A Black patriarchy has never existed in America.
It baffles me that many of us don't see the social and political significance of having the first woman president. Don't we have mothers sisters and daughters?
I voted for Obama just off the strength that we had 43 white male presidents in a row. Let's upset the status quo. You know how mad the white men will be if a black woman becomes president!!!!!
Some of you are twisting yourselves in knots coming up with the dumbest reasons knot to vote for the sister. And yes she is a sister fuck all the bullshit. Haircuts cost to much under biden, the haitan immigrants took my bitch blah blah blah.
Get up stand up and get the white man off your neck. How the hell could you possibly vote for your own subjugation. I hated to have to vote for biden but I didn't have a black choice. Now I have a black choice how the hell could I vote for the white guy and look myself in the mirror.
Knowing that if Trump wins all the smiles on all the white racist faces across America. He beat that black woman good. Ya'll would be happy with that bullshit.
I think a lot of ya'll don't trust your own blackness. It shows.

I asked you first...stop being scared to engage meaningfully on a question...
at least @Supersav , @Soul On Ice and @xfactor will answer a direct question...you either avoid it or answer with a question...
Your questions are biased, speculative, unfocused, and generally irrelevant, but here ya go:
- "She declares ADOS a protected group............What do you think the social/political ramifications would be??"
- Who cares as long as we get it?
- Who cares as long as we get it?
- "And you are aware that if a president can do something by executive decision then the next president can revoke it the same way. You are aware that republicans got affirmative action and abortion banned right?"
- So because the next president has the ability to reverse or revoke a previous EO is a good reason for a current president to not sign one in the first place? What president in history has ever governed by this logic? And the Supreme Court ended affirmative action and abortion, and I don't give a fuck about either of those issues but they either don't benefit Black ADOS people and/or, in the case of abortion, are actively destructive to us.
SAY IT LOUD, I'M................................................................................
LOL Ya'll gonna have to explain yourselves to your ancestors in the after life. They gonna look at you clowns like you really forgot about slavery huh. You forgot whiteman stole your whole existence. But you still got his back huh. LOL sad as fuck
SAY IT LOUD, I'M................................................................................
So you ignore her black Dad huh. LOL twisted yourself in a pretzel to go whitey.
But is she Black though?
"He hailed from a well-off family of landowners and entrepreneurs in the Jamaican community known as Orange Hill, about a 60 mile drive northwest of Kingston. The Harris family owned a supermarket and other stores in nearby Brown’s Town, whose Irish founder, Hamilton Brown, held over 100 people in slavery and is believed in Harris family lore to be an ancestor."

