Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed why she feels it would be immoral for her to identify as a black woman despite the fact that she has African ancestry in an interview with MSNBC.
The powerful political figure was discussing Elizabeth Warren‘s claim that she is of Native American descent and how said claim may have hurt her chances of winning the Presidential election in 2020.
Cortez’ thoughts and feelings on all that and a wide range of issues below…
And i agree with her. I am 11% Irish but I'm not running around doing jigs and claiming that ancestry as my identity. The 1 drop rule was imposed by white supremacists– we should abandon that primative thinking.
