If President Biden decides not to run after all…

There definitely could be other reasons besides racism. And I agree that some people jump to claiming racism or sexism way too quickly. However, it is a little suspect when someone makes a comment like Haley did and didn’t mention any reasons why a vote for Harris is so bad. Just that it is. And let’s face it, republicans don’t have the best track record when it comes to racism. It came across as a reminder to the base that if Biden is elected and has to step down, just remember who will be taking over…

Exactly.
Especially from a person who sees racism EVERYWHERE including where it doesn't exist. For Jemele to accuse a woman of color of not wanting Kamala as president BECAUSE Kamala is a woman of color is dishonest and beyond moronic.



No, it isn't suspect. Not even a little, teeny, tiny bit.
There's a reason that Kamala's approval rating is so ridiculously low.
There's a reason that her approval rating has dropped even within her own party.
Everyone knows that Kamala is not up for the job of president. She can not even handle the job she's in.
So Nikki Haley knew it didn't need to be spelled out.

People who aren't pushing a racism agenda KNOW why it would be bad for the country to put someone so INCOMPETENT as Kamala, in charge of running the country.
And they know it has absolutely not one damn thing to do with Kamala's skin or her gender.



Not to anyone with the ability to employ logic.

At the 2020 RNC
"I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. They came to America and settled in a small southern town. My father wore a turban. My mother wore a sari. I was a brown girl in a black and white world. We faced discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave into grievance and hate."

"Haley's own race plays a major role in her announcement video — she leads off by talking about her own racial experience in the town of Bamberg, S.C."

hmm. This:


and this:


and this:


don’t seem to go with THIS:

Perhaps the reason Jemele Hill and women like her see racism and sexism where you don’t ever seem to is that they have experienced it so much over the course of their lives. They might find it a little more recognizable than does someone like you, who is trying so hard not to recognize it.

And the subject of my post was actually your hypocrisy. Not real or perceived racism.

What is your definition of racist or bigoted and how does that fit with Jemelle’s statement?

Nikki Haley has not changed her name, Nikki is her middle name. A lot of people go by their middle name because they like it better, it’s easier to pronounce, whatever. I don’t get why people make such a big deal about it. 

Not in this specific instance, it is NOT understandable. Not even one teeny, tiny bit.

There's a reason that Kamala's approval rating is so ridiculously low.
There's a reason that her approval rating has dropped even within her own party.
People can see that Kamala is not up for the job of president. She can not even handle the job she's in.
That has absolutely not one damn thing to do with Kamala's skin or her gender.

Stop pretending that it does.

People who aren't pushing a racism agenda KNOW why it would be bad for the country to put someone so INCOMPETENT as Kamala, in charge of running the country.
And they know it has absolutely not one damn thing to do with Kamala's skin or her gender.

Stop pretending that it does.

Stop using race as a weapon to discredit people when you don't have a true counter argument.

Stop going along with a person who sees racism EVERYWHERE including where it doesn't exist. For Jemele to accuse a woman of color of not wanting Kamala as president BECAUSE Kamala is a woman of color is dishonest and beyond moronic.

Stop going along with racism and bigotry because it makes YOU a racist bigot.

ETA: And I don’t believe that to be the case. 

You insisted and for some reason,  continue to insist that the ONLY reason someone could disagree with Kamala is BECAUSE of the color of her skin and her gender. 
You asked what other reason could it possibly be.

I gave you reasons that people,  including people in her own party, don't  think she's up for the job.

You dismissed the reasons and went back to pushing that it must be her skin and/or gender.

You might not agree with the reasons, but they ARE the reasons and they do NOT have to do with her skin or gender.
No matter how much you insist. 

There is no possibility of you accepting any answer you get on any question you ask.
So there's no reason left to answer your questions.





 

FACT: Way too often she dismisses the question in some bizarre way -or ALARMINGLY way too often, her answers turn out like this:

"We invested an additional $12 billion into COMMUNITY banks, because we know COMMUNITY banks are in the COMMUNITY, and understand the needs and desires of that COMMUNITY as well as the talent and capacity of COMMUNITY.
And so for years we have worked to expand investment in COMMUNITY banks because, you see, COMMUNITY banks specialize in providing loans and financial assistance to small business owners, in particular those in overlooked and underserved COMMUNITIES.
And as the name suggests, COMMUNITY banks are in the COMMUNITY."

Fact: It's SO often that it can't be written off as just having a bad day here and there.

Fact: Her answer to not going to the border was that she hadn't gone to Europe yet, either. 🙄


Fact: Earlier this year, 3 reporters at the New York Times wrote an article titled "Kamala Harris Is Trying to Define Her Vice Presidency. Even Her Allies Are Tired of Waiting."

Fact: Many of her staff quit in disgust, with complaints about Kamala and her inability to do the job.

Fact: too many people see that she’s not up to the JOB SHE'S IN, much less being the actual president.

FACT: Those are some of the reasons that her approval rating is so low and has dropped even within her own party.

FACT: Not one of those reasons have ANYTHING to do with her skin OR her gender.

I "made my case" just fine. You pretending that I didn't, doesn't make it true.
Just like you pretending you don't understand the concept of a metaphor and all the other times you refuse to acknowledge facts. Nobody says you have to agree with them, but that doesn't make them go away.