There’s One Main Culprit if Donald Trump Wins

The Electoral College. White racism. Black sexism. President Biden.
Should Kamala Harris lose the presidential election next month, those will be among the more convenient excuses Democrats will offer for falling short in a race against a staggeringly flawed, widely detested opponent. There will also be whispers that she was not the strongest candidate in the first place — that the party would have done better to elevate a more natural political talent like Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania or Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.
There’s truth in all of it. But it lets off the hook the main culprit: the way in which leading liberal voices in government, academia and media practice politics today. Consider its main components.
The politics of condescension, typified by Barack Obama’s suggestion this month that Black men might be reluctant to vote for Harris because they “just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” But perhaps those men are responding to something more mundane: Median weekly wages for full-time Black workers rose steeply during Donald Trump’s presidency and essentially stagnated under Biden, according to data from the St. Louis Fed. Why reach for the insulting explanation when a rational one will do?
The politics of name-calling, which happens every time Trump’s voters are told they are racists, misogynists, weird, phobic, low-information or, most recently, supporters of a fascist — and, by implication, fascists themselves. Aside from being gratuitous and self-defeating — what kind of voter is going to be won over by being called a name? — it’s also mostly wrong. Trump’s supporters overwhelmingly are people who think the Biden-Harris years have been bad for them and the country. Maybe liberals should try to engage the argument without belittling the person.
The politics of gaslighting, exemplified by all the MSNBC talking heads who repeatedly vouched for Biden’s mental acuity, when, as Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota has acknowledged, the president’s decline has been obvious for years. Now some of the same pundits are extolling Harris as brilliant and experienced, which may be true but is hardly evidenced by her seeming inability to move beyond a limited set of talking points or the fact that it’s difficult to think of a political or legislative accomplishment of which she was the prime mover.
The politics of highhandedness. Do liberals really believe there are no lingering resentments over the fact that Harris secured her nomination through the immediate endorsement of party grandees without winning a single primary or facing a single challenger? Most Democrats seem fine with it, but this is a race in which the votes of skeptical independents may count more than ever. A Democratic Party that claims to be defending democracy without bothering to practice it is not going to endear itself to voters it needs to win.
The politics of Pollyanna, brought to you by the things-have-never-been-better crowd. They are the people who told us that inflation was (a) good for you, (b) transitory or (c) over and forgotten or who think a lower rate of inflation somehow relieves the legacy of higher prices and interest rates. They are the people who argued there was no immigration crisis and then crowed that it was safely behind us. They are the ones who insist crime is under control while ignoring the fact that people’s sense of everyday safety keeps getting worse, thanks to skyrocketing rates of car theft, shoplifting, open-air drug use, public defecation and other quality-of-life crimes. Wouldn’t it be better to meet voter concerns rather than tell them they’re seeing ghosts?
The politics of selective fidelity to traditional norms. Liberals fear, with reason, the threat Trump poses to the institutional architecture of American government. Yet many of the same Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court, eliminate the Senate filibuster, get rid of the Electoral College, give federal agencies the right to impose eviction moratoriums and forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student debt without the consent of Congress. They decry Trump’s assaults on the news media while cheering the Biden administration’s attempt to strong-arm media companies into censoring opinions it disliked. And they warn of Trump’s efforts to criminalize his political opponents, even as they celebrate criminalizing him. Hypocrisy of this sort doesn’t go unnoticed by people not fully in the tank for Harris.
The politics of identity over class. Harris began her presidential campaign by consciously and correctly leaning away from the type of identity politics that has obsessed Democrats for too long. But as soon as she realized her approval among Black men was alarmingly soft, she rolled out a financial giveaway plan exclusively geared for them.
Why could it not at least have been for all workers below a certain income threshold — one that might have disproportionately helped Black men without the naked racial pander? When well-educated liberals sometimes stoop to notice that the Democratic Party is increasingly forsaking its working-class roots, this is a good illustration of how it happened.It remains perfectly possible that Harris will win the election, in which case we will hear a great deal about the brightness of her appeal and the brilliance of her campaign. Wiser liberals might want to press two questions: How did Trump still get so very, very close? And how can we fashion a liberalism that doesn’t turn so many ordinary people off?

They should look at themselves and the way they practice politics.
The fact that you think voting and electing for Obama upset the status quo says everything.
Pathetic! Worse than the Al Green shit. Pandering nonsense and he’s 20 years behind. What is it with so many of them rapping Em lyrics, when he made some of the most sociopathic music out there? Vivek was doing it too.
You know this is not Nas the rapper right? It's just some random guy on twitter.
Her Black cousins won't be making policy decisions, so their appearance isn't necessary.
Who the fuck said it was Nas?!? People have all kinds of handles on Twitter!! Maybe you need to go back to your rape fantasies and stay your silly-ass out of political threads!
You missed the point. Her Black cousins don't exist!!
What does this mean for you?
There is no point here.
The fact you don't think the first black president was important says everything. If you are black you don't love yourself.
No, there is a very serious point here. You have Temujin in here right now swearing by her "Blackness" and anyone critiquing her has "forgotten about slavery" when she has no Black heritage of any stripe on her mother's side of the family, her supposedly Black heritage on her father's side is suspect, and she is a descendant of slave-owners on BOTH sides of her family!
It wasn't important..it did nothing to help black people. The imagery was bullshit. Little black boys can not grow up to become president of this country...Obama didn't grow up as a little black boy..he was raised by his white granny and cracker mom
Got it, she is not black, she is not one of use so Trump it is then.
The first black president was Thomas Jefferson.
Your comment is why there really is not a concern to me about the uproar in education because people don’t know history under the current system anyway.
Considering the average African American is about 20% European and in many cases more, many of us are the descendants of slave-owners on both sides of our family.
Got it, your weak-ass argument fell flat on its face, you have no objective retort so you'll tag anyone as a "Trumper" instead, and now you'll go back to posting rape fantasies.
I had a feeling you would say this. How many inherited land and wealth from those white slave-owners?
What's there to argue? Whether she is a descendant of Shaka Zulu or Ghandi makes no difference to me nor would it affect my vote.
OK so why are you in this conversation?
Once Trump is back in office are you going to leave the USA?
Because you made a idiotic post from some random person on twitter as if you are trying to convince someone not to support Kamala because she is not "black".
