WOKE ALERT: Democrat lawmaker sparks firestorm for saying she doesn’t ‘feel good about being White’

17

From Fox News: A Kentucky Democrat went viral this week after admitting she felt guilty about her skin color in a speech defending diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools.

“I’m going to be honest,” state Rep. Sarah Stalker said during a meeting of the Kentucky General Assembly’s Interim Joint Committee on Education Tuesday. “I don’t feel good about being White every day, for a lot of reasons.”

Stalker was responding to comments from Republican state Sen. Lindsey Tichenor, R-Smithfield, who presented a draft of a bill to end DEI programs in K-12 schools in Kentucky, according to the Kentucky Lantern.

In her remarks, Stalker said being White was a “point of privilege” that gives her opportunities that many of her colleagues, friends, family members and community don’t get to experience. She said removing DEI programs from schools would deny White students the “opportunity” to expose them to their own “privilege.”


Stalkner’s bizarre rant continued, as she declared, “If I was a White man, I would be functioning from a point of even greater privilege. I think we’re missing an opportunity. When kids have a moment to reflect about how the color of their skin does and does not allow them to move through the world — running to them and trying to stifle that and trying to say you shouldn’t feel bad, so, we don’t ever want to expose you to something that is going to make you have to pause and have maybe some internal feelings — it’s a missed opportunity for some really good dialogue.”

A video clip of her comments was shared on X by users “End Wokeness” and “Libs of TikTok.”

Elon Musk responding, writing, “What an evil woman.”
