For anyone who has questions about Kamala Harris being black enough
Anyone who had questions and got answers from this or who still has answers after this, feel free to respond to this post.
I want you to understand... I'm not blaming you all for having questions. I'm not against you. I'm against the people who I know are manipulating people behind the scenes to spread these questions in order for us to vote against our own interests.
Is really even possible to believe... that the old white man who took out an ad calling for the deaths of the Central Park Five is going to be better for us and making real progress in criminal justice reform than Kamala who has seen that system from the front lines?

Everyone who works has made mistakes on the job before. It's called being human. But Trump can't even apologize for this mistake because deep down he sees no problem with what he did. Running an ad like that was basically no different from throwing a white hood in the air and calling for people to lynch these black men on the suspicion alone that they were guilty. At least a prosecutor has to try and prove guilt. And they do that based on the evidence that is provided to them. And they can't say "I'm not going to use this evidence on the off chance it was planted." They have to do their jobs. But choosing that job means that you can be more fair than the alternative. Yes, she locked up black men. If she didn't someone else would have been in that position and they might not have cared at all. No questions. No apologies. Just stats. If we don't police ourselves we're leaving the job for THEM. And you don't know how racist they're going to be.
That's why I'd rather have black people in powerful positions. Because IF NOT THEM THEN WHO??
If you're not helping black people get into positions of power then WHO DOES THAT LEAVE? What's the alternative? And when you realize that alternative is the SAME OLD SYSTEM OF WHITE SUPREMACY that has never been fair to us, how is it somehow a gamble to put a black person in? Now there are a handful of black people who should never be given power because they go too far trying to prove to whites that they're not like us that they'll do things white people won't even do. Ex: Clarence Thomas, Jesse Lee Peterson, etc.
But Kamala?
It's fair to ask some of these questions but just understand... white supremacy is going to do whatever it can to keep black people from gaining power. How do you expect this to happen? Do they have magical abilities to keep you from voting? Or do they just recruit influential black people to spread propaganda so that it looks like it's a legitimate question from black people instead of what it really is. It's propaganda from white supremacy. In case you haven't noticed... White Supremacy LOVES Donald Trump. This couldn't be more clear if the KKK endorsed Trump (which they did).
Politics isn't hard. If White supremacy is clearly supporting one candidate then it's going to attack the other. And so the attacks on Kamala's blackness, echoed by Trump himself, are RACIST not just racial in nature. Racists are the ones out there not just fearmongering against blacks and Jews but they are the ones debating questions about race. White people who tend not to be racist (or simply lacking a noticeable amount of racism) tend not to engage in critical questions about how black a black person is and what defines it. And them asking those questions is not the same as us asking those questions because their intentions are not the same. So I just hate the fact that we're asking questions because they want us to.

Trump Will Not Apologize for Calling for Death Penalty Over Central Park Five (Published 2019)
“You have people on both sides of that,” the president said when asked about the wrongly convicted defendants.
