Sen. Kamala Harris speaks at the Alpha Kappa Alpha South Central Regional Conference in New Orleans in April 2019.Sen. Kamala Harris speaks at the Alpha Kappa Alpha South Central Regional Conference in New Orleans in April 2019.Sen. Kamala Harris holds two historic titles as the first Asian American and the first Black woman to sit on a major party's presidential ticket.
"It's not happenstance that all of a sudden we're talking about Black women in 2020. And it wasn't that we started talking about Black women just in 2008, which is another narrative that I find extraordinarily frustrating. Black women have been at the helm of Democratic organizing and Democratic politics for generations," Smooth said.
And Harris' candidacy is a recognition of their political force, she agreed, in addition to a recognition of Harris' qualifications as a candidate. The"Divine Nine" refers to the nine organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council of historically Black sororities and fraternities. Though Black women have been overlooked, she said — for example in the suffrage movement 100 years ago — Black women fought then as well, but they didn't end up winning the right to vote themselves.
Glbt is 9 million votes
Maybe she's referring to Antifa? DefundNPR
There is no Black woman without the Black family. Black families are men, women, & children. Stop trying to destroy us. ADOS🇺🇸
shes not even black lmao
There's no POLICY for Black Women.
Cool. Cool cool cool cool
For 4 years you made our lives miserable & sabotage Trump's presidency in revenge because you lost. I did not vote for Trump and I did not vote for you cause you just like Biden ARE NOT INCLUDING! 47% of the citizens despise republicans and democrats both.
calling pretty much the figurehead of the prison industrial complex a representative of “black women as a political force” is actually really fucking condescendingly racist of you holy shit
sethacohen33 This is NPR acting like corporate media. Harris is an awful candidate and her being uplifted is more about erasing the black community as a whole than anything else. She is not now nor will ever be my sister.
IndKingCountyWA I thought she got her start by being a politician’s mistress? Nothing more than a “narcissistic loony tune”!
Why doesn’t she run as have Indian? Because there is no advantage to it ..but playing the race card
Kamala Harris tried to have an innocent person executed. Stop trying to make us worship politicians!
In the last 4 months the WalkAway from the Democrats Campaign has had over 120 thousand people join. they are now well over 800 thousand and growing. Most of them are fed up with the Dem's and crap like this
Black woman here. Voting Trump
“And it has often been Black women in particular in leadership roles to fill those gaps and to engage politically.”
Y’all are hurting yourselves with this dishonest blatant “black girl magic” pandering. We as a black community rejected her when she tried to run this same play for during her presidential campaign. She’s only a black woman when convenient
Can you get them to STOP having babies they cant afford too ? Thanks....
Protect Black Women at All Cost!
SHE'S A FUCKING FRAUD. ' I BELIEVE THE WOMEN, UNLESS IT STANDS IN MY WAY.'
💪
I can not believe that I donated to you what a joke you've become.
I just heard Sen Lankford on NPR talking about the USPS/DeJoy & I gotta say- in the bullsh1t dept., he's the tops!
Kamala Harris throwing black men in prison by the thousands & then extending their sentences so the state of CA could use them for cheap labor. Yeah, ok.
Here’s something I don’t understand that hopefully someone can explain. It’s considered white privilege not to wonder if you were a diversity hire yet a diversity hire was specifically demanded for VP. Is there a way to jibe those two seemingly conflicting ideas?
Except for the fact she’s not black.
Good grief. If that is her primary qualification isn’t that racism?
roflmfao... Harris was chosen by the DNC because of her gender, and her color. Not her qualifications. What a joke the Dems have become. This...is what they think we want? This is nothing but political bullshit.
Is she black today or Indian?
I wonder why Hillary or Barack didn't pick a black female vp.
🤮
Typical democrat 'minority'
