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

[HarlemHottie]

I'll hold these idiots accountable when I elect them

I dont think that's how it works, breh.

 

[Ziggiy]

Black Men will be blamed for this

 

[HarlemHottie]

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

Neither have most bp.

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!

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.

It’s a fact. My dad grew up in Jim Crow south, the Deep South before he moved up north during the Great Migration. He was older than Emmett Till. One thing him and my grandma told me, don’t ever bring no peckerwood home. One of my brothers (he’s in his 50s now) wanted to marry a white woman round the time I was born and they told him they’d disown him. They look at white people and the black family way differently. They’re the soul of black America if we are being honest and that’s why politicians always try to appeal to them. Maybe it’s some truth to the fact that divesters is majority non ADOS but let me not derail.

Neither have most bp.

One cannot argue, though, that it's not a substantial part of the ados experience. Black college and greek life extends into all of our lives even if we've never participated ourselves.

None of us are slaves. But we can't deny that slaves and slavery is a substantial part of the ados experience. The effects extends into all of our lives even though we are not slaves ourselves.

So the inability to recognize the significance of either will have someone like me questioning someone else's own black authenticity.

Do you think landmark policies come about because politicians are happy to pass it?

 

[jwinfield]

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

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.

I was trying to explain the woman in the article's point on how the perception is different between Obama and Kamala. The person in the article talked about books and music, whether its genuine or not, that's how she saw Obama.

To her, she heard Obama's journey trying to get familiar with the culture and sees this at the end of it

She looks at Kamala's journey and sees this

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

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?

What AKA I don't kno that black sorority stuff

But I think folks issue is she was sworn in as the first Indian ag

That playing the fence Elle

How u the first Indian ag and than the first black woman Vice President candidate?

Her optics been bad from get go

On the surface her facial features look like a black woman but don't get it twisted Elle growing up in cali there Indian woman with black features.

I think Obama optics was better he was more consistent black than she been which makes me think she really considers herself both

Nothing wrong wit it ijs

 

[Captain Crunch]

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.

Not to mention, Obama came first
I think if we've had a carbon copy of Obama this pres cycle, he would've faltered like Kamala. We're more hip to the game, hell even our own in Deval and Booker couldn't gain traction, because enough of us want policies and not symbolism.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

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

Obama doesn't get elected if he had a white wife, end of story

 

[HarlemHottie]

One cannot argue, though, that it's not a substantial part of the ados experience. Black college and greek life extends into all of our lives even if we've never participated ourselves.

Nothing about her cv partucularly resonates with me either, tbh. I mean, i watched school daze and a different world, but thats about it.

Edit to include your edit:

So the inability to recognize the significance of either will have someone like me questioning someone else's own black authenticity.

Son. You wiling.

 

[HarlemHottie]

Do you think landmark policies come about because politicians are happy to pass it?

Do you think landmark policies come about bc we've already given them our vote?

 

[EndDomination]

There are a lot of Black women.

She has support from a large contingent of them. She is also rejected by a large contingent of them.

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

Black people are sad.

Reported for echoing racist cac talking points on top of giving them something to “giggle” about in regards to black ppl.
