Referencing the bipartisan and unanimously approved rules for House decorum and dress attire is far from a racist attack.
If you don’t like rules, perhaps you should explore a different career opportunity that’s main purpose is not creating them.
We literally just got on the State House floor and already a white supremacist has attacked my wearing of my Dashiki. Resistance and subversion to the status quo ought to make some people uncomfortable. Thank you to every Black Ancestor who made this opportunity possible!
