Why young black people like me are feeling let down by Kamala Harris
NY Post ^ | 11/20/21 | Dennis Richmond, Jr.

Posted on 11/20/2021 9:17:46 AM PST by mcenedo

I’m a 26-year-old black New Yorker and I believe in supporting what’s right. That’s why I can’t be silent about Vice President Kamala Harris anymore. Along with 90 percent of black voters, I pulled the lever for Joe Biden in 2020, partly because Harris was on the ticket, and I had high hopes for our first black, female vice president. But now they’re fading fast.

Why did the author, or any of the other individuals in this article, have high hopes for Ms. Harris?

Was there anything she achieved previously in the jobs provided by Willie Brown?

Was it her sterling performance in the Democratic primaries?

That 90% of blacks voted for her provides further evidence that the Bell Curve is in effect.

He’s not a black voter...

He’s an uniformed voter... (or misinformed if you prefer)

The author judged Ms Flatbacker by the color of her skin (not all that black), rather than substance.
Why are American blacks so damned racist? Everything is about race, before any other facts come out.

Your first mistake, son, is defining yourself by the color of your skin.

Have him just get a sign made up that says “Kick me, I’m an idiot,” and wear it on his backside.

Hey Dennis, I didn’t know you were a weak minded, stupid, liability to society. Thanks for letting us know.

So true. The color of the skin is his voter guide. The most prejudiced people on this Earth (Democrats) have succeeded in pulling the wool cap over their eyes.

Voted for her because she is black.
The writer is by definition, a racist.

This is The Left. It’s what they have always been.

They are only at the despair point. I want them at the capitulation and humiliation stage. Just a matter of time before they abandon hope. Can’t see them voting in 2022.

Exactly right.

People need to get over skin color. It only matters to racists who judge people as either Good or Bad based on skin tone. It’s not good to be one of those people.

Voting for someone because of the color of his/her skin is racism - pure and simple. It also requires a great deal of stupidity to think that “this time our skin color choice” will make a positive difference in our lives.
Harris had one job, to handle the border. She’s failed miserably... unless of course the intent was to fundamentally change the racial profile of the USA.
She’s a puppet, O’Biden is a puppet and everything they’re doing is an attempt to destroy the fabric of our country.

First, anyone who votes for someone based on color or gender is an uninformed voter.
Secondly, Kamala really isn’t black. She is Jamaican and Indian mix. Her family were huge slave owners in Jamaica back in the 1600’s. So this writer actually voted for a slave owner descendant.
Third, my late father was right, blacks as a people are easily lead (or mislead).

Even after the facts come out they are racist- in fact, they doub,e down after the facts come out and prove there was no racism, just ,ike in the Chauvin case. No racism, but it became all about race, and they had him convicted before any of the facts even came out, and after they came out proving no racism, they doubled down by calling out the domestic terrorists blm to intimidate and threaten the jury

For the same reason they had high hopes for Obama. They have zero critical thinking skills and cannot assess the ability of the person; all they see is the person’s skin color. It is truly pathetic.

Even more amazing is that they admit that they are so shallow that all they see is skin color, not talent, initiative, drive, ability, past achievements, or any of the other “whitey” skills. If they dug an inch deep, they would have to admit that “whitey” skills are critical to success.

Dennis Richmond had hopes Kamala would put her Heels Up High for him.

Alas, ...

RE: defining skin color....

Obama is half white and half black.

Kamala is half Indian and half black.

With exact and accurate dna testing maybe 45.41% of the author can be let down. Doesn’t sound as bad.

“I’m a 26-year-old black New Yorker and I believe in supporting what’s right...I pulled the lever for Joe Biden in 2020, partly because Harris was on the ticket.”

Voting for people just because they are the same race as you isn’t “supporting what’s right.” Quite the opposite, in fact.
