Senator Kamala Harris: Vote for Me Or You're Racist
Frontpage ^ | 08-06-2018 | Daniel Greenfield

Obama in a dress is really off to a great start, spending a lot of money on planning her presidential campaign, while strongly hinting that anyone who isn't on board is a racist.

Sen. Kamala Harris accused critics of “identity politics” of weaponizing the term to diminish issues of race, gender and sexual orientation, pressing Democrats on Friday to address those issues head on.

“I have a problem, guys, with that phrase, ‘identity politics,’” Harris told the progressive gathering Netroots Nation, wading into a messaging debate roiling Democrats ahead of the midterm elections. “Because let’s be clear, when people say that, it’s a pejorative. That phrase is used to divide, and it is used to distract. Its purpose is to minimize and marginalize issues that impact all of us. It is used to try and shut us up.”

It took me 56 years and I'm just now finding out I'm a racist?

Who knew?

Yup. We all knew that was coming.

Vote for me because I’m black.

And if you don’t, you’re a racist.

OK fine. So we won’t vote for you. Then what? You arrest us?

IIRC, neither of her parents were citizens when she was born. She can’t legally run. Period.

when did , race , gender , and sexual orientation become governments issues? what about hiways, police, fire, rescue, hospitals.?? ( ok I cave on the race thing, the yankees invaded the south, some say race, slavery, some say ecnoomics.. I say lincoln invaded a separate country to impose his will on the population. he made race the governments business, and they screwed it up)

“Vote for me because I’m black.”

0bama used the same tactic, but he was smart enough not come right out and say it himself, but had his campaign minions and the media say it for him.

Harris is inadvertently admitting that the logical conclusion of identity politics is that stating that all white people are intrinsically and irredeemably racist means that the race card no longer works. If we're all racist no matter what we do, then why do anything?

I doubt that's what she meant, but it's the case. "Racist" as an accusation is becoming as toothless as "hypocrite" did, and for exactly the same reason: the libs practice both while they're accusing their opponents of it.

The word racist has been used so often, by so many in so many inappropriate or incorrect ways that it has come to mean absolutely nothing.

I’ve been called a racist (I’m not) so many times it no longer has any effect. Go ahead and call me a racist. It doesn’t make it so. Unfortunately calling me a billionaire won’t make it so either.....

A vote for her is a vote for Zimbabwe, where whites are murdered by black savages.

sorry kamala- your definition of racist is asinine- We’d vote for someone like Clarence Thomas were he running over you any day- does that still make us racist? Quit yer false accusations and incessant whinin- We don’t like you as a person- We don’t dislike you because you are black!

Put another way, if there's nothing you can do that will make them happy (other than perhaps self-extermination), then you might as well save your time and energy and do nothing at all for them.
