Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) exploded during Wednesday's House hearing on the DEI Dismantling Act, exclaiming, “White oppression has no place in this country!”
of activity The system was created in June by U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and U.S. Rep. Mike Cloud to “ensure equal protection of the laws” and “prevent racial discrimination in the federal government.” Introduced by Rep. (R-Texas).
The bill aims to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in government agencies such as the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and “regulated public companies.” I am. [the] civil rights law. ”
During the House Oversight Committee's vote on the bill, Crockett was furious that Rep. Clay Higgins (R-Louisiana) used the word “suppression.”
“You consistently said the word ‘oppression’ over and over again, and every time you said it it was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. I don't think you understand the definition,'' said Mr. Crockett, gesturing to Higgins.
“Then I would like to contact Google and ask them to help me,” she continued. “Oppression is long-term cruel or unjust treatment or domination. That's the definition of oppression.”
When using the Cambridge Dictionary, meaning The term “a situation in which people are governed in an unjust and cruel manner, and their opportunities and freedoms are precluded'' means that they cannot be unfairly denied government jobs or federally funded scholarships because they are white. , some may argue that they may be unfairly rejected. It corresponds to “oppression”.
Mr. Crockett continued. “As I sit here as a Black woman who practiced civil rights, I want to share with you why my colleagues wanted you to understand the same Black history that your side of the aisle is trying to erase. Because words like “oppression'' can be misused in the classroom.

So, yeah, we sit here and we get pissed if you want to sit here and act like… and the white people on this side of the aisle Don't miss that men are telling us that on this side of the aisle, you're all oppressed, you're all being harmed. That's not the definition of oppression. If you tell us about the long-term, cruel, or unjust treatment you suffered, we can talk about it.”
Crockett ran unopposed by Republicans and easily won re-election in Texas' 30th Congressional District.
in interview Congressman Cloud explained on Breitbart News that the DEI Dismantling Act would rescind the government's DEI-related executive orders and close many DEI offices “across every agency.”
“It prohibits federal funding for DEI activities, which ensures equal treatment,” Cloud said, adding, “We hope President Trump signs this.” Ta.
