats draped themselves in and the message they tried to send by kneeling.​

​

Of all the cultures in Africa they might have invoked, the Ashanti Tribe does not have the kind of history in a Black Lives Matters kneeling solidarity stunt. Here’s why:​

​

“Yesterday the Democrats wore kente scarfs and knelt down for their photo op. So check this out, Kente cloth was worn by the Ashanti. It’s made of silk so the affluent wore it. The Ashanti were also known as slave owners and traders. Huh?” Dave Brandon posted on Facebook June 9. “This makes me wonder why they chose to wear this particular tribe’s garb.” — USAToday​

​

The paper then gives some historical background, some of which includes the following…​

​

Tutu, who lived from 1660 to 1712 or 1717, unified several small Asante kingdoms to create the Asante empire. He is credited with expanding the Asante throughout most of Ghana and introducing his subjects to the gold and slave trades along the West African coast. The Asante supplied British and Dutch traders with slaves in exchange for firearms, which they used to expand their empire. Slaves were often acquired as tributes from smaller states or captured during war. Some slaves were brought across the Atlantic whiles others stayed in Africa to work in gold fields.​

that was a pretty phony photo opp......i just wonder how many people thought it was genuine....

 

[Moonglow]

Them old farts screwed that one up just like another old geezer violated people's civil rights by gassing a peaceful demonstration to get a photo op of the president holding a bible in front of what was supposed to be a church that was destroyed by fire.

It wasn't just phony, it was incredibly stupid. Dims just demonstrated their appalling ignorance about slavery.

Maybe the Democrats meant it as a tribute to Biden and Obama, since both of them had ancestors that were buying (and working) those slaves!!!

Not when they are not in the US.

BAHAHAHAAHA what a bunch of idiots. And the clown show continues with Pelosi taking down all the portraits of former Speakers with ties to the Confederacy. Will they be dynamiting Lincoln's statue next?

Obama used tear gas on people who weren't residents of the U.S?

You should quit while you're behind.

 

[Rambunctious]

Yep and that tribe sold slaves for guns so they could kill all of the female children and pregnant women of opposing tribes.....they would take the young men at gun point and sell them to Europeans.....Nancy couldn't of selected a more brutal tribe than that one.....

 

[BluesLegend]

Do Dems do anything that isn't a phony pre-scripted Dem/liberal news media team effort?

 

[my2¢]

It's just my nature to be uncomfortable seeing white folks adorning Kente cloths. I wouldn't wear one because I'd feel like I was muscling in on their culture and in their shoes I'd feel we've already had enough taken from us. Heck, I don't purposely wear green on St Patrick's Day for pretty much the same reason.

The democra party was the party of the slave owner and the slave trader.....why shouldn't they wear the traditional African slave trader garb?

and what happened at that park has zero to do with the topic of this thread. Duh

The dems wearing their little funky town scarves was a subliminal message to blacks that, if they don't vote for Biden, "THEY AIN'T BLACK." They must OBEY their MASSA.

 

[bripat9643]

Look at these fools. A couple of them are even black. They're honoring the people who enslaved their ancestors!
