PatTheAlpha06 I don’t GAF about being woke. Maybe KamalaHarris just couldn’t get the BlackCommunity to believe her words not matching her Actions? If TheDemocrats really gave a 💩about WeThePeople they would stop the partybeforecountry socialistic coup attempt. Legislate now! GOP & dems
Funny how it's always suburban White wine-moms that are surprised/anguished that Kamala Harris dropped out or that Cory Booker won't make the December debate. Black folks learned the lesson early on: 'All your skin folk ain't your kinfolk'
I read this whole article and could not find any “racism”. Seems like the word is being cheapened to the point of infinity. Click-bate....
Opinion: You could pull a muscle with all that reach.
Tulsi, Savage that she is, killed Kamala's campaign. Kamala didn't help things by being a trash candidate, running on a platform of unconstitutionality, then again that's part for the course.
She was DA, she was AG, and she even called herself 'California's top cop'. Exactly how is calling her a cop (100% accurate) racist?
shut up
ClintonMafia “strategists” are so predictable in their calculated Racism and Sexism —back in 2018 they were alteady plotting to peddle Kamala with IDPolitics Grift—and that’s how she’s going out too, one big IDPoliticsFAIL
I am unconvinced there is much intellectual power in the mind of the author whose opinion this is.
Racist?
Fact: If Kamala had leaned into her 'cop' persona, she would still be in this race. Dem pols and the media keep making the same mistake about the Dem electorate: thinking that it's farther Left than it is. Before Kamala, Beto went full SJW left and his polls collapsed soon after.
If by “racist narrative”, you must mean the factual narrative that she is a racist.
Her campaign is dead because she's a terrible and dishonest candidate. Good riddance.
Now saying cop is racist ? I wish I new the rules
Perhaps it wasn't the best strategy for her to bill herself as a cop.
Its really hard to support liberal ideas when you guys do this shit
Just sayin.
She said this herself just a year ago. Seriously how easy is it to be a journalist. Don't even bother Googling the subject.
Terrible take Frederick Joseph, America is ready for an African American female president, they just can't be neolib/neocon trash. Progressives only. Nina Turner would be a great president.
How is calling someone a cop a 'racist narrative' ? Sounds like something a pig would say
Ok bootlicker
'I was California's top cop'
She was a cop & it wasn’t racist. Stating facts doesn’t make you a racist.
tulsi ended her
You do realize that this whole, 'Racist', thing has lost every bit of it's impact on people who aren't wed to the far-left, don't you? You may as well call them poopie-heads for all the good it will do.
She literally boasted that she was a cop. Poc didn't support her. FredTJoseph
She was a cop
Or, and this is just a thought, maybe her campaign failed to inspire nearly everyone with its lack of a platform or original ideas.
Yeah this is entirely untethered to reality.
KamalaIsACop KamalaHarrisDestroyed
That famously racist stereotype of calling a person who called herself “top cop” a “cop”.
Cop is not a race. In fact 'race' as a strictly biological construct has not been proven to exist. Throughout this paper I will argue...
Cop is a race now? Lmao
'This is a defence of her as a black woman who was treated unfairly; a defence of black women everywhere who are treated unfairly.' By cops. Like Kamala Harris.
1. She called herself 'California's top cop' 2. Her history as AG in California was terrible, and calling her a cop was an easy way to reference it 3. Her campaign was poorly run, and she waffled on the major issue of health care 4. Yes, more qualified than Pete. Still bad
How is that a racist statement?
Calling someone a cop is racist? 🤔
Narrative that she created?
I called the cops too much in one day and wasted taxpayer's money. Meanwhile they buy golden toilet seats with taxpayer money.
Are cops a race now? I know they are all heros, but a different race that isnt allowed to be a politician?
Or... you know. Her own racist policies.
Calling someone a cop is racist who knew
Blue is not a race.
Like, maybe her campaign died because she is in fact a cop, one who bragged about threatening the homeless with prosecutions and stuff?
