I think she's just showing off her manicure that she got from the salon. Isn't that what the protest was about?
the protest she is at is for black lives matter. not 'some black lives'. unless flipping the bird is showing someone their life matters. that would be pale pasty privileged lefty logic for sure

Yeah, seeing Pelosi, Schumer, and others kneeling in kente cloth was cringe-inducing.
it's about as insensitive and tone-deaf as it gets. also it just assumes George Floyd's ancestry is confirmed from Ghana. then again i'm sure most of the (D) politicians assembled there just think Africa is 'Africa' and there's no difference between Egypt and Kenya. for all their talk of wanting diversity they don't know the damn difference between various cultures in each area of the world.
it's like if a person of Indonesian or Malaysian descent was killed by police, and Pelosi and co. wore kimonos and rice-paddy hats
a person from Argentina or Guatemala was killed by police, Pelosi and co. all wore sombreros and ponchos
a person from somewhere in broader Middle-East was killed by police, Pelosi and co. wear headscarves and burkas
a person with South Asian descent was killed by police, Pelosi and co all wear turbans
it's horrible
