Kamala Harris Says America Hasn’t Yet Had an Honest Conversation about Race
National Review ^ | March 11, 2019 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 03/11/2019 10:54:36 AM PDT by C19fan

Making the click-through worthwhile: Presidential candidate Kamala Harris laments that the country has not had an honest conversation about race for a long time, Does the 2020 Democratic crew sound like a return to normalcy? Last week, Kamala Harris declared, “For too long, frankly in our country, for too long we have not had these honest discussions about race. We’ve just not.”

.....................................................

Really? After Charlottesville, Ferguson, Baltimore’s riots, Ralph Northam, Jussie Smollett, Roseanne Barr, Kanye West’s various rants, Philando Castile, #BlackLivesMatter, the Dallas police shootings, the Charleston church shooting, the removal of the Confederate flag from South Carolina state-capitol grounds, Laquan McDonald, Eric Garner, Rachel Dolezal, former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and arguments about subconscious bias and Starbucks’ #RaceTogether campaign and microaggressions, the regular controversies about associations with Louis Farrakhan, the arguments about Harvard’s admissions standards and Asian-Americans . . . in Harris’ eyes, this country still hasn’t had an honest discussion about race?

Any time a Leftie spots "conversation" we all know it is a synonym for a lecture. This might be the Wokest election ever.

They’ve been boring me with the “honest” conversations about race for several decades. I have an idea: Shut up.

Hey Kamala, America is sick of talking about race and we all know you want to keep the conversation going because it’s your industry.

And that’s because the left screams racism when the right brings up crime, poverty, and incarceration rates.

Also out-of-wedlock births and welfare. If you speak of those topics you must remember: TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

Well, we certainly haven’t had an honest conversation about your Indian/Jamaican heritage yet, Ms. Harris.

The very first real conversation was the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

The second conversation was when Lincoln freed the slaves after a lot of white guys died in the Civil War.

Kamala Harris defends the Smollett hoax because Smollett is black. Kamala Harris defends riots because and only when rioters are black. Kamala Harris handwaves about rape when the rapist is black. Kamala Harris is a racist and unfit for office. There's some honesty.

Yes, the problem of men being inseminators rather than fathers, and women permitting it, must not be spoken.

Before we can have a debate we need to define one thing:

Who is “black?”

What is the genetic marker for “black?”

Does 1/1024th “black” make a person “black?”
