I was in the middle of writing another commentary \u2013 one on the need to retrain police on how to deal with calls on those suffering from mental breaks \u2013 but I had to stop in the middle to type this instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The need is too urgent. Dear so-called \u201cwoke\u201d Black people: Sen. Kamala Harris is not the enemy. Please do not continue to question her commitment to the causes that Black Americans hold so dear. Do not hold her to an unattainable standard and most importantly, do not question her Blackness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t even know how this backlash (Blacklash) got rolling so quickly, but my only thought is \u2013 and I say it with sincerity \u2013 there is some Russian bot-farm ramping up Black opposition to Harris, as she would make for a formidable opponent against Vladimir Putin\u2019s chosen puppet, President Donald Trump (known in criminal court documents as \u201cIndividual 1,\u201d unindicted co-conspirator) if she were to emerge as the Democratic nominee in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My social media platforms, Facebook in particular, which has been proven to be prime hunting ground for Russian trolls, are inundated with post after post from a myriad of outlets questioning Harris\u2019 \u201cBlackness.\u201d And by questioning her Blackness I\u2019m talking about in every way. One was even saying she\u2019s less Black and more Indian (her mother is from India and her father is Jamaican). Others, the ones most \u201cwoke\u201d tend to share, have to do with her record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and later as the attorney general of California; as if somehow that\u2019s a disqualifier. Come on, really<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n One commentary that\u2019s getting way too much traction, cites Harris\u2019 call for parents to take more active roles in children\u2019s lives in efforts to reduce truancy as \u201cevidence\u201d that Harris is somehow not down. In that very commentary it attributes this shocking quote to Harris, \u201cIf you\u2019re chronically truant from elementary school, you are four times more likely to drop out and become a perpetrator or a victim of crime. That\u2019s why we\u2019re taking on the truancy crisis in the California Department of Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well if that doesn\u2019t show she\u2019s not down for Black people, I don\u2019t know what does. Again, really<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The commentary even ends with (I am not making this up) \u201cFrom Russia With Love.\u201d Hiding in plain sight is the motive behind the attack on Harris, yet many Black people \u2026 the so-called woke \u2026 will ignore that part and click the share button and pile on in the vitriol. Sadly, I don\u2019t think most are reading beyond the headlines. They see \u201cHarris, prosecutes Black mothers\u201d and that\u2019s enough for them to write her off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazingly, when you scroll through their posts, there\u2019s not a negative word uttered about any of the white Democrats who have either announced or been speculated to run for president in 2020. As the now-popular saying goes, which is satire for it ain\u2019t gonna happen; \u201cI\u2019ll wait.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, back to Harris\u2019 Blackness. Let\u2019s examine this for a second. She\u2019s a graduate of Howard University, one of the nation\u2019s oldest and most revered historically Black institutions of higher learning. She\u2019s a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., the nation\u2019s first Black Greek-letter sorority. Recently, at an event in Washington, D.C., she was happily greeted to skee-wees from her fellow sorors \u2013 a greeting that one uninformed white reporter for the Washington Post<\/em> called \u201cscreeching.\u201d Tell me that ain\u2019t Black. For goodness sake, she announced her intentions to run for president on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. How much \u201cBlacker\u201d do you have to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I mentioned at the beginning, I stopped writing one commentary because of the urgency of this matter. We cannot let the highly viable candidacy of Harris to be hijacked by trolls of the so-called #DemExit \u201cmovement.\u201d Movement is in quotes because, again, I sincerely believe this is a false flag operation coordinated by those seeking to weaken Harris, weaken the Democratic party and by proxy, weaken America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of y\u2019all woke people need to wake up from your wokeness. Seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was in the middle of writing another commentary \u2013 one on the need to retrain police on how to deal with calls on those suffering from mental breaks \u2013 but I had to stop in the middle to type this instead.
