Jackson Lee: Institutional Racism, Systemic Racism 'Taints and Spoils' the Way America Treats Minorities

...the clownish U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She is noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...

Jackson Lee blamed institutional and systemic racism for some of the difficulties facing the nation’s minorities.

"Institutional racism and systemic racism taints and spoils the way that America treats, in one instance, African Americans and other instances minorities," she said. "So, there are aspects of America’s laws, America’s structure as relates to the black community in particular and other communities that is racist. There are — certainly, what the president said is accurate about the American people, that the American people, I think, have called to goodness. That’s where they want to be."

"They want to be in a nation that respects all people," Jackson Lee continued. "But our system is such that it then allows Americans, people, to act in instances in a racist manner. And I believe that it is important to call that out and to be able to find ways that we can learn more about each other. And, as you well know, I’m carrying the bill H.R. 40, the commission to study and develop reparation proposals. That study, that commission will be open to all ideas for people to hear the history, understand the history, and I think we will get to a better place. But yes, action by America and actions by people in America have been racist."

#3 Congresswoman, you are a part of the institution that keeps fostering the notion of institutional racism. This must be lucrative in terms of power and money.

#2 French Huguenot vineyard and cattle farmer Pieter Mauritz Retief thought he understand Zulu. Retief was on the move North, away from the thieving Xhosa and a British government that offered them no protection, to a more peaceful place and better lands.

Retief was informed by Zulu Chief Dingane that he would meet with him and his men... 'only if they were unarmed'. The treaty payments were made, and passage rights had been signed. It was to be a celebration. It did not end well for Retief in 1838. It seems it seldom ends well for anyone.

There appears to be something of a pattern that nearly 200 years simply cannot erase. Jou swart geweer is jou vriend (your black rifle is your friend), keep it close at hand.

#1 and to be able to find ways that we can learn more about each other.

We all think Americans should've have learnt enough by now.
