Black Caucus chair says America's growing diversity faces 'dragon' of hate
The new chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), says those who oppose America's increasing diversity have “essentially unleashed a dragon” of hate.
“America is becoming more diverse and that diversity is leading to the browning of our nation,” Bass said Thursday during a speech at the swearing-in ceremony of Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members.
“Instead of a celebration, the reaction from some has essentially unleashed a dragon, a dragon that is gasping its last breath and so he is dangerous as he lashes out,” she continued. “The dragon is hate, the dragon is white supremacy and they have a leader.”
Bass warned that Americans have gone from being “embarrassed to emboldened” by white supremacy.
But the lawmaker also expressed hope, citing the CBC’s power and influence in the 116th Congress.
