Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) introduced a House Bill criminalizing “conspiracy to commit white supremacy,” which includes criticism of non-white people which influences an individual to commit a hate crime.
The legislation, H.R.61 “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023,” introduced last Monday by Democratic congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, seeks to “prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime.”
The congressional bill, which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, states that someone engages in a white supremacy inspired hate crime “when white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of activity that, if effectuated, would have constituted a crime.”
Accordingly, “conspiracy” to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime entails the publishing of material “advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group.”
It also calls for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to gain “authority to conduct operations and activities pursuant” to what it deems “necessary and appropriate to interdict, mitigate, or prevent such action from culminating in violent activity.”
The bill would grant the department authority to “prosecute” persons engaged in such actions, with “records of white supremacy inspired hate crimes” maintained and annual reports provided.

Sorry, Anonymous, but with years of evidence, she is just that f'n stupid.
The idiots that want to criminalize the speech of white guys are the same corruptocrats that are removing the gun rights of white guys.
Sad that this was suggested by one ignorant delusional woman. Even sadder than this is that others will sponsor or even vote for something so blatantly unconstitutional. And no action will be taken to remove these people from offices they have no qualifications to have been chosen initially.
Not a good look for Texas.
And I thought biden was dumb.
This from a serving CONgress critter with almost thirty years in office. Apparently, in those almost thirty years, she's never read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.Typical black Demonrat. Nothing but a rabble rouser. While most of the rest of the country is trying get past race discrimination, black politicians continue to stir the pot. There's only one cure for this insanity.

I believe she was selected and not elected. There was issues in Houston with election votes. This Bill should be voted down since it goes against Freedom of Speech.
