Texas Republican Chip Roy appointed Byron Donalds from Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Roy began the nomination \u2014 which challenges Kevin McCarthy, the outgoing GOP minority leader, for the top position in the House \u2014 by highlighting Donalds\u2019s race as Democrats nominate New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow here we are, and for the first time in history there have been two black Americans placed into the nomination for speaker of the House,\u201d Roy stated this before the fourth vote. <\/p>\n<p>The proclamation was received with standing ovations and roaring applause as the lawmakers at each end of the chamber celebrated this historic racial milestone, 158 years after the fall of American slavery. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever,\u201d Roy continued, \u201cwe do not seek to judge people by the color of their skin but rather the content of their character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans stood once more to shout the mantra, which was first popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. two miles west at the Lincoln Memorial&#8217;s steps in 1963. Most Democrats across the aisle were captivated with a form identity politics that is obsessed by skin color and sat with their arms crossed. <\/p>\n<p>This juxtaposition reveals everything about American race relations today. <\/p>\n<p>Democrats couldn\u2019t celebrate the famous line from the 20th-century civil rights icon because color blindness is no virtue in the church of wokeness, the new secular religion to take over the Democratic Party. <\/p>\n<p>One example of how Democrats see skin color was when two left-leaning racists entered American homes in December. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/12\/16\/popular-left-wing-racists-on-dr-phil-expose-the-hostility-of-democrats-who-see-skin-color-as-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">went on \u201cDr. Phil\u201d<\/a> It is racist to accuse white women intrinsically of racism. <\/p>\n<p>Regina Jackson Turner and Saira Rao are well-known for their work.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/06\/30\/belittled-women-the-rise-of-white-guilt-chick-lit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charging<\/a> white women $2,500 each for a dinner at which guests are told how they\u2019re white supremacists, went on the daytime program to promote their new documentary \u201cDeconstructing Karen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When a white woman seated next to Dr. Phillip McGraw refused to capitulate to Rao and Jackson\u2019s accusation of racism, instead insisting \u201cI\u2019m not racist,\u201d Rao cut her off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, you are,\u201d Rao yelled over the white oppressor. \u201cYes, you absolutely are.
