Kamala Harris Didn't Lose, America Lost

 I don't know who wrote this,,,but this captures my feelings exactly right now...

“Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.

 As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet. 

It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.

 I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.

 I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation. I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever. 

 We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be. 

There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow (or a few days from now!) and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will. 

I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me. I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.” 

Me: Madam Vice President Kamala Harris, TRULY EXTRAORDINARY.

Kamala ran a good race. She made us feel proud and she represented in honor, dignity and respect. We all must keep standing tall and do the right thing.

Anniversary of The March On Washington-

 AUGUST 28th 1963

On this day, 61 years ago...People of all races and religions gathered in Washington D.C. to demand the right to vote, full and fair employment , civil rights and an assortment of other things... 

My only surviving Aunt on my mother's side was at that March...(Vivian Lanier, who turned 100 in April)

 I imagine most of the people at that march are now deceased.. but I can never forget what they were marching for... They were marching for me!

 I was 5 years old at the time of that March...I hadn't even started Kintergarden yet....I probably was not even aware of such a momentous occasion....but I am now....and every time I vote...Every time I exercise my right to vote...I'm doing it for them...All of those folk who sacrificed a day in their lives for me..

Never forget their sacrifice...Take Voting seriously....because they did!

(Oh and for the record, Trump didn't have a bigger crowd than this!)

Stop Trump

 

It can't be stated any plainer than this.

Harris /Walz- 2024 Let's Go!

 

IS DEI the new way to say Nigger?

 I'm just going to put it out there..All of these people, White Republicans who are calling Kamala a "DEI" candidate and "Dumb as a box of rocks" are using the term "DEI" just like they used the term "Woke"as a way to say "Nigger" without saying it... It's their socially acceptable way of saying "Nigger" which is what they really want to say.  I'll not sugar coat it.

In the first full day of her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris swiftly earned enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination and raised a historic $81 million. And yet, less than 24 hours after Harris formally launched her bid for the White House, some Republicans zeroed in on a line of attack: her race.

In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju Monday, Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett suggested President Joe Biden selected Harris as his running mate solely because she is Black: “One hundred percent she is a DEI hire,” he said, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion. “Her record is abysmal at best.” 

 It’s a familiar strategy to political analysts who say Burchett’s comments echo tactics Republicans used during the 2008 election to drive the conspiracy around Barack Obama’s birthplace, and caution that it could be a sign of what’s to come along the already turbulent road to Election Day. “There’s been this constant debate about mediocrity versus meritocracy. The truth is for most of American history, White men were the only people who were ever considered, it didn’t matter if they were mediocre,” said Democratic strategist Keith Boykin, who likened this moment to the Republican “Southern Strategy” of the 1960s, where politicians relied on racial grievance to drive White voters to the polls.

“(Meritocracy) became a part of the conversation when Black people, and women, and people of color and queer people started to enter into the workforce and society in public ways. And suddenly there became this assumption that anybody who wasn’t a straight White man didn’t deserve to be there.” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson later addressed Burchett’s remarks during a news conference Tuesday, calling for the election to be about “policies, not personalities.” “This is not personal, with regard to Kamala Harris, and her ethnicity or her gender had nothing to do with this whatsoever. This is about who can deliver for the American people and get us out of the mess that we’re in.”

The backlash to Burchett’s remarks was swift, with many noting that the suggestion Harris could somehow be unqualified or mediocre because of her race traded on familiar racist tropes about women of color – especially Black women – in the workplace.

Before becoming the vice president, Harris had a decades-long career as a prosecutor and was elected to be San Francisco’s district attorney and later California’s attorney general. She then won California’s 2016 US Senate race, becoming the state’s first Black and South Asian senator before being elected vice president in 2020. But Harris’ experience doesn’t appear to matter to those who would rather rely on identity politics to sway voters, said Boykin, co-founder of the National Black Justice Coalition and author of the book “Why Does Everything Have to Be About Race?”

 “(Obama) was a United States senator, a former state senator and a constitutional scholar and a best-selling author and they claimed he wasn’t qualified. But then they picked Donald Trump, who had no experience in government, and they don’t even say anything about his qualifications,” Boykin said.

 “Kamala Harris, who was a former district attorney, former attorney general, former United States senator and current vice president is a ‘DEI hire’ in their minds, just because she’s a Black woman,” he said. “I mean, you couldn’t get more transparent than that.” Burchett’s comments “have turned the value of diversity into a slur,” Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina Democratic state representative and a CNN political commentator, told CNN’s Jim Acosta. “I’m not sure people are really prepared to see what this campaign is going to be and the depths of hell that many Republicans are going to go to, to sully the spirit and soul of Kamala Harris, not knowing that she’s the fighter that she is.”

Continued attacks on Harris’ race or gender could ultimately backfire against Republicans, according to Glynda Carr, president of Higher Heights for America, a political organization dedicated to engaging Black women in politics. 

 In the 72 hours since Biden endorsed Kamala Harris to replace him on the top of the Democratic ticket, Black women and men across the country have rallied around her candidacy. Tens of thousands of Black Americans joined Zoom calls Sunday and Monday to unite around the campaign to #winwithBlackwomen and #winwithBlackmen. 

Collectively, the calls raised more than $2.8 million dollars for Harris, according to organizers. Burchett’s remarks are “energizing the very voters that Vice President Kamala Harris needs to win,” Carr said. “She is a woman who has run and won and governed on every level of government and is credentialed from her academic background to her lived experiences. So, continue to push that rhetoric and see how women, women of color, and Black women react … and how we will organize against that very destructive and false narrative.”

 Ultimately, Boykin said, Harris’ record speaks for itself and any suggestion that she’s a “DEI hire” is a distraction. “It’s easy to point the finger at immigrants, at Black people, at women … or anybody who is different instead of dealing with the issues that they’re elected to solve,” Boykin said. “How does attacking Kamala Harris as a ‘DEI hire’ help to create a single job? How does it tackle inflation? … It’s this divide and conquer mentality that they are going to use to prevent us from coming together.” Harris appeared undeterred by the remarks during her first presidential campaign rally Tuesday afternoon in Milwaukee. Instead, as she reintroduced herself to the nation for the first time as the Democratic Party’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, the vice president touted her experience as both a prosecutor and a politician. 

 “In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds, predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So, hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type,” Harris said to a swell of cheers. “And in this campaign, I promise you I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week.”

Good for her!   And let's see, who is the REAL DEI candidate...The Rich Boy born with a gold spoon in his mouth with no experience.
