'Tired. Damn tired.' Some Black women are processing the grief of a Kamala Harris loss
NPR WUNC ^ | 11 28 2024 | Sandhya Dirks

Posted on 11/28/2024 8:54:45 AM PST by yesthatjallen

There was a refrain we heard again and again from the seven Black women NPR talked with for this story.

"It is exhausting," says Venita Doggett, who lives in Memphis, Tenn., and works for a nonprofit doing education advocacy.

"We're tired. We're damn tired," another woman told us. She asked NPR not to use her name because she works in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at a public university in Minnesota, and she fears that a lot of people who work in and around DEI are being targeted right now.

This feeling of being under threat as a Black person, as a woman, and especially as a Black woman feels non-stop, she says, even before the presidential election.

"On November 6th, I was exhausted. I didn't realize how much it felt like I was holding my breath."

the difference in those pictures is that the make up artist was paid for the first, not the second.

If someone feels “grief” over one’s candidate losing an election, that person is beyond hope and very much disturbed in the head.

And kamala is not “black.”

Congrats to NPR for finding 7 liberal black women to tote your company line.

Now, in the interest of fair play, find 7 conservative black women and let’s hear their thoughts.

Like THAT’ll ever happen.

And that’s why NPR should be defunded.

“But she asks, who is going to save Black women?”

That says it all. Still not ready to be adults.

When your IQ is around 60, it doesn’t take much to make you “tired.”

“We’re tired. We’re damn tired,” another woman told us.”

Well many black men have flipped their middle finger at the plantation and voted for Trump.
Maybe these black women could learn a thing or two from the men.
Throw off the wicked shackles of victimhood and get a life.

Kamala isn’t a black women she is a pretender.She probably took a spot at Howard University from a real deserving black women that probably didn’t even get to college.

“...This feeling of being under threat as a Black person, as a woman, and especially as a Black woman feels non-stop, she says, even before the presidential election...”

You are not “under threat” because you are a Black woman...It’s because you are a liberal/democrat...

The man, about 78 years old, having to deal with many lawsuits and having to work to become president is the person that might justifiably feel tired.

They seem somehow to have convinced themselves that they above all others have built this country from its birth.
