Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Said One of the Most Racist Things You’ll Ever Hear
Marjorie Taylor Greene has a premise with which she starts. Okay? Black people are sorry and lazy ass people, got it?
But, Marjorie is no racist, not in the least, because she knows white people that are just as sorry and lazy, some even more, than… black people. Again, she is no racist, say it again, Marj. Soime white people are even worse.
The order matters.
Because in the clip below, Marjorie makes it clear that she knows of many sorry and lazy white people who are “probably worse than many black people she knows.”
I have made some similar comments: “I know some sorry-ass lazy people. Sometimes, I even fit that description, sometimes not. But I definitely know some sorry-ass lazy people.” It is a very similar comment, conveying something entirely different. I don’t divide the world’s people as black and white, at least not when it comes to personal generalizations. I also know some of the hardest working, most earnest, well-spoken, and generous people on the face of the earth. I don’t need to add “black people.” Because people are people.

“I know a ton of white people that are as lazy and sorry and probably worse than back people I know.”

And now Marjorie says that she’s not a racist because she knows white people that are more sorry and lazy than black people.
Fortunately, Marjorie got some serious feedback:
Am sure she did not consult with DeSantis for this, why use race designators if she does not believe in CRT?
Did those white people vote for her? She knows them from where?— Honorable W.R. Iñigo 🇵🇷🇺🇦🇺🇲 (@Salsacola) February 14, 2023
“I’m not racist. I have plenty of white friends who are lazier losers than my lazy loser black friends.”

Wow… white people can be just as lazy as black people. 😳

Saying the quiet part out loud. This is horrific, yet totally not surprising

Marjorie's family tree doesn't even branch. Who is she to talk about anyone else?
