Yesterday the Democrats wore kente scarfs and knelt down for their photo op.

So check this out, Kente cloth was worn by the Ashanti (in Africa). It is made of silk so the affluent wore it. The Ashanti were also known as slave owners and traders.

The Ashanti’s long-time ally, the Akwamu, were among the first ones to profit from the slave trade with the Europeans. Their captives were almost always prisoners of war, but they were not above to selling Akwamu men who offended the chief.

They also kidnapped able-bodied men from other tribes and sold them in the coastal slave markets.

This makes me wonder why they chose to wear this particular tribe's garb.

Democrats can’t hide what they are... not even in photo ops.
PS... for those braindead that will responde with “CiTe YoUr SoUrCeS”, here you go.
