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

[Skooby]

Howard gave her the biggest scholarship.

Secondly many white washed blacks choose to go to HBCU to find out what being blacks means. She was definitely one of them, sadly she only care for high achieving black folks.

Didn't know she got a scholarship from Howard.

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



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

Its stupid for them to say this because just like biden's spouse you don't see her husband.

This ain't like Bush Sr, Clinton, Obama and Reagan. Where their spouses were important pieces of them getting elected. Those spouses stood out and people for good or bad felt connected to them.

I mean folks have no connection or feelings towards biden's wife or kamala's husband. shyt I wouldn't know who binden's wife was if you gave me a picture of her and she was sitting in the passanger seat of my car.

I wish the Asian nikka could've kept running for office. I would've voted for him over everybody else.

The one who said “identity politics were bad for everyone?”

word?

To appeal to his white base?

 

[Originalman]

She never moved me in any way. I want to be happy and excited about her but she's so meh to me in every way possible. Her only redeeming qualities for me personally are her going to Howard and being an AKA. Other than that, I feel no connection to her.

Sista you just being real. It would be like if corey booker was elected to be the vice president. shyt wouldn't get me pumped either.

They have this expectation that any black candidate is gonna move folks like Obama. Obama is a once in a generation candidate. In the last 60 years only 3 candidates for the Democrats have had that rock star power.

JFK, Clinton and Obama. That it!!!

But the dems keep trotting out all these folks expecting they gonna be the next superstar.

She's an AKA that went to Howard you don't think that she has ever stepped in her life?

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
ANY CAC PRESIDENTS
DOING ANY FRAT GREEK shyt TO PANDER TO CACS GOOFY?

WITH CACS GOOFY?

What the hell are you talking about? Posting a picture of a former AKA that went to Hampton stepping/marching is the dumbest way to discredit her blackness.

Everybody is black. I’m done fighting it.

 

[Voice of Reason]

If this is not your argument than fine.
But what I'm countering is that this means nothing in the grand scheme of things when you don't consider their foundations.

When I look at Obama vs. Kamala this is what I see...

Vs.

Based off of their backgrounds, to me, Barack's marriage to Michelle seems to have been pure luck. Because his background had him on track to marry a white woman.

And If Kamala's marriage disqualifies her in many people's eyes, fine I get that. But to make the argument that it makes her culturally inauthentic, you have to explain this....

Yeah posting pictures of her dancing with black women is the dumbest way to discount her.

Mike Pence just gave a rambling non-answer on whether it's harder for black Americans - CNNPolitics


Mike Pence says 'all lives matter' when asked repeatedly to say 'Black lives matter' - CNNPolitics


Pence: People Talk Too Much About Police Racism



Just so you guys know... this is our current VP


We do a GREAT job of demonizing certain people, but we gotta also look at the alternative (and actually the incumbent).


Don’t like Kamala...cool. Don’t like Biden... cool. But don’t forget to be extremely critical of those in office.


And those of you “on the fence” or influential, don’t get caught up in reading articles with particular slants. Kamala’s record is horrible, she has a LOT of atonement she needs to do. But don’t let that wash over you without finding abhorrent policies and rhetoric from her opposition

So you are not going to mention that Biden and Harris are former prosecutors? Do you really think that they are not in that "all lives matter crowd"?

Have you actually sat down and looked at the laws Joe Biden sponsored while in the senate? The shyt he was responsible for while there is literally everything that Black people and legal scholars complain about, including sentencing disparities between rock and powder cocaine; civil forfeitures; mandatory minimums, militarized police; private prisons, excessive incarceration rates, etc., etc., etc.

What exactly do Black people think their lives are going to be like under Biden? The man was a segregationist for goodness sakes.

Black Men will be blamed for this

Them hit pieces already in draft format breh. Waiting to be released the day after election day.

Kamala Harris is Asian

her dad is Jamaican

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

Yep me and @Get These Nets talked about this earlier this week.

Obama being tied to black movers and shakers, black politicians and community folks in chicago (through michelle and her family name opening doors for him) made him thoro.

He was tight with wright, pfleger and other community activist. Plus he had a name in chicago and folks knew about him in the streets.

As I mentioned before the main thing that hurt kamala is she is a prosecutor and been a politician for years. Obama literaly had no dirt on him entering the Senate.

 

[Originalman]

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..

This is very true. Folks forget how obama had to literally talk to white unions leaders in the midwest during 2008 to get the vote.

No let’s not downplay it. It plays a factor.

had Obama married a blonde white woman, he doesn’t galvanise the black vote the way he did.

their are fair question marks over both of their ties to the black American majority. Neither are African American. Obama at least has an African American family and wife. a proper brown wife too. Which helps.

Then she’s a cop. A tough on crime cop. One that locked up parents for truancy. It all feeds together.

 

[Originalman]

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.

All this and it just wasn't michelle being on his side. She and her family name is what opened all the doors for him in chicago in the first place.

Michelle and her family knew all those black politicians and black movers and shakers in chicago.
