Kamala Harris' selection as VP resonates with Black women

That will hinge on Black voters in battleground states like Michigan to turn out in force in November.

While Harris’ selection has largely been applauded among the Democratic Party and voters, some have raised concerns. She joins the ticket at a time of immense racial tensions and crises in the nation. The coronavirus pandemic has disproportionately affected Black Americans and other people of color. Protests against systemic racism and brutality are top of mind for potential voters.

“While I fully appreciate her scope of responsibilities while she was in that role, I still think she was empowered to stand up more for minorities, and I think it was just a really missed opportunity,” she said. “But I absolutely will be voting. We have far too much at stake. And for me, as a mother, I’m frightened and I just feel like another four years with this administration will be catastrophic.

Alicia Garza, the co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, said the nation is in a moment where “deep and profound change is needed.” But for Black women, the freedom to vote didn’t come until much later, part of a historical pattern of being denied justice offered to others.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Ooorrrrrrr? You can be like Cardi B😉

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Sure

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She’s not African American wtf

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Yes

KamalaHarris JoeBiden

KamalaHarris JoeBiden I don’t think girls can be president. However it is encouraging for black women.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Kamala socialist!!!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden When you vote skin color is not what we should look for when we vote look at the person who has love for the country and for the American people not racism division or because of a party. We vote somebody who could give us success and accomplishments and wealth for the country!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Not a full circle moment. Every piece of legislation his written imprisoned black people, made 40 nonviolent offenses eligible for death, flooded the streets w/crack while his son snorted coke. What does that tell black girls? Now your on the a Drug Czar incarceration zealot bus.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Didn’t we get enough of this nauseating crap with Hillary?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She’s black?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She's NOT black

KamalaHarris JoeBiden But is she a black woman?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden And all she had to do to kick off her great career was sleep with Willie Brown.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Her paternal grandmother's name is Beryl Finnegan. Also Jamaican racially or not?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Obama told black people in general that being president was possible, but did next to nothing to actually help black people.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden I sure hope those black doesn’t act or did what she did get where she is

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Her skin look more white than black.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Ahh identity politics. Don't you just love it 😃

KamalaHarris JoeBiden And own slaves...

KamalaHarris JoeBiden

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Indian women too.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden What about qualifications? Is that important anymore?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She never said she is a black

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Yes, especially when the selection criteria was, a black female. They turned MLK backwards & chose on color, not character.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Fact check: FALSE. Harris has zero black DNA.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden How much black is this woman?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Wait Obama is not black?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden From picking cotton, surviving rapes, cleaning homes, cooking meals, caring for, and breastfeeding babies that weren't ours, and called dirty names...finally, Black women can have 'this' one defining moment as their own. KAMALA HARRIS!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden *Vice President

KamalaHarris JoeBiden But the left and the right are crushing her today.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden 🙄

KamalaHarris JoeBiden There is one thing Joe Biden kept his promise on, and that was to elect a female minority as his running mate. So, he chose Senator Kamala Harris. I thought we were to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Black girls can't do a thing if they don't return to school.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden It tells Black Girls that they need help from a crusty old white man to lift them into a position they don’t deserve. Obama and Hillary already proved blacks and women can win a majority. Harris is a redundancy

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Not black.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden More like it tells young girls that if they become the mistress of a powerful man 30 years older than you, the sky is the limit. Gimme a break.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden You’re aware that she isn’t black... she’s biracial ... of which neither is African American

KamalaHarris JoeBiden If you can’t beat em join em. That’s the lesson

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Resonates with a lot of others as well! BidenHarris2020 BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica BidenHarris2020Landslide

KamalaHarris JoeBiden It tells all girls that they can achieve anything with hard work, faith and perseverance.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden The younger Americans are tired of the older Americans shit!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden But she is not black

KamalaHarris JoeBiden I hope at some point the conversation turns to why/ if she will be a good person in the next administration, and why/if she would be a good president.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Sure it does

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Congratulations Kamala. Joe doesn’t have a chance.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden 🤣🤣 Half Indian this is BLACK 👇🏿

KamalaHarris JoeBiden They need to go to school if they need to be told this.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden

KamalaHarris JoeBiden PARENTS make sure that their black daughters, sons, grandchildren KNOW that they can be whatever they want to be, and DO NOT let racist America get in the way, and if it does go thru them like a hot knife thru butter.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Down with trump let's us get back the real usa we were born in to freedom that is us people we the people voted for our lives fought for our freedom and all the country's that asked us for help vote Bedin

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She is a terrible example.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Shouldn’t the flag be red!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Her family was the largest slave owner in Jamaica. How does that square with the leftist

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Thanks Dems for giving the win early to Trump, We appreciate your generosity!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden lololol

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Because the lady who dramatically increased the % of black inmates in her locality while in office is such a boon to black women.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She’s isn’t black.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden it tells them to sleep their way into positions they haven't earned, abuse their authority, be a political windsock if it advances your brand, and it's ok to be uncle tom if you get to sleep in the big house. she is the WORST example you could give young women.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden This is a slap in the face for all African American woman how can they support Harris as a black when Harris herself identifies as Indier ?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She gives hope to girls whose parents have PHDs, that they can reach their goals and be successful. She worked hard to earn degrees, but she was privileged.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Since she ran in the same primary but didn’t get the nomination. Technically it tells black girls they can’t be president, but they can work for an old white guy.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden I am a former veteran political reporter who posted a commentary about Harris on You Tube. Search for August 12 Crowder’s Corner.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden The Left constantly exploits gender and race as a tactic to gain power. They made no comments like these for Sarah Pailin, Condoleeza Rice, Alveda King, etc. It isn’t at all about women/minority leadership, for them. It’s about weaponization of emotional topics to push an agenda.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Lol she’s fake. Tulsi describes her best

