Rep. Pressley: We Need Many Laws to 'Affirm Once and for All that Black Lives Matter'
[BREITBART] Representative Ayanna Pressley
...bald-headed, large-mammaried Democrat representative from Massachussetts. A member of AOC's Mean Girl Squad, her primary concern seems to be her skin color now that she doesn't need her hair done. An out-and-out anti-Semite, Pressley is of the opinion that the nation needs Many Laws to ‘Affirm Once and for All that Black Lives Matter.’ She appears to be impervious to any concept of the tiger whose tail she so cheerfully yanks turning around and biting her, much less devouring her...
 (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s "Craig Melvin Reports" that politician’s work "to affirm once and for all that Black Lives Matter" must go beyond the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Pressley said, "Qualified immunity is an unjust doctrine that has been codified in statute after statute, that has allowed for law enforcement to operate with callous disregard for Black and brown bodies, with reckless impunity for our lives, without any consequences. George Floyd was brutally murdered. Why did that happen? It happened because we have to affirm the fact Black Lives Matter because our lives have not mattered. They have not been valued. There was no humanity, no grace extended or afforded to him. Black folks have been dehumanized.

"Consequently have been brutalized, surveyed, profiled, murdered, lynched," she contended.. "So what would be the deterrent to that? We have much work to do beyond one bill."

She continued, "There must be accountability, and we have to legislate that. We have got to keep the qualified immunity in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. It has to be maintained. It should not be watered down. it is one of the strongest and most important provisions of this bill. It’s how we’ll get to healing, and policies are the only receipts that matter in this moment, not hashtags and likes. What maters in this moment, is budget change and policy change."

Pressley added, "The work that we need to do of affirming the humanity of Black lives to think it wasn’t that long ago that saving Black Lives Matter was considered a controversial statement. If folks are tired of hearing it imagine how tired we are of having to say it. The fact is that Black Americans and other marginalized communities have experienced undue harm for centuries because of what I would characterize as policy violence, not naturally occurring, very precise policy. And so the path forward, if we are truly in the midst of a reckoning, which means that we are reconciling with who we have been and who we continue to be, then we will usher in transformative bold change. We will codify the value of Black lives in our policies and in our budgets, and that is not just one bill. So I hope that my colleagues have the political will, the courage and the stamina for the work that is really going to be necessary to assert and to affirm once and for all that Black Lives Matter and to give families the accountability and the healing that they deserve. I just want us to pass laws that are going to keep Black Americans and other marginalized communities alive, period. That is about making investments in communities to meet the most basic needs."

#4 you really have to pass a law to tell yourself and your ppl and everyone else that your lives matter? I'll be the asshole here and let everyone know they don't. Just like the rest of us.

#5 If it weren't for some black robed humanist fools in the 50s they'd all have been forcibly integrated, their cultural leanings suppressed and made properly disciplined citizens by now. Instead, this fantastic guilt was shoved down American throats for decades and absolute degenerates today have a free run of this once great country. Shows what really matters. Picking a fcuking side matters.

#6 "Matter"? Not to me. Not any longer.

I'm at the point where I don't give a f--k about these douchebags at all. Their lives clearly don't matter enough to them and their black neighbors for them not to nearly kill themselves -- with fentanyl overdoses, like Floyd, for example -- or to stop killing other blacks, as some 6,000 blacks do every year in this country.

The nonstop BS and outright lies of this movement that's a racket have put an end to any sympathy or good intentions I ever had toward these wretched savages.

At this point I just want them to STFU and go away. Go to Africa, Guyana, Darkest Detroit, and abandoned testing facility in New Mexico: I. don't. care. anymore. Just GO AWAY and stop f--king lying.