Blue lives matter?
Everything is racist to the racists.
Is Kamala being racist towards herelf here? Kamala TopCop Harris
Just remember kids. When you're not white, anything that makes you look bad is racist.
Harris is a racist and leader of the kangaroo court against judge kavanough and his family what a disgusting disgrace to attack the judge and his family she is gone be happy
When did 'cop' become a race and why did Kamala call herself a cop if it is a racist term?
ACAB
So, by racist narrative, you mean the Democrats are the racists?
The racist narrative of pointing out things she said and done
Can't people lose something without you blaming racism? Geez it gets old...
Well, there it is! The dumbest tweet I've seen all week. Thank you.
Oh stop it.
Literally nothing about that title or the article make sense... Someone being a cop has nothing to do with racism... And it is the narrative SHE pushed.
No it was her track record and flip flopping.
This never explains how that narrative was supposedly racist...or unfair at all, for that matter
No.
Ratioed!
Just one question…
You have grossly overblown the reality of the situation. There are better candidates and campaigns are costly. Obviously the democratic party didn't want her in the lead. Or at least didn't expect the backlash over her record.
FredTJoseph is a supreme moron lol
That's a stupid opinion.
Bit of mental gymnastics to see this as racist, the opposite if anything. Those casual racists who say they arent would see a self identifying cop as one of the good ones.
opinion ur opinion is shit
she literally called herself California's top cop and joked about scaring parents of truant children with jail time
The idea that she was a cop is a simple fact. She referred to herself as “the top cop in the country”. But to be a cop in America is to be, institutionally, anti-black and anti-poor.
Not racism: this woman defended the death penalty Blocked police body cameras Put 1500 into prison where male rape is normal Withheld evidence of an innocent man on death row Kept people in prison for cheap labour (slavery) Journalists Do your job!
Uhhh...no. “Kamala is a cop” was the slogan adopted by the far-left progressives to drive home the point that she was unelectable due to her past career of putting criminals in jail. Unless you’re suggesting that the far-left progressives are racist, which is also often true.
Fact: Kamala called herself “top cop”
Alternate theory: She was at 17% in June. People listened to her, then did some digging. They didn't like what they found...
Racism. Sexism. Russia. Damn. You’re tiresome.
She called herself California’s “Top Cop!” Did her home state voters suddenly become racist? Was that why she was doing so poorly in the upcoming California primary?
You can participate in white supremacy without being white yourself. It's a fundamental part of institutionalized racism. One's own identity doesn't shield them from being responsible for actions which have or will lead to racist outcomes.
Unelectable arrogant human. That‘s about it.
She literally said she was a cop and all the horrible things she did in that role
Kamala: “I was California’s top cop.” The Internet: 'Kamala is a cop' The Independent: 'This is racism'
wait what
It's a bad and factually wrong opinion but go off I guess
Oink oink
Then maybe she shouldnt have called herself that. TopCop came from KamalaHarris
Solid article. Solid like rabbit shit.
well cops are inherently racist so
WTF... Not only was she the Attorney General for the State California, before that, she was District Attorney for the City of San Francisco! 🤦🏻♂️
What utter bollocks.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
'racist narrative' From a PoC, please shut the fuck up
Kamala supported removing body cameras on police officers, supported civil asset forfeiture laws, witheld evidence that could've got an innocent man off of death row,'Kamala is cop 'isn't racist, its a symbol of what police corruption and why our Justice system need to be fixed.
The trash who wrote this article got owned but wont defend their stupidity? Why? Kamala called herself a cop. She is confused though. I think she thought being a pig made her cop.
Democrats took her out... Guess Democrats are racists.
I am certain her losing had NOTHING to do with her promising to take EVERYTHING away from We The People and give it all to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. I am sure it had NOTHING to do with her promising to strip away our 2A rights. I am sure it has NOTHING to do with her UNLIKABILITY.
