Diversity on stark display as House's incoming freshmen gather in Washington

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The most diverse House freshman class in history convened Tuesday for the first time since last week’s elections.
But of the two political parties’ freshman gatherings, only one looked something like the country as a whole.

The incoming lawmakers — memorialized in a flier that circulated on Capitol Hill — are overwhelmingly white on the Republican side, with only one woman, while women and people of color are a majority of the newcomers on the Democratic side.

As the incoming members gathered at a hotel in Southeast Washington, several Democrats said they hoped that the diversity of their numbers would inform the party’s approach to policy.

“It brings a different perspective to the table,” said Rep.-elect Kendra Horn (Okla.), the first Democratic woman elected to Congress from her state, adding: “I’m very excited to be part of this new class that looks a lot more like our communities.”

1. OMG. That's a beautiful set of faces in the Democratic list

And the same old, tired, white, owned set in the repuglicons.

How can they go home and tell their families, children/grandchildren that they care about their future?
Oh, yes - they are expecting to pass the reins of white privilege and inheritance on to their supposed gene-relations. (Doesn't usually work that way, gramps.)

3. Hey now...

the Republicans have a guy with an eye patch, so that's diversity. Isn't it?

In all seriousness, this is a stark contrast of the parties. I'm so glad I'm aligned with the correct one - the one that really represents America.
