Black Excellance
fair enough point
And you're right. Probably not.
But I don't think they would have said he's not black
I think back to the Nate Parker situation when his movie was about to drop, and his past regarding a rape came up. White people held off casting judgement initially. If you remember, they didn't jump on him right away. What made them go at him eventually is when Black women on social media gave them the green light. The reason those women gave the okay, was because they were in their feelings over Parker being married to a white woman. If Parker had been married to a Black woman, they would have had his back.
That said, regarding Obama, had he been married to a white woman, Black women would have rejected him. A large portion of Black women didn't vote for Obama based on his politics or views. They voted for him because he fit a certain ideal that they dream of. They see themselves as being accepted when viewing Barrack's successful marriage with Michelle Obama. A lot of these women will never get married, will be single mothers, will not ever have children, will be gamed on by numerous men throughout their sexual prime years, etc.. The irony is Obama campaigned with a slogan based on "hope". That's exactly what a lot Black women looking at his marriage needed. It's no coincidence now that he's gone and Trump is in office, the current narrative on social media is Black men being the weakest link. They lost hope.
Just threw Harold under the bus.Without michelle and them kids Obama would have been Harold Ford Jr. hopes and dreams of being president and never being full field.
Black Excellance
Nope. Michelle is what drew a lot of us to him. And he genuinely seemed more connected to our culture or at least tried to. I don’t see Kamala as black the way I saw Obama. I think it’s because of her fake pandering and how disconnected she’s seemed from the black experience and our culture.
And I know some black women that like me, are also suspicious of her. Anyway because of how disconnected she is I foresee that she will continue the “all lives matter” and focus more on illegal immigration and lgbta than on AA’s, let alone the bw who largely supported her and see her as one of us.
My sister sees her as a black woman, and is extremely excited about her being the VP. Kamala is AKA and my sister is too. She connects with her in that way. I know a few Howard alums who connect with Kamala based off that. She looks like a light skinned bw, been playing Mary J blige and wearing timbs—so more connect with her now smh.
I understand why bm don’t support-they can’t connect with her. Especially with her history.
Kamala doesnt look Indian though and many whites see her as black. When we look at it that way, I think the fact that we are ushering in another biracial black person into the office, who is also a woman(the first woman to ever be VP) it does mean something... she did it before a ww could, I know they’re seething and that makes me happy.

Hahahaha
I still remember when he had next.
