VIDEO: Cherisse Scott Fires Back At Senator Kerry Roberts
“Absolutely it was racist… you want folks to stay ignorant so they won’t hold you accountable. It was not a joke.”
Cherisse Scott of SisterReach fires back at Sen. Kerry Roberts, who called for an end to higher ed after her #TNAbortionBan testimony.
She also said:
“You’ve been able to effectively train your people to believe I don’t care about myself, my baby, my community, and as long as you can keep that going there will never be an opportunity for white Tennesseans to believe they have something in common with black Tennesseans.”
