Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, said on Friday that the United States owes \u201ceverything\u201d to black women.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett said during Essence\u2019s Festival of Culture that every American should celebrate Independence Day by thanking black women for their contributions, including inventions and for birthing American democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to answering the question of what America owes black women, the answer is everything,\u201d Crockett said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we think about the sacrifices that black women have made from the moment that we were stolen from our homelands and transported into this country, to the fact that black women continue to stand as the backbones, specifically of the Democratic Party, we know that black women are always the ones that are doing the labor, but we are also the ones that are always the first targets of any harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, this Fourth of July, I say celebrate a black woman that you know, because whether it\u2019s an invention that she made, or whether it\u2019s the very democracy that still hangs by a thread right now. There is a black woman to thank for her contributions,\u201d Crockett added.<\/p>\n<p>The trans-Atlantic slave trade was abolished on Jan. 1, 1808, and the U.S. permanently outlawed slavery on Dec. 6, 1865, upon the ratification of the 13th Amendment. However, some black social activists, like Harriet Tubman, helped slaves escape in the Underground Railroad and strongly advocated for abolishing slavery.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett\u2019s estimated net worth was between $2 million and $9 million as of August 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/jasmine-crockett-built-her-net-220000233.html?guccounter=1&#038;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&#038;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALnbLFdoXTT6NZZJnyXfvV7qT0nkBKXFZeqdalcFJlQdfRpgi8jlDdSTWXXXDWKUGhKrht1fccoRunWuSk1U3zMp1Ej4spaUPRDIrxzkabye8qVOxWZpAPojIKJnCHQV6hr7fQIAiQ_YuLNt8JSLlf9pIGgKrtv0DeJUnD8doSZP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to 21Ninety. She earns a base salary of $174,000 per year in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett also minimized the murder of white teenager Austin Metcalf by claiming that people \u201cdon\u2019t know what it is to live as a black person in this country.\u201d A jury convicted Karmelo Anthony, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-times-reporter-resigns-amid-allegations-he-used-a-racial-slur-in-2019-ignore-context-and-intent\/\" title=\"New York Times ...orter Resigns Amid Allegations He Used A Racial Slur In 2019, Ignore Context And Intent\">black teenager<\/a>, of stabbing Metcalf in the heart after the two had a dispute during a track meet, leading Metcalf to die in his twin brother\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that our systems are broken,\u201d Crockett <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TMZ\/status\/2064780873971417197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-mrf-link=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TMZ\/status\/2064780873971417197\">told<\/a> TMZ on Wednesday. \u201cAnd what we saw with that verdict is the evidence of a broken system. It\u2019s my understanding that Karmelo ended up stabbing, puncturing, I don\u2019t know what this tool was they talk about, knife or some refer to it as a tool. Um, he ended up hitting Austin one time, and it was about where he hit him. One time. Two inches. This wasn\u2019t someone who said, \u2018Hey, let me stab you five, six, seven times.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, a lot of people don\u2019t know what it is to live as a black person in this country,\u201d Crockett continued.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett lost her Senate primary bid to Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico in March and is not running for reelection in the House. Crockett\u2019s ally, political commentator Jen Ramos, said in February that Crockett did not run television advertisements during her Senate bid because of racism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p><em>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >legitimate news publisher<\/a> that can provide a large audience.