She is a cop
I guess headlines like this is an inevitable result of all that 'blue lives matter' nonsense
lol
What race are cops? More precisely what does race have to do with not being happy about a candidate that calls themselves the “top cop”, proudly? Obviously nobody likes the cops because it’s a racist institution.
racist? ex-fucking-cuse me?
If she wasn't a cop, then her bragging about prosecuting the parents of truant school kids is even more problematic. All those letters with her badge printed on them she bragged about sending to terrorize school parents. Get over it. She was a cop.
Lol
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted a march of poor Black, White, Hispanic & Native Americans from different urban & rural areas to protest inequality. Kamala Harris was a former hardline prosecutor sponsored by billionaires & elites. She would've locked MLK up at their behest.
Was she ever a contender..lets be serious.
Cops are never gonna be a protected minority class. Stop trying to make it happen.
If that’s what killed her campaign then SHE killed it by constantly calling herself Top Cop.
?
Guess Hillary's PR is in charge of kamala's exit transition.
Breaking news: The calls KamalaHarris racist for calling herself a cop
ACAB
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HahahahahahahahahahahahHahh. She was a cop. Good. Maybe she can stop lying about backpage too. Response ? Of course you won’t.
this is a shitty opinion
Opinion: You are incorrect on all fronts.
ComfortablySmug is out here killing campaigns and in bed before 10
.... But she was a cop?
racists
Is any criticism of an African American politician racist?! The “Independent” says yes
Pig lives matter.
Kamala's a cop.
Was “Blue Lives Matter” the original headline for this?
wrong opinion
👏🏿👏🏿😂
Harris looked good on paper, but just didn't connect. Can anyone even briefly define what the Harris campaign stood for?
I’m not gonna click on this but it’s gotta be satire. You can’t be serious.
Kamala actually being a cop and ruining communities of color is what killed her campaign. Her record left a trail of suffering. Do your research.
Rewind the tape.... that’s what she called herself. 🙄
Umm last I checked it was POC who were largely the ones calling her a cop....You know since she got a lot of POC locked up over minor drug offensives....So how is that racist?
Here's a challenge for you and your opinion, name one policy Kamala actually stood for
When did Cop become a nationality
Was it racist of her to pose as a cop in this photo?
How is this racist?
she said repeatedly she was a cop.
What a waste of an opinion column
With almost 3 million followers and only 48 likes. I smell bots
Lolllllll
Huh?
It was her narrative. She killed her own campaign by being lame and obvious.
How the hell is it racist to call a cop a cop?
Hardly racist. Black people were the ones who started it
Holy shit just STOP it
You're only 1 for 3, but that's okay. GetGud
Or, hear me out, maybe it's because Kamala is a cop.
*farting noise*
not racist 🙃
How is it racist lmao - what a joke
Mainstream media is mad because they push so hard for her. Don't worry mainstream media you guys will still get your money.
Kamala Harris is a cop though.
Yes. Racism is the only explanation for why Harris called herself the “top cop of the biggest state in the country”
Corrupt prosecutors should get a pass because of their race, apparently.
It's racist to say someone's unlikeable now. 🤣
Racist against white people? Because Blacks wouldn't vote for her when they realised who she was? Incredible. How does this make sense lol
tldnr: 'Kamala is a cop' isn't racist or even untrue, but it should have been suppressed if people wanted to elect on color. Also includes a callback to 'microagressions'. Ahh, 2016, how we missed you.
But Kamala is a cop 🤷🏽♂️
Dirty cop. And, cops aren't a race.
You misspelled “Hamala”
This is really dumb
She was a cop. She literally called herself California’s top cop. There’s literally nothing racist about calling a cop a cop... smh
Sure thing bootlicker.
'I was California's Top Cop.' -Copmala Harris, 2018
Corrupt Cop, actually.
Because cops are blue?
WTF
Yikes the bootlickers are out in full force
If it’s so racist why did she say it?
Yeah, it was really not a good move that she called herself that. I'm not sure I'd call her racist for that, though.
