Republican Winsome Sears will make history in Virginia by becoming the first Black woman to hold statewide office when she is sworn in as lieutenant governor. Her campaign ran, in part, on the idea that the country's racial reckoning has gone too far.

Her campaign ran on being acceptable and sprouting white supremacist talking points - 2nd this nation hasn’t faced no true reckoning - that’s the illusion - her wake up call will come…

I guess it's lost on her that she wouldn't have even had the opportunity to be on the ballot to hold statewide office without a racial reckoning that took place in this country.

Ashy

Her inaugural event should be protested by Black people. She already set the tone for how she will treat Black people when she’s in office. She’s a white supremacist in Black face. White people like her because they can hide their anti-Blackness behind her. RecallWinsomeSears

She needs to start the conversation in her native home of Jamaica

Sadly she’s incorrect. Also, as a cop, it’s not her place to make that call. This is why we don’t go to cops to learn history or politics. Slavery will remain a major focus of our society until it is truly dealt with.

You should have stopped after the first paragraph.

Yet another reason to stay away from Virginia.

No No No Never They Really know how to pick em Dont they

Pictures of the crowd behind home plate of any World Series game is far more indicative of the progress of America's 'racial reckoning' than what any politician might like us to think.

She's an idiot.

Here's another 'racism as one more hurdle.' Lt Gov.: Birmingham Church Bombing: The violent blast ripped through the wall, killing four African-American girls on the other side and injuring more than 20 inside the church.

'I'm from another country and culture; but here I am! Let me just say TYPICAL mindset.

A sensible woman. Hope she goes far.

Yeah, sure.

How? when practices with hate and racism are still demonstrated by their local law enforcement offices for instance the Virginia Beach Police Department deliberately forged documents with fake DNA evidence in interrogations in order to get confessions on at least five occasions

a black woman that is a republican, how the hell did that happen? The GOP hates both women and any people of color, wonder what is going on there. I personally think it is great to see a black woman as a Gov, but a republican something is not right

Shame, shame, shame

I truly hope SenatorSinema and Sen_JoeManchin loses their seats! They disastrous lives will go down in history as blocking voting rights!!

Ah yes, the “See? We’re not racist!” running mate.

Congratulations.
