Racism Made Kamala the Candidate and Cost Dems the White House
FrontPage Magazine ^ | Aug 7 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

“I watched the black-white stuff start on Thursday night.”

In the 2024 election, Barack Obama found himself in the unexpected position of fighting against the rise of the second black president. Opposing him was nearly every black Democrat, from Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped put Biden in the White House in exchange for promises to appoint a black woman as his VP and to the Supreme Court, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who were determined to make Kamala the candidate.

Biden’s debate collapse had created a historic moment of the worst possible kind. Dems needed to oust the man at the top of their ticket before his nomination could be confirmed and pick a replacement. Obama wanted a mini-primary process to pick his chosen candidate, but virtually every other powerful black Democrat wanted to rubber stamp Kamala for the position.

Kamala had desperately wanted to become the next Obama and had obsessively pursued Obama’s approval, but despite the similarities in their backgrounds, both were the children of radical academics and absent foreign fathers, raised in an atmosphere of privilege before learning to blow racial dog whistles to win over black voters and guilty white liberals, he had remained cool to her. Kamala had been far more interested in Obama than he was in her.

And that had not changed just as Kamala was on the verge of following in his footsteps.

Obama could see the disaster coming a while away. Kamala was unpopular, as bad a speaker as her boss, lacked charisma and had no appeal to voters, from his perspective, she had nothing in common with him other than their tentative racial identification, but he was unable to convince top black Democrats who may have had their own private doubts about Kamala’s political skills, but were not about to pass up the opportunity of a second black president.

Kamala’s appointment, or at least that of a black VP, had been the promise they secured from Biden, and with the old white guy on his last political legs, they were determined to cash it in.

Even as the fallout grew from Biden’s debate performance, ‘Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House‘ revealed that Congressional Black Caucus members “laid down a marker: if Biden exited the race, they would accept no option other than Vice President Kamala Harris”.

Racial tensions exploded among Democrat insiders right after the debate. “I watched the black-white stuff start on Thursday night,” an elected official recalled.

Democrats picked Kamala as their vice presidential and presidential candidate for the wrong reason. The resulting political disaster had less to do with Biden’s health than their racism.

Interesting take on the Biden - Harris switcheroo. Who knew, even blacks can be racist ...

It HAD to be someone “black” (which Kamela wasn’t but could fake) or someone gay; both would be even better.

His quote “don’t underestimate Joe Biden’s ....” rang true.

“””In the 2024 election, Barack Obama found himself in the unexpected position of fighting against the rise of the second black president. “””

The second FAKE black resident. Kamala is not black and neither is hussein, he is mulatto.

mulatto /moo͝-lăt′ō, -lä′tō, myoo͝-/
noun

A person of mixed white and black ancestry, especially one having one white and one black parent.

The best the CBC could do was to support Harris? What a bunch of losers.

This article highlights how the Democrats are completely focused on identity. They were unable to look past Harris’ skin color to assess her deep flaws as a candidate. And I’m glad they did!

“raised in an atmosphere of privilege before learning to blow “
“Kamala had been far more interested in Obama than he was in her.”
The jokes just write themselves with this bunch. Of course Obama wasn’t interested in her, he’s as gay as they get.

My impression was time and money were key factors in going with Harris. Maybe both could be overcome but once Biden endorsed Harris it set things on a path to Harris becoming the nominee despite Obama. It took him a few days before he would endorse her. That was probably when all this was going on. May they continue to flounder is all I can say.

What an easy excuse! Most of us judged her on her cackling and inability to hold one substantive interview during her campaign. And of course, the many word salads she served up.

Just seeing Trump out there every day and the detailed knowledge he has on virtually every subject tells us we’ve made the right decision! And he is proactive, initiating so many needed changes and getting new investments for our country. And he seems to be seeking out peace throughout the world! He is someone of profound substance and of competency, not of giggles and DEI.

I never heard the word biracial before the Kenyan half-breed got elected. Then all of a sudden being biracial became hot and in.
Being biracial was tough living in two worlds, but after Obama this changed.

One example, in advertisements you see biracial children with long kinky hair that is blonde. A popular trope. All of Robert DeNiro’s children are biracial. Most are half-black, but his latest one is half Chinese.

IMO the election was orchestrated and the Dem wasn’t meant to win.

The entire democratic party leadership knew Biden had a scull full of mush. Why debate Trump pre convention? Why did his campaign and his closest aids agree to it? Why agree to a debate at all?

Yes note the media always use the race issue when anything bad happens but never if it’s a person of color does it.

Another part of the reeducation agenda.

I think you mean dot Indians and not feather Indians, right? If so, I’d agree. Racists gotta race bait. It is in their DNA.
