'Badass' Stacey Abrams DEMOLISHES these 'cowards'

Published | Video Starts at 39:30

Every black woman that, even if it's not directed at him, that is powerful, seems to truly terrify him. So I wrote this book, Our Time is Now Power, Purpose and the Fight for Fair America. My book was number 11 on the books that got pulled out of the US Naval Academy library. They eventually put it back, but they pulled my book out, but left Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Oh, my God. I guess that's everything, right? So that's one backdrop. But here's the thing. Black women statistically are the most likely to be at the bottom of almost every list. (39:30–39:41)

CLAIM

Asserts that her book was removed from the US Naval Academy library but later reinstated, while Mein Kampf was not removed.
