OOPS: Turns Out United Passenger Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Accused Of Being Racist Is A Celebrated Human-Rights Activist

It’s so funny to watch the left eat each other. One left winger accusing another of racism.

Via Gateway Pundit

Last week, the Queen of England Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee stole another passenger’s first-class seat aboard a United Airlines flight. After the passenger complained and the story was picked up by media, the Congresswoman was quick to immediately play the race card and released this humorously ironic statement:

“Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared to be, upon reflection, because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target along with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice,” the Texas Democrat wrote in a post. “This saddens me, especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work on to help people.”

Right… because we should all be “working to help” and bend over backward for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee when Christmas rolls around. Well, if that statement wasn’t stand-alone funny enough, it turns out that the passenger whose seat Jackson Lee stole is a human-rights activist.

Via Washington Times:

The woman Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee accused of racism is a celebrated photojournalist who helped document human-rights abuses in war-torn Guatemala during the 1980s.

Jean-Marie Simon, whose first-class seat on a United Airlines flight was given to Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, lived and worked in Guatemala during the turbulent decade that saw the military seize control of the government in a coup. Hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans were killed or “disappeared” during the conflict.

Now a teacher, Ms. Simon, 63, is the author of “Guatemala: Eternal Spring Eternal Tyranny.” A 2012 blog post on Amnesty International said Ms. Simon donated 1,000 copies of her book to schools and universities in Guatemala “to keep the truth of what happened alive.” […]

After bartering with Ms. Simon over the amount of the voucher she would receive as compensation, United eventually placed the disgruntled passenger in Economy Plus. The airline has yet to apologize for the incident.

“I was the last passenger on the plane,” Ms. Simon wrote on Facebook. “A Texas congressman, a nice guy, sat down next to me. He said was glad I had made it on the flight. I showed him my boarding pass with my seat, 1A, printed on it. He said, ‘You know what happened, right? Do you know who’s in your seat?’ I said no. He told me that it was Jackson Lee, a fellow U.S. congresswoman who regularly does this, that this was the third time he personally had watched her bump a passenger.”

I’ll give them this much, at least they’ve dropped the hypocrisy and moved on to full blown identity politics.

Now it’s just a race to the finish, no pun intended.

The journalist should have pulled out her lesbian card. Black trumps lesbian, but maybe lesbian + French/Armenian (or whatever she is) would trump black. She could also walk with a limp.

Actually, the only privileged card that trumps the Black card is the First People card, the card wielded by the Noble Red Man. The SJW’s up in Omaha proved that recently. A couple of black cops were fired from the Omaha PD, because a psychotic First Person, who was off his meds, died after being tasered by the two People of Color.

My reaction was whaaat? Black cops are not supposed to be fired, whatever they do. Well, now we know the exception to the rule. Maybe the poor First Person was of mixed ancestry, so looked enough like a white guy that the cops thought they were safe in jolting him with 50,000 volts.

I know that I am about to violate the rules of Racial Solidarity that Black Folks have enunciated so well, but I am with the two Black cops on this one. If somebody is off their meds, acting crazy and threatening, then yeah, the cops should taser him. Most people can survive being tasered. Not too many people can survive a 40 caliber bullet to the noggin.

We need more Black cops. Let the Black cops police the ghetto, and the White cops police the white areas. Black cops should be able to develop a better rapport with the other brutha’s and screaming racism doesn’t work when the cop shooting the Quickie Mart robber resembles a little slice of a total solar eclipse, except for his eyes and teeth.

Hey, let ol’ Mohammad Noor police the Somalian cesspools in Minneapolis. If he shoots a Somali just because he feels the urge, or thinks someone is violating his sense if proper Sharia behavior, then the other Somalis will promptly whack him.

Justice will be served, and nobody will swing for whacking Noor because the SJW’s in Crazysota, from Governor Mark Dipshit on down, believe in hiding any Somali misbehavior. Maybe the SJW’s are right. Maybe our primitive standards of behavior are unworkable in advanced societies like the little Somalia enclaves established in this county.

Ever notice that White liberals and Blacks say racist differently? White liberals turn their head to a 45 degree angle, tilt the chin up, and say “that’s raaaaaaacist”; blacks look straight at you and say ” dats raycissss”. Wonder what causes that? Genetics, culture, different forms of indoctrination?

Hey, if I sent my reasoned dissertation, immediately above, to the Minny Mouse paper, do you think they would print it in the letters to the editor? If they did, would they edit it to create less stress for the Minny Mouse SJW’ and DWL’s (deluded white liberals). Would they change Governor InheritedTonofDaytonHudsonStock from Dipshit to Dayton?

If I sent the dissertation to the National Inquirer, would they print it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Nathan,
Your comments are quite funny. Congratulations.
Good writing!
I am thinking you have to live in the Minni/St. Paulo
area? It has some “nice” neighborhoods…for now.
Soon enough the residents will be calling for HELP!

Upper Minnesota. Since I am opinionated, I try to keep a low profile here in Crazysota. Vent by emailing my comments to a friend in another state who posts them for me. Socialists of all stripes are all over in this state and can be fairly vicious. Don’t want to lose my job.

Becoming suddenly unemployed and moving back to Missouri might be a blessing. I could go back to growing tobacco and making whiskey in a hidden cave like grandpa.

I don’t know, I’m going with Sheila Jackson Lee on this one. She has correctly identified the woman as a racist. The woman is a celebrated human rights activists, therefore she hates white people, therefore she is a racist. Nice work Miss Jackson Lee. I wish you were my congresswoman.

WEBSTER HAS A DESCRIPTION OF LEE IN THEIR SECTION BETWEEN “M” AND “O”
MAKES YOU WONDER IF THE DISTRICT THAT VOTED HER IN, IS A MENTALLY CHALLENGED COLONY, A DRUG REHAB DISTRICT, OR BOTH
LEE IS THE RESULT OF CORRUPT VOTING, AND IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF YOUR TYPICAL GHETTO BOTTOM FEEDER IN THE CESSPOOL.

Just say it…she’s a dirty self entitled nigger, who should have been removed from the seat at 36k ft given an old military parachute with instructions in perfect English and tossed out the door.

Let’s see. Preferential treatment for 50 plus years, lowering standards for 50 years and 13% of the population still commits 53% of the crime. What’s our next move?

“Since this was not any fault of mine” Upper class AA way of dodging responsibility for action.

I’ve said it before, SJL just does not comprehend the English language, maybe if I explain in Ghettoese the dumb cretin would understand. Here goes; “dare be no ting ‘afrikan-american’ it do be negro”. You are one of that race and you still stole that woman’s seat. -30-

Ms Simon should have made them drag her out of the seat. The last Dr. Dragged off United got over a $million I believe. Missed pay day….

The only thing greater than “white privilege” is the “black advantage”. Affirmative Action is as racist as it gets, seriously!
