Ma'am...you and Ocasio-Cortez are wrong. It's simply beyond words that two Members of Congress make such a concerted effort to discriminate and deny equality to their own - forget about the white man! Prejudice and discrimination is no longer a black and white thing.

Now the Topic of Discussion is at its PEAK.I’ve been wondering for YEARS why Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 has never been accepted into STATEHOOD not recognized as a State.Again the Spanish People have sacrificed their lives for OUR COUNTRY and yet remain subservient to Political Discrimination