I didn’t realize blue was a race
She's a cop and a Zionist lackey.
Nothing racist about that. And we wouldn't have said it if her record wasn't so heinous.
She was a cop
Your use of the homophobic phrase 'racist narrative' proves that you should be banned by the UN.
Because if there's one stereotype damaging to black people, it's that they *checks notes* get along too well with law enforcement personnel
Obama served two terms. Maybe stop focusing on race/gender/etc & instead look at an individual's merits. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
That pig got roasted! 🐷
You know we can just look up her record
Is it really racist to point out she propagates racist policing policies and actively opposed transgender inmates receiving proper care? And attempting to use truancy laws to punish parents of kids who skipped school? Or is it looking at her record and realizing shes a crook?
Exhibition A of pretzel logic
She was a cop. That's not racist.
She shouldn’t have bragged about it then.
'cop' isn't a race
Based only on this article, I think the author, and publication, are really, REALLY ignorant. It's obvious that you have NO IDEA what you're talking about, and NO IDEA about 'cops' in the USA. STFU
And it had nothing whatsoever to do with the dysfunction in her own campaign, which is all over the fucking news. Smdh
Her hideous, maniacal cackle did her in.
This is funny coming from an account with 'fight fake news' in its header. 🤣🙄
Lol what?
I mean, cops kill everyone else, why would they stop at killing campaigns?
*Hamala is a cop
Kamala Harris is a cop, though...
Kamala sunk herself, stop playing hillary with Kamala, she did it to herself, her record is atrocious, people saw it. She's a poser. Good thing the headline is 'opinion'.
There’s a precedent for cops being pigs. Also, cop isn’t a race.
“I’m a cop” - Kamala “Calling Kamala a cop is racist” - the Independent ?
When you think that ACAB means 'Assigned Cop at Birth'
Ok boomer
“Am I wrong about Kamala? No, they must be racist”
Oh, c’mon. She called herself “top cop”.
Dang, dis tweet gettin' DUNKED on by da truth
She’s running on her record as an aggressive prosecutor. How is calling her out for it racist when she’s done more to hurt minorities than everyone calling her out?
I'm trying to figure out whether you think white people hate cops, or Black people love them, and I'm not gonna read the article to figure out which.
This is a hilariously bad take.
too bad twisting narratives is the only way you can sell yourself when it's also the reason why no one trusts journalists.
Getting a bit wee nervous across the pond there?
Truly astounding that a politician had the nerve to start a 'racist narrative' against herself.
Racist She called herself the “top cop” 🙄
Adding the word “racist” to make this look like a bad thing
Kamala is still a Cop
BethLynch2020 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
That's certainly an opinion one can have. It's dumb as shit, but it's an opinion.
How is it racist?
Sorry, did you not get ratio'd hard enough the last time you posted this a couple of hours ago or are you just that socially tone deaf?
lmao
The truth isnt racist
But Kamala was a cop though😕
How is that racist? She incarcerated thousands of African Americans. She pushed for criminalizing truancy, which would overwhelmingly hurt black/brown families. She laughed at marijuana legalization in 2014. Facts aren't racist. Her policies are. She's a cop.
honestly i don’t care what race, gender, or sexuality you are. if you’re a cop, i a. probably don’t like you and b. am sure as hell not gonna give you any sort of support in an election
cop isn't a race
Calling black people 'cops' is actually a super real, very well-known dog whistle that dates back to the Jim Crow South, and definitely not something this guy just made up
It's not racist, she really is the embodiment of EVERY horrible thing about the American justice system
She literally told us she was a cop. Loudly. Repeatedly.
you mean when she called herself the top cop?!
Nope
I don't think you know what racism is.
she called herself a cop
She was a prosecutor! She locked up people who smoked weed and laughed about it, and blocked appeals for those facing death! I mean, this isn't racist propaganda or whatever, its fact!
Pointing out her shit record is not racist. Biden, Mayo Pete, and the rest get the same treatment.
