For The Record
I could care less about AOC "code-switching," but the content of her message is that she encourages an African American audience to take pride in driving buses, serving food, etc. I don't think she's wrong -- I actually think she ought to take the same message to Stanford and Harvard if you ask me -- but it's important to point out George W Bush made the exact same speech to underprivileged inner city kids in 1990s and was chastised by Democrats as a racist. The Democrats said to these same kids "you keep going to college." And now these same kids are no doubt some of the folks we hear about drowning in student loan debt. So you tell me - who was/is right and who was/is wrong?
