Kamala: "If I were male..."
-
The New York Times chivalrously defended Kamala today with a lengthy story on her vice presidency. The spin is Biden used her to get elected and now wishes to discard her.
Duh.
Paragraph 13 caught my eye, "Ms. Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, all of whom were white and male. She also has confided in them about the difficulties she is facing with the intractable issues in her portfolio, such as voting rights and the root causes of migration. The White House has pushed back against scathing criticism on both fronts, for what activists say is a lack of attention."
True.
Spiro Agnew never made the cover of Vogue.

Imagine being born a woman of color in America and having nothing to show for it other than being Vice President of the country.
As a white male, I accept the fact that I have certain privileges and rights that no Vice President of the United States can ever hope to have.

Well, in respect to the current VP, you can pee standing up.

If Kamala were male, then the news coverage about Willie Brown would be very different, too.

LOL
As a white male, it sure is annoying I don't have any acceptable race/gender excuses to blame when something in my life is difficult.
