American Thinker: Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris to be his running mate shows the shallowness of the Democrats’ talent pool. Biden handicapped himself by explicitly pledging to ignore men and then implicitly bowing to the demand that his female choice be black. However, it’s still somewhat shocking that, out of all the black, female, Democrat politicians in America, the best he could do was Kamala.
What’s most striking about Kamala is that, like Barack Obama, she has nothing in common with the American black experience. Despite her slamming the race card on the table, the only thing she shares with the generic “black vote” is skin color.
Kamala did not come from a family that has traveled through generations of the American black experience. There’s no history of Southern slavery, no Reconstruction, and no being part of the endless variety of post-Reconstruction stories. Some blacks struggled through the Jim Crow South, some reveled in the Harlem Renaissance, some roped cows in the Wild West, some were part of the single biggest American migration when they moved to the upper Midwest, some embraced the middle class, and some got sucked into the undertow of the underclass. Each is an American story.
Kamala’s bio, by contrast, brings her closer to me: like me, she’s a first-generation immigrant who is the child of very educated parents (although her upbringing was more affluent than mine). Her mother is a high-caste East Indian breast cancer scientist, while her father is a Jamaican-born economist who is an emeritus professor at Stanford. Like me, Kamala grew up in liberal enclaves that were anything but racist (although Kamala also spent many years growing up outside the U.S. in Montreal).
Other than that, the only differences are that her skin is dark and she’s a leftist, while my skin is light and I’m conservative. And I never slept my way to the middle the way she did. But other than that…
It’s purely cosmetic to boast to black Americans that Kamala’s place on the ticket represents the African-American experience. It doesn’t because she isn’t — and blacks have noticed: more here
So the “anti-racist”, “anti-sexist” party picked a VP candidate based on her sex and skin color. If it weren’t for double standards . . . “you know the thing.”
I would love to see Ben Carson hit the campaign trail with Trump–he’s more representative of the typical American black-experience than she is.
The only thing I can figure iz that democRATs were tired of hearing that their ticket just couldn’t suck enough, so they change all that by picking her!
It is hard to take them seriously. Bidum is such a loser. And Kamel is such a creature. Has there ever been a worse Veep candidate? I had to google to find the last one was “Kaine”. At least Kaine carried his own swing state. Kamel wont even help there, since Calif is blue anyway. And I guess we are beyond caring about NBC status, since it seems Kamel was never naturalized, nor were her parents.
And to even imagine their platform! High taxes, no police, fake green energy, unlimited poor immigrants, on and on craziness.
And now this idiot wanna be President wants all Americans to be required to mandatorily wear masks covering our faces outdoors for the next 3 months. Kiss my ass joey, take this stupid ungodly, unconstitutional idea and shove it up your ass. Wearing a friggin mask outdoors doesn’t make me patriotic or virtuous, it just makes me a slave of the state. I am not a fuckin sheeple.
The one side od her mask says Head, does the other side say “Free”?
I’m White so that makes me racist, but I can honestly say I’ve never voted for anyone because they are White, but most blacks can’t say that. They voted lock step for Obama simply because he looked like them, not because of his accomplishments. And, that’s likely how most will vote now; just for the prospect Harris will be POTUS.
Kalamity be a Jamacindian.
Biden said he would choose a black woman to be his running mate. She’s a worse excuse for being black than Obama the half black. The Dems are doing everything they can to appease the black community but are too afraid to pick a true black woman. She might be too radical after all and not as pretty and snifable and not as smart as the black Kamala. Calling your self black when your not is as raciest as wearing black face makeup. And Joe is just lying again as usual.
Can’t wait to hear him call her, you know the thing!
oh well, at least heels-up harris will not have to fuck her way to a job since old pedo-joe likes his girls MUCH younger, but I guess he draws the line at her being sniffable…. i wonder if she still smells like willie?
She is Jamacin me Crazy.
She is prime bona fide democrat material: slimy, slippery, disingenuous, fake, phony, shallow, two-faced, self-serving and more.
I call her Kameleon Harris.
In the election for California AG she defeated Republican Cooley:
On election night, November 2, 2010, Cooley declared victory, but mail-in and provisional ballots remained uncounted, with the lead changing four times. On November 24, as the count advanced, Harris led by more than 55,000 votes. Cooley conceded the next day.[103]
Something smells bad…she pulled a victory out of the terlet.
