But her most significant moment came when Dupri asked the question — in a friendly, supportive fashion — during a roundtable discussion at the Gathering Spot, a popular Atlanta business club.

She promised the group that she understood the challenges Black men face and said she’d fight to decriminalize marijuana and press for other overhauls. And she cast her work as San Francisco’s district attorney as an effort to fix an inherently “flawed” system.

“Yes, I was a prosecutor," she said. "I decided to go in a system that I knew was flawed to reform it. Yes, I decided to go up the rough side of the mountain, as we say in church. And I didn’t fix the entire system.”

Wasn’t Kamala Harris known in California as a vicious DA that overwhelming incarcerated black people?

Well, yeah, but she was "going up the rough side of the mountain."

My wife is very worried that the dems might win the election. But look at the crowds where PDJT goes, several thousands. Biden/Harris, a couple of dozens. Compare the enthusiasm. Trumps gets roars of approval, Biden/Harris polite applause at best.

I realize that rally crowd size doesn’t necessarily mean victory, but I find it hard to imagine Biden/Harris winning based on what I’ve seen with my own eyes.

Isn't it racist to assume or associate Black men only with breaking marijuana laws?

” She promised the group that she understood the challenges Black men face...Says the Uber priviledged Indian/Jamaican woman. “

That’s “Uber privileged Indian/Jamican descendant of slaveholders in a skirt” to you.

So which side is Willie Brown’s rough side?

According to the wench Kamala, I would say it’s the lower middle side.

“As we say in church...”. Pandering to blacks, who historically are churched, one way or another. Subtle form of racism, assuming all blacks are brought up in church.

Shanghaied 1500 black men into jail for marijuana use (even while she was using marijuana herself) then laughed about it.

Did they ask her how many innocent Blacks she locked up?

Did they ask her how she could understand anything about the Black community, since she’s not black, but a Hindu?
