Transcript

For a long time, and the roots are in slavery, black women have been, slurred and made to feel that they were unattractive, made to feel that they were masculine, made to feel, that they were, tier didn't have the femininity that a white woman would have. And so there's this intersectionality between race, racism, and sexism that was on full display at the White House. The crowd laughed at the statement, and the president of The United States smirked. And that and never addressed what was said. That is beneath the dignity of the office of the president of The United States, and it's beneath the dignity of the American people.
