If you're wondering how renowned speaker and deep thinker Jasmine Crockett manages to stay in Congress despite all the racism and oppression she faces as a black woman, it's because she "taps into the blood of the ancestors" to overcome the struggle.
At least, that's what she told the crowd at Tougaloo College, a historically black university in Mississippi, where she tailored her accent and vernacular from the polished professional to her now-infamous urban drawl to complain about her struggles as a...er...lawyer who became a lawmaker.
“The reason that I say that life for me ain’t never been no crystal stair because it’s the reality of what it is to be black in America. It’s the reality that we’ve always faced as black people in America,” said the law graduate-turned-attorney-turned congresswoman who makes $174,000 a year, plus perks.

“When people ask me ‘Why do you do this job?’ It’s because I tap into the blood of the ancestors,” she rambled on.

Please don’t ask me to interpret that. Sounds like some weird voodoo mess, to me.
“And listen, I didn’t go to an HBCU for undergrad. So let me tell you, I didn’t get to sit in classrooms or sit on the ground, where I know there are plenty of people that had to plan to protect not only their present, but to protect their future,” Crockett continued.
If that’s a future where a black man can become president, where black Americans can start businesses and run companies and sit on the Supreme Court and get elected to the U.S. House of Representatives even when they have the IQ of a refrigerator, that would be now.
But sure, congresswoman. Tell me all about your oppression. You’ve got nothing but time, paid for with my tax dollars.
