ME (talking with a political operative who shall remain nameless): “So I see The DFL houses committee assignments are out, and representative Rena Moran is the chair of the house ways and means committee“.
OPERATIVE: “Ha ha. That’s pretty funny. “
ME: “No – I’m serious. Rena Moran. Chair of Ways and Means.”
OPERATIVE: “…”
ME: “ I know, right?“
Rena Moran: “Now, it’s time for the rest of the Legislature to follow through on these important recommendations to help Black, Indigenous, and People of Color live healthy, safe, and prosperous lives full of opportunity to reach their full potential.”
Isn’t racism, as defined by progressives, ‘prejudice + power’?
Moran has more power than 99% of white Minnesotans.
She couldn’t have said “Now, it’s time for the rest of the Legislature to follow through on these important recommendations to help all Minnesotans live healthy, safe, and prosperous lives full of opportunity to reach their full potential.”
If she had, progressives would have crucified her. The stated aim of the people who believe in this creation of the imagination called “systemic racism” is that the political state must treat citizens differently based on their perceived race.
The DFL pretty much runs everything in this state. It seems odd that “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color [are prevented from living] healthy, safe, and prosperous lives full of opportunity to reach their full potential”?
I’m not laughing either. Since I don’t suffer in the central core of the Twin Cities, the identity of its politicians escapes my attention much of the time. I looked over Rep Moran’s history and checked a couple of videos. First point, superficially, when she ran for office she had conventional straightened AA hair. Now she’s got that woke, braided look. Got to give her credit, overcoming a crappy upbringing in Chicago, moving to St Paul where the grass and benefits are greener, getting a degree, and learning how to work the system in every respect of the phrase. Ways and Means is a very powerful committee. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
What jdm says. Where most poor blacks live, the left runs things, and life sucks. One would figure that people would put two and two together and figure out that there’s a reason for that correlation, but apparently not.
Regarding Moran specifically, she is presumably one of the class of politicians that the late Walter Williams called “race hustling poverty pimps.” She knows what side her bread is buttered on, and unfortunately it’s not on the side of “doing well for her own people, nor the people of the state.” We can only pray for a crisis of conscience here.
