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

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

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

Obama was thoro Elle when he ran around with Jeremiah wright and was in the ados community in Chicago

Kamala has no ties to ados blacks in anyway so there no connection to her at all

I think that why blacks are not excited about her


Obama win was as much about Michelle malia Sasha his family than anything else.

I'm no fan of him but in this context he was a lot more ingrained in black community than kamala

Who never claimed she was black

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.

I mean, I get all of this. This is better criticism.

Comparing perceived ADOS cultural cred, in relation to Obama, is silly though.

 

[humminbird]

The point had absolutely nothing to do with what they did while after being elected, but how they made efforts to connect to the AA community before Pres/VP run and how the voting bloc viewed them.

People looked at Michelle, Sasha and Malia and saw their sisters, aunts, little cousins and nieces.

If Barry and Becky Obama lived in Glencoe and had 75% white kids, we would've have perceived him a lot differently.

does Kamala have any children of her own?
I see her talk about her nieces, step-children but not her own.
that's another bad mark on her for black women

When 2024 comes and Republicans have somebody as bad as Trump, will you say the same thing? What about 2028, 2032, 2036?

When will we hold Democrats accountable instead of accepting bread crumbs because of the boogie man Republicans?

I'll hold these idiots accountable when I elect them so they pass necessary policies.

I'm not going to keep them out of office so my rights can be further repealed. What kind of logic is that.


By your logic I shouldn't vote. But wait..............why do white supremacists republicans do everything in their power to ensure I can't vote? Why would they gerrymandering, enact voter id laws, and prevent voting by mail during a deadly pandemic if my vote means nothing?

The obvious answer here is to get dems in power and get more progressive dems to occupy the party.

Interesting....

I don’t see Obama winning with a white wife


NB: That rings true to me. I have some friends who are now professors at Howard. And they shared offline that they were very disgusted when Kamala came to Howard, because she handled the community like she was an outsider. She took questions that were vetted through her campaign ahead of time. It was very orchestrated.

When Howard welcomed her to campus, the understanding was that people would ask her hard questions, like, we are going to ask these tough questions, which come from a loving place, so you’ll be ready when you leave. Practice on us, we’ll give you feedback, so you’ll be better and stronger when you go out. And she just took soft ball questions, things the campaign wanted to answer.

CK: Why do you think she struggles to connect with Black communities?

NB: There are a lot of cultural things that raise eyebrows within Black communities. The first thing is that she’s married to a White man. Danielle Lemi, [a professor of political science at the University of California at Riverside,] looked at multiracial legislators and interracial marriage. She has seen that this matters to the public. We saw this for Barack Obama, where being married to a descendant of slaves, being married to a woman named Michelle LaVaughn, it gave him street cred for Black folks. People who were like, “I don’t know, your mom was White from Kansas. Your dad is a Kenyan.” But people understood Michelle. She looked like their cousins, their aunts, their sisters. And they thought, if Obama made that choice for his life partner, he must get us. He must understand our experience by being married to a daughter of the Great Migration.

She does have ties to ADOS, she went to an HBCU and she’s an AKA. Obama is a neoliberal just like Kamala. They both push and support policies that are detrimental to BA. How do you know she’s never claimed to be black? Where’s the proof for that?

Facts, it was moreso that Michelle gave him credibility more than anything else. She’s BA from Southside Chicago and has actual ADOS roots. Cause being raised by a white woman and not having a black wife would’ve definitely not allowed for him to be President. Kamala was not only raised by an Indian woman, she married a white man and has fully white stepchildren. She’s delusional if she doesn’t understand the optics of that.

So basically she's running for president now..

If Biden is telling you he's not doing a 2nd term.. She's actually running for president at this point..

And how did she do while running her own presidential campaign?

Guess we will have to see how bad americans hate Trump in November..

Biden won't make it through 1 term, he is already showing severe mental decline. Nobody is voting Kamala for president.

I remember I said this here -- and was attacked. Some people went nuts -- if Obama did not have a ADOS wife he would not have gotten as MANY (95%) of the Black/ADOS vote.

I will say - that some Black men (and women) - especially older -- do look at IR mates negatively. Especially, those who lived in and/or left Jim Crow South during the Great Migration.

So, her having a White husband - will be a issue for some. It is what it is.

Agent Rye is disgusting! Along with the rest of the Boule Bootlicks.



Kamala ain't my damn "Sister".

 

[Wildhundreds]

How are these two candidates going to appeal to the brehs and younger CACs in the rust belt states?

Everything else said in this thread is irrelevant because democrats always win the popular vote..

He doesn't identify with that because him nor his people most likely attended black colleges or joined black fraternities.

The only thing that resonates with him is liking black woman of which Obama is going to come out ahead of Harris.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

These AKA’s on my timeline are loving it. One of them even reserved a hotel in DC for the (possible) inauguration
