CrtsNsession I saw that bitch got the V.P. and it’s like Christmas for me. No one in their right mind would vote for her or joe. Add both IQs together and part way around a Cheerio they go!! Lol racist, bitter, ignorant are the dem choices. Lol thank you!

Hope HBCUs will start to do a better job now with their schools and how they manage their money.

Kamala Harris said she believed women who accused Biden of inappropriate touching 'I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it'

She's not black she Jamaican.

Who the fuck cares😂😂

She is not a true African American, as her parents were not descended from American slaves.

She still ain’t black

I notice comments on HBCU’s. It’s good to see some positive exposure. The Tuskegee Airmen and the first black 4 star general in the airforce came from Tuskegee University- STEM and HBCU. Also, for clarification, most biracial citizens are typically called black by the public.

Hi,Kamala is NOT black! She's biracial

A lot of firsts. Black is not one, tho.

She’s a Socialist that’ll push 4 a huge cut in Military spending+more Taxes 2 pay 4 a free Medicare system 4 all Ppl of color& more Welfare 2 reward the Black Criminal Culture.We can’t afford 2 reward the Ppl who make our Crime Rate what it is.The bottom line= Recession. No way!!

Her dad said she ain’t black. Can she still vote for Joe Biden?

And she slept her way to the top with old Willie Brown

I’m shocked. He picked the prostitute prosecutor who called him racist.

And?

Didnt she have an affair with the Judge?!

You know!! BidenHarris2020

Better is Grace Jones!

The democrats will do a switch and bait if Biden agrees to a debate with Trump. America will expect to see Biden but Harris will sit in. Would that be legal? Will be interesting...

She called JoeBiden a racist less than three months ago she also backed and supported his accusers. this is his running mate and you expect us to vote for this ticket ? you must think we’re all idiot 🐑 GFY walkaway

ManMet80 And it only took us 400 years!

Why does “Black” has anything to do with all of this. I thought this country is working hard to not racially profile and discriminate regardless of color race or gender. Iam for all of the above but why is everyone making such a big deal, this is so racist it’s scary. Irrelevant

Predictable

I thought she was Asian?

But who has overwhelmingly supported HBCU? It wasn't Senator Harris. It wasn't Joe Biden. It wasn't Nancy Pelosi. It wasn't. Chuck Schumer. IT WAS realDonaldTrump.

Who is KamalaHarris ? A win at all cost hungry A type who is responsible for many innocent people in prison while serving as DA. She’s only concerned with herself

She will eat Joe alive and muffle his mouth. I’d enjoy being in the Oval Office the first time he goes off on Sen/VP Harris with one of his angry Tirades.

She ain’t black BlacksForTrump

Horizontal Harris

Same college Trump put in for permanent funding which Obama did not do and never a word from Harris.African American Guess Biden did not lie or did he?Willie Brown put her on the rise in more ways than one

And

Never Forget

MSM is desperate to make us think Kamala is black.😂😂😂

KamalaHarrisForVP

Woman who got where she is by doing married guy,put thousands in prison in jail for doing what she laughed about doing and accepted vp slot from guy she labeled rapist and racist....

From HBCU to DT see ya

Biden actually picked someone that may have put more people of color in jail then he has. Trump2020

freakin proud !!!

This is who Kamala is

She will also be their first President when Biden steps down for health problems.

Also she's the first anchor baby candidate

I’m so proud of her and overjoyed that she is there. 👏👏❤️❤️

She ain't Black!

Judge Frees Man Who Spent More Than 13 Years In Prison For Crime He Says He Didn’t Commit Judge rips Harris' office for hiding problems via SFGate

Impressive but not nearly good enough reason to vote for her. Do the Dems have any candidates who don't hate America?

That's it! Trump's Going Down - in DEFEAT. 11/03/2020

Howard! A cheap version of Harvard 😂

I don’t care. She is trash

Wall Street executives are glad Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris to be his VP running mateFinance executives, confident the ticket has what it takes to topple President Donald Trump, raved about Harris' experience in government, as well as her fundraising prowess.
