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.
