Kamala!

[Rainman]

I'll note the date and time, when "African American" is dropped for "black."
ABC news tonight was using the label African American before their clip of her Jamaican father and Asian mother.
I wonder if that distinction will matter to people of color? I've mentioned a time when the distinction of African American or Black was a huge deal, to people with dark skin that were part of a committee meeting. As a white guy, I was stumbling with WTF am I suppose to do now? It's like being forced to take sides when I'm not even really in the distinction to begin with.

Trump's first response was to mention Pocahontas. I burst out laughing, and thanked ABC news.

Kamala!:

I think most everyone can say the same thing, just depends on how many generations back one goes.

Maybe that's not quite as amazing as that very person making political hay of the idea that America is oppressive and stacked against people like her.

I really didn't want to see the words "chafed" and "Kamala" in the same sentence, but....

if I blew my way to the top I'd want to keep it private too.

Just thinking about all the recipients in power using that power that kept them from being incels.

You have no idea.

How true is this?

[Jolly]

Do keep up.

It's been a public story since the Dem primaries. And before.

[Mik]

Who cares about truth anymore? Certainly not Kamala if you saw her during the Kavanaugh lynching hearings.

[George K]

Axlerod claims that Kamala was not Biden's first pick - he would have chosen Whitmer (sp?) of Michigan or Fauxachontas.

But Harris ticked the right checkmark, female (Can I say that?) and mullato African American black Black.

[Mik]

Whitmer would have been a better choice. Not sure about Warren.

[Mik]

Will black Americans see Harris as 'authentically' black? A prosecutor? I have my doubts, and she has a whole lot of nasty statements shes going to have to walk back awkwardly from the primaries, which is going to give her huge credibility problems.
