Opinion | Anthea Butler: 'If a white man had a backstory like Harris', conservatives would openly consider him a formidable opponent and worthy of at least some respect.' - NBCNewsTHINK

So, despite the common theme among professional pundits that Harris was a"safe" choice, the truth is that, in a country that has widely embraced open racism and sexism, she was truly not. She achieved her presumptive nomination because of her skills and intellect — as well as her publicly demonstrated ability to dissect through the lies of this administration.

Kamala Harris is a woman of color, stepping up to serve a nation that has seemingly forgotten that it was built not only on a revolution against a tyrannical power, but on the tyranny of slavery and because of immigration. E Pluribus Unum — out of many, one — does not apply to just men, and it never has. Women are an important part of the many here in America, and it is time that we have a woman near the top of the executive branch.

THINK Kamala literally screwed her way into politics and now we are supposed to reward her for all that hard work in Willy Browns office. No thanks

THINK No. No we wouldn’t

THINK If a white man had the same back story I would call him a crooked prosecutor turned opportunistic politician. Same as I call her.

THINK If a white man slept his way to the top by having an affair with a married person in power while whining about being oppressed, the press would devour him.

THINK It’s not her story but her constant lying that makes her incapable of being respected.

THINK Descendant of slave owners is part of the backstory.

THINK Then PLEASE, NBC - for the love of God - stop giving their racist propaganda oxygen!!!!!!! Let it burn out like old sparklers on FauxNews.

THINK

THINK They attack her because they have to attack her, not because their attacks are valid.

THINK Not everyone has something nasty to say about her. Now I can't say she feels the same way.

THINK The democrats didn’t think her a worthy opponent when they rejected her in the primaries. Does her back story include her “in the sack with Willie Brown to get ahead,” part?

THINK Opinion news.

THINK Don't worry about the bigots and the jealous your going to be the vice president

THINK It's a damn shame. These bigots are coming out of nowhere. Just Goes to show that these assholes can't stand to see any black person get ahead and she's going to help get this country back on track. After what this country has been through we all should be happy. But noooo

THINK Yes the politician rated as the MOST leftist Senator over Bernie Sanders would be an attractive candidate😂 Stuff like this makes me think MSM & THINK are Democrat propaganda & can’t be taken seriously

THINK Call me crazy, but I don’t think white conservative guys would be cool with doing to Willie Brown what Kamala did to advance her political career.

THINK 😶

THINK I didn’t like Middle Class Joe, with his tragic backstory, either.

THINK The first racist attack came when she was picked only because of her race and gender.

THINK This is not only stupid, it’s a heinous lie. Ruining your brand.

THINK SenKamalaHarris is the biggest phony around. She deserves all the criticism she gets and absolutely none of it is racist or sexist. Just another looney left false narrative.

THINK Perhaps she needs to pick a better President for a running mate? I will vote against BIDEN.

THINK Kamala is liberal on ever issue except when it comes to black people.

THINK Please show me the dude who slept his way into political power so that we may compare.

THINK Oh someone who banged their way to the top? No, if it was a male it would be a metoo story.

THINK Have you heard what comes out of her mouth. Like someone else stated: Respect is earned.

THINK She deserves no respect, she is a crooked politician.

THINK It's harder for men to find bosses to sleep with.

THINK idc if you like her or not. the fact that they are ALREADY trying to do this is fucked up! just like obama it's uncalled for and racist/xenophobic.

THINK i'd vote for her if she spoke up about CannonHinnant

THINK The Lefts plan is to attack anyone who disagrees with this shit VP candidate as racist and misogynistic. God forbid we look past her race and sex and assess her on past actions.

THINK Fuck Kamala Harris

THINK Listen up, race-baiting black people like Anthea Butler. White people don't care about black people, in exactly the same way that white people don't care about white people. It's you who are sitting around thinking about this nonsense. We couldn't give two shits.

THINK Oh be quiet, she signed up for the position so hear this people!, she is NO exception to the scrutiny for any of her Wrong Doings, ie sleeping with married men.. or for the color of her skin... let me remind you of your favorite terms. Trump is racist, orange, fat, crooked etc.

THINK And nothing bad was said about Trump LOL fair game..

Trump Can't Be Racist Because He Donated Money To Kamala Harris, Says Trump CampaignPresident Trump has already gleefully taken to calling Sen. Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye. You can be racist if you have acknowledged that someone is black. Noticing someone is black is the pinnacle of anti-racism
