Rashida Tlaib Gets Heated After Questioning Bank Execs On 'Environmental Racism' | |
2021-06-04 | |
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Rep. Rashida Tlaib
Boom BoomOcasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... who constantly pushes for a massive multi-trillion ’Green New Deal.’ Tlaib’s bank questioning appears to be a precursor to introducing regulation to micromanage which companies get loans. "Are you familiar with the term environmental racism?" Tlaib went around asking different bank executives from Chase Bank, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Well Fargo. The Michigan representative became frustrated after she learned that most of the executives did not know what environmental racism was or very familiar with it. "I want you all to know environmental racism showed its face in a deadly way during the pandemic in my district, where more of my black neighbors died at a higher rate from COVID than any other community in Michigan, even though our black population in Michigan is less than 15 percent. The preexisting health conditions that come from living in the backyard of corporate polluters financed by your banks," the representative stated. "When it comes to racial justice, I see many of you having these commitments to just diversify your executive ranks. Good. But I think the American people really, truly want to know, what about the actions that are needed to invest in our communities like mine that you all profited off of that left us with more pollution, decay, and poverty. You all should know and be familiar with the term environmental racism, because for generations, black, brown, indigenous communities have seen the fossil fuel corporations use your banks to finance and construct oil and gas refineries, petrochemical plants and pipeline projects," Tlaib continued Related: Rashida Tlaib: 2021-05-31 Police chief in Michigan apologizes for liking pro-Israel Facebook post Rashida Tlaib: 2021-05-23 NYC principal under fire for email imploring staff to support Palestinians Rashida Tlaib: 2021-05-22 New York's pro-Israel Dems bullied into silence by AOC, Jewish activists say | |

#8 Who told you Tlaib has Wakandan neighbors? Half her district is in the city of Detroit, g(r)omgoru, so it’s a reasonable assumption that the honourable Representative has African-American constituents, if not next-door neighbours. |

#3 Haram is an Arabic term meaning ‘forbidden'. This may refer to: either something sacred to which access is forbidden to the people who are not in a state of purity or who are not initiated into the sacred knowledge; or, in direct contrast, to an evil and thus "sinful action that is forbidden to be done". |

#1 Hey, stupid beastie: your Wakandan neighbors' main comorbidity is obesity, not lead poisoning. A condition you and your swarthier girlfriends are grossly (pun intended) familiar with. We Are Ruled By Morons |
