Why the Democrats' Moment of Silence for George Floyd Today Should Horrify Black Voters

If you’re a Democrat and support the latest police reform bill, that makes you black. This appears to be a trend. Former Vice President Joe Biden was quite clear when he told New York City radio host Charlemagne tha God that if black people don’t support him in the 2020 election, they “ain’t black.†He then blamed other people for not getting his joke. It was cringe-worthy.
Now, to ensure that black voters don’t leave them, congressional Democrats, quarterbacked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, decided to have a moment of silence for George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed in Minneapolis on May 25 after being placed under arrest by the police. The act is fine, the attire was not. The group, mostly white, wore Kente cloth. It’s traditional Africa garb, which these clowns had no business wearing. It was a sad and pathetic exercise in pandering, and oh yes—black voters noticed. Pro-life activistObianuju Ekeochat took to Twitter to vent her dismay (via Fox News):
Excuse me, Democrats," she continued. "Don't treat Africans like we're children. These fabrics and these colorful things that we have within our culture and tradition, they all mean something to us. I know you look at us and you say, 'Oh, Africans are so cute in all of your colorful dresses.' Well, some of those dresses and patterns and colors and fabrics actually do mean something to us."
Ekeocha went on to ask why Democrats were using the cloth for their "own show of non-racism."

Frederick Joseph, a former surrogate for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., laid out a series of criticisms for Democrats. He took special aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who knelt in the Capitol Visitor Center while wearing the cloth.
