Ocasio-Cortez switches her excuse to Code-Switching
This poor sap.
Sometimes it’s better just to take the “L,” and walk away.
But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ain’t wired that way.
After her “I talk like a black person whenever I’m fired up” excuse fell flat on its face, Alexandria decided to switch gears.
Clearly she watched Don Lemon defend her fake black accent on CNN Friday night.
“We’re talking about code-switching. I do it, we all do it. There is a difference between mocking someone and knowing your audience.” — @DonLemon

Because yesterday, Alexandria was all “Step off! I was code-switching! Yeah, yeah. That’s the ticket! I was code-switching!”
Code-switching is referenced a lot in pop culture. It was a big element in a major film last year: “Sorry To Bother You.”

If you’re confused about how code-switching is a cultural reality for people of color & communities, read about it.

We see the perceived “costs” to not code-switching all the time.

Can’t tell you how many young people in our community don’t have the confidence they should bc they didn’t grow up learning secondary speech.
Their talents get stifled by “respectability,” despite enormous gifts.
The good news is that we can improve this easily w/ honest reflection.

For ex, are certain hairstyles discouraged in your workplace?Why?
Can you think of someone who didn’t advance bc of how they spoke? Why?
Examine what’s deemed “unprofessional” around you & adapt it to 2019.
Or, a shorter version: “Um, like, you know that black accent?! I, like, you know, meant to do that.”
Or, the slighter longer short version: “I know I said I get that way when I’m, like, all fired up, or whatever. But now that you have, you know, audio proving I, like, never did that before, like, what I meant to say was, you know, ‘I, like, meant to do that! It’s code-switching, or whatever! Like adapt to 2019!”
Honey, put the shovel down.
There may be a simpler explanation for why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decided to morph into a AME preacher, as Paul Joseph Watson reminded us Friday night:
Worth re-visiting in light of today’s AOC performance.

Though, I’m hoping she doesn’t put the shovel down. Because watching this thin-skinned girl scramble for excuses over pandering to black people by using a phony black accent is all manner of entertaining.
Speaking of Paul Joseph Watson: He plans to do a video on Butterfly McYaaas-Queen soon.
After her performance today, it’s high time for me to devote a video to AOC. Best memes and dumbest statements in this thread please. https://t.co/TzxbpgT9eW

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for that video to drop.
UPDATE:
The video dropped!

You know, we really have not delved into why Ocasio-Cortez is as clueless as she seems to be. Her chosen career prior to becoming a representative of her district was not one that required a college education. After all, she was a bartender.
In my experience bartenders tend to be people who are really good at bullshitting. Yes, there is also a requirement of being able to mix drinks and be halfway quick at it but in the all in all, there is no requirement for a massive intellect to be a bartender. Only the gift of ‘gab’.
Beyond this, it is also apparent that her ‘degree’ in international studies really did not prepare her for much of anything. I would guess it is an equivalent to a ‘humanities’ degree as far as lacking any real job goal that would normally be attached to a college curriculum. It is either that or she did not really do all that well and certainly not well enough to find a career type of gainful employment.
So, for AOC to wander about both intellectually and also in language is not much of a stretch. Her skill set is obviously knowing how to talk to people to say whatever she needed to to entertain them and not much else. No substance. Just glib talking to keep people hanging around for a while.
It’s true, liberals do talk down to black people in comparison to conservatives, who treat them as regular people.
The hot air coming out of this dimwits mouth is more dangerous than that which escapes a cow’s arse.
Bwahahahahaaha. I ain’t no ways ‘tard of laughin’ at yo’ pitcha’ honey chile…
In other news Former SC Governor Fritz Hollings has died at 97. Lindsey Grahamnesty and Jim “Fisheye” Clyburn fondly remembered the Governor despite the fact he signed the bill into law putting the evil and wicked confederate flag atop the SC statehouse. Happy Sunday Y’all
IMNSHO, AOC is a drunk. Eating popcorn, slurring words, swilling wine and inconsistent statements? Having to backtrack or defend idiotic policies? What a piece of work.
She is not a person of color she is a white Hispanic. If it was good enough for them to use that line on George Zimmerman than it is good enough for her also.
I may be a bit behind the times here but can someone explain the difference between “code switching” and “cultural appropriation”?
Damn! Now after learning to code, I have to learn to code-switch? Stop the madness!
She be puttin’ on dat ‘verbal blackface’ y’all.
