Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she was hoping to see the new project begin as soon as possible after the Federal election this year (which she is confident will see President Trump defeated). The BCC have long claimed that the existing neoclassical and palladian architectural styles of the White House, which dates back to the late 18th century are examples of a purely White 18th and 19th century, Anglo-European, architectonics which were intentionally used to assert the racial superiority of White, Anglo-Protestant American in the new US Republic.
It goes without saying the colour of the White House - a uniform bright white - was also used to symbolise White, Anglo-European skin, "White Power" and White hegemony. When construction began on the White House in 1792, as is well known, the bulk of the labourers used to construct it were primarily African slaves.
At a press conference yesterday, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez stated: "Wherever we find the symbols of this nation's wicked, racist past on public display they must be taken down immediately and destroyed: I'm talking about things like statues of Robert E. Lee and Abraham Lincoln; paintings and memorials of slave-masters like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington...they must all go! And what, I ask you, is the White House but a giant symbol of the arrogated "superiority" of White, Anglo-European Western culture and its White race" !
Asked what kind of building would replace the White House if the Democratic Party were elected to office in 2020, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, said:
"Well, the Chair of the Democratic BCC recently introduced me to Biggie Chotoro and Sixpence Chickabiggun, two award-wining African, pygmie archictects from the Republic of Congo - who are currently here in DC working on the new White House plans. They were kind enough to show me some of their initial drafts and sketches for the new, Post-Trump, White House. Let me tell you, its amazing stuff ! What they've done is taken the concept of the basic African or Mexican Palm-Thatched Mud and magnified it, so the new White House will basically be a giant mud hut with a palm-thatched roof that is about the same size as the old White House. Talk about a stoke of genius ! The plan is to make the Presidential Mud Hut using local mud from the DC "swamp" which will also cut costs The new Mud House will also "Green", i.e. very energy efficient, as mud huts are naturally cool inside when the whether outdoors is hot" The beauty of the idea is in the Mud Hut aesthetic. That is, the the Presidential Mud Hut is neither beautiful or ugly, so it cannot be a distraction, rather, it is very plain, simple and basic, the perfect place for Presidents and their advisers to maintain steady concentration and focus on their work."
"After we've finished with the White House, Congress and the Senate will also be demolished and replaced with giant mud huts." Anyway, I must go now, I've got a plane to catch to Las Vegas, I'm chairing a five day conference of the Democratic Socialists of America there in the Hilton Hotel. Bye."
