So are all other forms of racism and the white population has no monopoly on them.
They ... we had the power to enact racist things over the last half millennium.
My extremely white ancestors were enslaved for four hundred years by people from the Mediterranean basin after they totally destroyed our history, beliefs and culture. They perfected it, too.
People from the Mediterranean Basin?
Do you mean Romans?
If the Mexicans are white so are the Romans.
Let's be fair here.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez receives so many death threats her staff performs visitor risk assessments
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has received death threats frequently enough that her staff “stiffens” every time someone knocks on the door of her office.
The realities of Ms Ocasio-Cortez’s time in Congress as the US representative of New York's 14th congressional district have been revealed in a new Time profile, which displays the youngest-ever Congresswoman on the cover.
According to the profile, the outspoken Congresswoman has made many fans and enemies in her first few months in office, with the latter leading Capitol Police to train her staff in performing risk assessments of all visitors - even those just leaving positive Post-it notes.
The immense public attention she’s acquired since being elected in 2018 has also slightly taken a toll on the 29-year-old, who told the magazine that she misses being able to go outside without being watched.
“I miss being able to go outside in sweats,” she said. “I can’t go anywhere in public and just be a person without a lot of people watching everything I do.”
But, as she told the magazine this month, despite the frequent backlash from both sides of the political spectrum, Ms Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, is dedicated to pushing for legislation that will have a lasting impact.
Acknowledging that the process of approving new legislation can often take years, she said: “So everything we introduce needs to have 2025 or our kids in mind.”

AOC flubs history of FDR and change to Constitution
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ocasio-cortez-flubs-history-fdr-change-to-constitution
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-N.Y., might want to brush up on some history after asserting, incorrectly, that Republicans in Congress amended the Constitution to kick President Franklin Delano Roosevelt out of office.
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected," Ocasio-Cortez said Friday during a night hall event with MSNBC with Chris Hayes.
Ocasio-Cortez was referring to the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution which passed in 1947.
The text of the amendment states, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” FDR died in 1945, meaning he was dead for a full two years before presidential term limits were implemented.
*snicker*

1951, but nice try. It was approved by Congress in 1947, but Congressional approval isn't enough. You need ratification by 3/4 of the states.
I'm sure you knew that.
Perhaps you should call the Washington Examiner and correct them.
Nevertheless, AOC has flubbed up once again.... I'm sure you knew that.
The Examiner? I'd have to stay on an open line with them forever.
Sounds like she ain't the only one.
