On Monday, led by House of Representative speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Congressional Democrats kneeled for a moment of silence but… wearing Kente Cloth.
Immediately, social media erupted with reposts and laughable shock at the choice to wear Kente cloth, a Ghanian textile, draped around their neck like a gold chain at the 90’s source awards.

Understandably, they tried it.
Black Twitter, however, was not having it.
Next, lets try policy changes, passing laws that protect Black people, and leave the Kente cloth out of it.