KamalaHarris JoeBiden So much arguing over whether she is black or not. SHE'S A FUCKING COP.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Keep the racehustle alive

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She is indian, and does not recognize this 50% . Elizabeth Warren claimed to be indian but is white. Jezzebel lying women are bad for politics. tulsigabbard was the only viable candidate. Strong , honest and compassionate. Sad

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Here is some me actual reporting on Kamala

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She’s black?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden What does black have to do with Kamala Harris?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Jamaican-Indian*

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She isn't African American and her family owned slave in Jamaica. How is this ok?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Wait doesn’t she only get nominated for VICE President candidate

KamalaHarris JoeBiden What a message!!!! THE RAPTURE Welcome

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Do NOT PRETEND HARRIS IS BLACK, SHE IS MOSTLY INDIAN which is good

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She doesn’t even associate herself as African American

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Politics!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Does it tell them they can be President or Vice President? Because right now, the job is Vice President...

KamalaHarris JoeBiden With this duo, good luck Trump!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Can be President? I thought it was Biden who was running for the President position.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Are you positively sure she us black?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She is a cop. This is disgusting

KamalaHarris JoeBiden I thought you called them stupid, no? I was never stupid, inexperienced yes. ANTIFA that turbo shit I started to understand the last 6 weeks. Before that I was totally blank on that topic. That doesn't mean stupidity bennyjohnson _electriccowboy Hey Soros you 'Cowboy'

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Yep. You're looking at America's first woman President.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She breaths hope, joy and intelligence into a government of fear mongering, hate and misery. I can’t wait for the bullies to be out of office and the normal people to take over and restore our government and our spirits. I have felt miserable about our government since 2016.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden So, is joe really her running mate? And please, all girls and woman can be anything they want, regardless of race. Please do better on your statements.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden If you want...... Abortion until birth Lawlessness in cities DEFUND THE POLICE OPEN BORDERS No Religious Freedom *******VOTE FOR BIDEN/HARRIS********

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Try harder. FakeNews

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Many? What qualifies? 2 .. 4 .. 1000?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Kamala harris is not black, father is white, mother is indian.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden This is just stupid and ridiculous

KamalaHarris JoeBiden It tells INDIAN girls they can be president. She is not Black

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She is the law and order 'woman of color' VP choice in the age of BLM and the defund movement. What has Kamala advanced except herself?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden

KamalaHarris JoeBiden While working for a racist boss

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Lol well it's clear where literally all establishment legacy news sources land on Kamala. She is the establishment-approved pick for POTUS. Yep, not VP. Prez. Watch it happen.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden But can they afford to be SINGLE MOMS pay rent?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden “Oh she’s not white? She’s dark? Let’s just call her black.” Even the liberals and leftists in America can’t get past the US’ racial binaries. Sad.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Your constant use of skin color in your reporting is racist

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Black and Indian Unless you don't want that part of your heritage known? Politics

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She is less likable than Hillary. Bad choice

KamalaHarris JoeBiden why would it say that? The media assures us that Biden is in excellent health. I would assume Kamala would be the same as every other VP - standing behind the president, when he's at the podium. What does the DNC have planned that would make this different?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden At some point, the Associated Press really needs to read it's own comments. This identity politics bs isn't fooling voters on either side anymore. Come up with a new schtick already.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Warren was Biden’s pick until he made ANOTHER racist remark. Kamala has many skeletons in her closet. Black voters are not stupid

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Certainly don’t remember Obama getting less interest by his VP. It’s almost like you guys are setting this up to remove him after a couple of years?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Yep when you make Joe resign for mental health reasons and you take the reigns

KamalaHarris JoeBiden No.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She's not black though.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Friends, which way ought we to take in the midst of the current distress? Listen in..

KamalaHarris JoeBiden It tell all girls they can be POTUS

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Wait i thought she was an south Asian Indian girl

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Loo, tell black girls that can all sleep their way to political relevancy just like Kamala. Bad advice.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden It tells girls that sucking the right cock is the key to success in politics

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Ima just leave this here

KamalaHarris JoeBiden

KamalaHarris JoeBiden SHE IS NOT BLACK

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She’s not African American she’s Jamaican American

KamalaHarris JoeBiden So she tells young girls 'blowing a (married) man twice your age to get in the door is what it takes when you have no real credibility' ?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She isn't black lol

KamalaHarris JoeBiden If they couldn't figure it out on their own they're never becoming president.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Also sends a “different”, not so honorable, message to ALL girls. Embarrassing to women of all races.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Race hustling because the L is around the corner.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Aww, NOW you are validating Warren's pinky promise message.. Let see how the top cop from California is going to hear the voices of those she put behind bars for marijuana offenses. See if she can hear you with her ears stuffed with Silicon Valley money.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden She’s not even half black.

KamalaHarris JoeBiden I'm gonna vote for someone because they look like me 🤣 said the non racist?

KamalaHarris JoeBiden That's so sexist and racist! Whatever happened to 'the best man for the job'? 🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂

KamalaHarris JoeBiden

KamalaHarris JoeBiden Black-n-White. Fake Gold.