Maybe she should not have called herself a cop.....
How is calling her a cop racist?
She branded herself as a cop.
She put thousands of black men in prison for doing the same thing she was guilty off
Lol
So tiresome how everyone needs to correct media fake news.
Racist for calling her what she is? Personally, I consider someone to be racist if they support policies that lead to unreasonably jailing more minorities. Would you look at that, Kamala was against legalizing marijuana!
If it was a racist narrative, why did she brag about being America’s top cop during her campaign?
1. That’s not racist 2. She called herself a cop 3. Tulsi ended her campaign. However, twitter memes did help
Can’t point at race when the allegations are true though. Kopmala was universally reviled for her time as a prosecutor, and with good reason. Also, milquetoast centrism doesn’t resonate with voters anymore... but you knew both of these things anyway.
So the Independent agrees: Being a cop is a racist act
Hahahahaha how the fuck is being a cop a racist narrative. She lost because she did a lot of awful things as a prosecutor and her record didn’t play well. Next up Buttigeg and his record as an awful mayor of south bend.
🐖
'Cop' is basically the most racist slur there is
Imagine having a smooth enough brain to squirt out this wretched opinion
lol
Nowhere in this article did it explain how the cop narrative is racist except for claiming that some people said she was “too white”
How is stating a TRUE FACT about her Career in any way related to Racism? What IF she were white? We'd still say KAMALA IS A COP. What would your headline read Then? Nice try.. 🤡👟buffoons.
lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololo
Ok, but hear me out. She’s a cop
'all criticism is racist'; a hack opinion. Could you imagine what would happen if Kamala had adopted a policy that dramatically and significantly would improve the lives of working class Americans more than special interests?
She literally called herself the “top cop.” Your opinion is objectively wrong. You should feel bad about what you’ve said here.
OOOOoooo...You had me at 'racism' and 'microaggressions'!
What's racist about being a cop?
Opinion = first thing you say after sustaining severe brain damage
How is that racist? It’s completely race-neutral
Cop apologists
Nope
No! Her record and disingenuous attitude towards policies people care about killed her campaign!
How Sway?
So it's an act of racism to call someone a cop? Interesting logic.
'Calling out her racist policies makes you racist' what.
Hey how much will you pay me to write a think piece that posits dropoutdelaney as this generation’s “No Irish need apply”? Looking to make some fast, cynical cash.
Being called a cop isnt remotely racist. Way to go, journalism.
Oh sure, blame racism, blame sexism. Just don't Kamala for have an awful record as a prosecutor and running an inept campaign.
Yall really need to be shut down, damn
She called herself a cop
“I was California’s top cop.” — Kamala Harris, 2018
Racist to who?!
Mayo Pete next
Nah her record just sucked
Why aren't you talking about how Kamala imprisoned the parents of truant children? Or how she denied medical care to trans inmates? Or how she abused her staff?
I think Tulsi Gabbard calling out Harris on her record was the final nail in the coffin for her campaign She had a great first debate 'That girl was me' but as a lawyer tried to keep parsing words and revealing her chameleon way of campaigning. Voters need to know who you are
The opinion writer is wrong to call it a racist narrative. Harris called herself California's top cop Was she being racist to herself?
Just an amazing sleight of hand here.
This aged well:
lol
No, she is nor was NOT. But any excuse will do, will it not?
Maybe if she had done anything positive for her constituents, after being a tyrannical prosecutor who purposely kept innocent people in jail until mandated by the Court to produce exculpatory evidence.
lmaoooo 'cops are a race' today, BlueLivesMatter tomorrow
Maybe if you would stop looking at her as just a black woman and look at her as a politician, or hell just read the article you wrote without the identity politics blinders on, you may see why she’s out.
you tweeted this story like an hour ago, she was still a cop who flip flopped on her initial platform
black girls are not on the table to die the right way yet!
Maybe she should not have been an awful prosecuter🤔
