How do Black women see Kamala Harris? There’s a lot that ‘raises eyebrows,’ one expert says.

So your suggestion is vote for Trump, then. You talking about 2024 as if that matters. Only thing that matters now is getting Trump OUT!
He wants Trump to win but can't flat out say it because he fears repercussions and his opinion won't be taken seriously. We'd know he wasn't black.

I hate that people reduce our criticisms of Kamala Harris to "her husband is white". Completely ignoring everything else.

:snoop:

IDGAF what color her husband is. It wouldn't be an issue if her track record wasn't what it is.

Exactly..

People who are making their decisions, based on physical characteristics, is funy to me..

They said they are voting for her and Biden, for the record. I've heard folks express these same viewpoints in real life :yeshrug:

The point about Obama makes no sense. He’s not AA either, his father is Kenyan. The difference is his wife is AA. :francis:At least make a sensible argument.

I get the point. Outside of being married to a black woman and living in Chicago, Obama might not have had a real exposure to "black America" before that point, whereas Kamala is a Howard AKA and that's her main "tie". Interesting to me that she lumped Cory Booker in with Kamala :jbhmm:

That point did make sense. Obama technically was "African American" but what the hell is African American about him if he was raised by a white family in Hawaii?

Obama knew he had no connections to US (ADOS) culturally, genetically etc. He made a conscious decision to try to be like us and be a part of our community in ways that Kamala did not (besides going to an HBCU).

Yeah....that's how I saw it.

Should also be taken into consideration that despite all this, the lady said she's voting for her. Sucks that as voters, we have to make choices between unfavorable candidates. Politics in a nutshell, right?:scusthov:

You’re right breh, they’re everywhere :francis: @G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman
They took over this board. At least he admits to being a Trump supporter. The funny thing is these people that claim so much that they don't care about the election be in every fukking thread about the election. Yet they're never in black threads that are about coming up with solutions on what we can do for self. All they're here to do is dissuade the black vote.


It's because they're not black or they're super duper c00ns :coffee:

They don’t even try to hide their agendas either. Why invest so much time into an election they supposedly don’t care about and “won’t vote” in? It’s obvious what they’re doing but nobody wants to put a stop to them :francis:
Some accounts haven’t posted in months but suddenly start posting anti vote and dem propaganda

Only a fool can't see through their agenda. Sadly, in 2020 there's plenty blind fools.

I don't understand this argument or better yet how people are choosing to have cognitive dissonance when comparing Obama and Harris's cultural connections.

Obama had no ties to black culture.
Neither did Harris.

Obama got his cultural cred from his black wife.
Kamala got her cultural cred from her black university and sorority.

What you dismiss as being insignificant (Kamala's HBCU experience and sorority), others may not.

And what you see as being significant (Obama's marriage), others may not.

The positioning here is selective and arbitrary.

People are "citing" that the reason Kamala went to Howard was because she received a scholarship. What people are missing is that she had to "consider" Howard first.

People simultaneously have not considered the fact that, if Obama received scholarships to attend Occidental and then Columbia, there is a high chance he would've received scholarships to attend Howard.

We would never know though because Howard, or any other black college, was not a consideration for him to even apply.

Although you dismiss it, that is significant when assessing ADOS cultural connection because it means that Kamala had an earlier and stronger foundation in ADOS culture than Obama. She was taught under black professors, saw black administrators, received her most critical education from a black/ados perspective, had black boyfriends, went to black parties, did community service in Ledroit Park and greater DC, joined a black sorority (a lifelong commitment), participated in step shows, etc.

Obama had none of that experience. He was at Columbia fukking white bishes until he moved to Chicago. He was damn near 30 years old before he met Michelle.

Kamala was at Howard at 18 years old. And although having no cultural ties to ADOS, she made a lifelong commitment through her sorority, and later reaffirmed that commitment by joining other black womens organizations who would not have accepted her if they thought she was an incognegro and would not be of service to the black community.

Obama finally made a commitment to ADOS culture through his marriage to Michelle but I don't find that any more significant than Kamala considering that was probably the first black woman he dated with no prior ties to the black community before coming to Chicago.

Both of their connections to black culture are a wash to be honest so it's silly to arbitrarily place more significance on one over the other.

Better to be critical over Kamala's record as a prosecutor than trying to compare perceived cultural cred to Obama.

I'm going to be cynical here and say Biden didn't want someone potentially more popular than him as his VP. The fact it came down to Rice and Harris is very telling, Harris especially has a lot of the same problems he has.
Reporting has come out that says warren was basically going to turn biden into a whole other candidate and biden wanted SOME control.

How Biden Chose Harris: A Search That Forged New Stars, Friends and Rivalries
Warren is really about that reform life.

Ms. Warren, too, was persuasive and compelling to the search committee in her interviews, pleasantly surprising a largely moderate panel, including several members who had looked askance at some of the policies and language she adopted in her own presidential campaign. But Ms. Warren told the committee she fully appreciated that the role of the vice president was different, and that the agenda of a Biden administration would be Mr. Biden’s.

“He won; I lost,” Ms. Warren said in one interview, according to people briefed on her comments.

What’s more, Ms. Warren noted that she was past her 70th birthday, and would not be looking to advance a long-range political career in the vice presidency, leaving some members of the search team convinced she did not aim to run for president again. The search team told Mr. Biden they believed they could rely on Ms. Warren as a cooperative governing partner — an assessment Mr. Biden shared.



Fam. He almost went with Duckworth :ohhh:

He read books, listened to music, moved to the Southside of Chicago and did community organizing and married an ADOS woman.

You think Kamala didn't "read books" and "listen to music" when she moved to LeDroit Park to attend Howard? :heh:

You think at Howard she hadn't read the Souls of Black Folk, Native Son, The Bluest Eye, hadn't recited poetry from Langston Hughes or Zora Neale Hurston, hadn't been involved in community service to the greater DC area (Chocolate City) through Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority?

Come on..y'all are being completely arbitrary and disingenuous right now.:rudy:

Well in that case Obama is just a better actor than Kamala. He's way more charismatic than Kamala and with his speeches he was able to pull off the con in ways Kamala can't.

This bytch comes across as phony and her whole career post HBCU has been pro Corporate and anti-black.
