Blacks Loudly Declare Their Lack of Support for a Kamala Harris Presidency – RedState

Despite the tremendous psyop by the Democrat Party and the legacy media to shove Vice President and anointed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris through without debate or question, not everyone is on board. Surprisingly, certain aspects of the Black community are tacitly refusing to play along, even as the media gaslights and attempts to memory hole Harris’ past and present record.

#BlackTwitter, a still powerful remnant on the X social media platform, has been particularly vocal about the media power brokers and Harris’ insistence that she is Black. Not only do they not consider her to be Black, they also drag Harris for her record of public service. In over 30 years of being in public office, Harris has done absolutely nothing for the Black community:  

There is much resentment—more than the Democrat Party or the legacy media cares to acknowledge. It goes back to 2019, when Kamala Harris mounted her first campaign for president. 

During a February appearance on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God asked Harris about that.

Harris pushed back. “I’m black, and I’m proud of being black. I was born black. I will die black,” she said. “I’m not going to make excuses for anybody because they don’t understand.”

She went on to criticize those who question her racial identity.

“I think they don’t understand who black people are,” Harris said. “I’m not going to spend my time trying to educate people about who black people are.”

Harris’ father is Jamaican and Irish. Her mother was Tamil Brahmin Indian, a high caste that is considered India’s elite. Harris was born in Oakland and spent her formative years in Berkeley. Even today, Berkeley would never be considered a bastion of Blackness; but it is a hotbed for communism and Marxist philosophy. Then, Harris’ mother moved her and her sister Meena to Montreal, which in the late ’70s and early ’80s, was probably more homogenous than it is today. Media personality and political analyst Kira Davis, who like Harris is biracial and spent her formative years in Canada, gave me some insight on this. Davis said, and I quote, “Montreal is where communists train their children.” 

Davis also gave insight into the type of education that Harris probably received in Montreal, and it has little to do with Black culture.

Montreal is the most liberal of cities in the most liberal of provinces. When you’re educated in Montreal, you’re educated to hate your country as a colonizer and Western devil.  

This is where Harris spent her teenage years before returning to the States to attend Howard University, a historically Black college and obviously, a strategic choice to further cultivate this Black image that she wants everyone to swallow as whole cloth. So, it seems that like the gender cult, “I feel it, therefore it is,” it seems that merely declaring yourself “Black” is the only requirement to be it. If that’s the case, then Rachel Dolezal (now Nkechi Amare Diallo) and Shaun King are owed an apology: 

Kamala Harris is not their type of “Black,” no matter how much the legacy media, the Democrat Party, and certain aspects of the Black community wish to make her so. What’s more, schisms are being deepened, particularly among those who are American descendants of slaves (ADOS). This portion of the Black community is huge on getting the United States to further acknowledge the sin of slavery by paying financial reparations. The interesting thing is that Harris, who has advocated for policies that unequivocally give money to illegal aliens, and allow criminals to sanitize and skirt their records, and other social justice causes, is not really down with giving Blacks reparations.

This interview was considered instrumental in tanking that first presidential run. Harris exited the race in 2020, before the Iowa caucuses, with less than one percent of the voting public supporting her.

The other issue that Blacks have with Harris is not just that she defends her past as a prosecutor, but that the people who she claimed to champion were the people whom she seemed to target. Kamala Harris kept her prosecutorial record high on the backs of Black men. When she was San Francisco District Attorney (2004 to 2010), and then California Attorney General (2010-2017) at least 1,560 people were jailed for marijuana-related offenses; most of those offenders were Black men: 

As California’s AG, Harris headed the legal battle to keep prisoners locked up so that they could fight wildfires. Despite a federal ruling to deal with prison overcrowding, Harris’ AG staff attorneys argued that releasing low-level offenders would deplete the workforce that helped to combat wildfires. Harris later claimed that her staff attorneys did it without her knowledge, yet she was the “Top Cop.” A stunning lack of accountability.

One local writer who examined her years as San Franciso District Attorney said of Harris: “In the decade since Harris had first been elected DA, she had built a reputation as a careful politician with an eye on the next office.” It was when Harris had her eye on being attorney general that the 2007 murder of Seu Kuka by Jamal Truelove came into the SF DA’s office. [Editor’s note: Several sources give the name’s spelling as “Truelove,” while others use “Truelove.” We have preserved the spellings as-is.]

After a jury convicted Jamal Trulove, then 25, of first degree murder in February 2010, then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris praised the “brave witness who stepped forward from the crowd.” Harris was then running for attorney general of California and in her campaign bragged about her high conviction rates as the San Francisco DA. Harris echoed what her deputy prosecutor Linda Allen said repeatedly to the jury: Priscilla Lualemaga, the only eyewitness to testify at trial about the July 2007 homicide of Seu Kuka, did so at great risk of retaliation. “She’ll never get her life back,” Allen said, adding that Lualemaga testified knowing that “maybe [she’ll] get killed over being a witness because she saw someone else kill someone.”  

The wrongful conviction of Jamal Truelove is the most glaring example of Harris’ unchecked ambition and failure to practice what she preached.

There was also no physical or forensic evidence that inculpated Trulove, and no other witnesses said he was the shooter. Trulove insisted from the beginning that he was innocent.

The case’s glaring flaws didn’t matter: in October 2010, Trulove, then a young father, aspiring actor, and hip-hop performer who had appeared on the VH1 reality television show “I Love New York 2,” was sentenced to 50 years to life.

In 2014, the California Court of Appeal overturned his conviction. Truelove was retried the next year, but he was acquitted. In 2018, Truelove was awarded $13.1 million for wrongful conviction and imprisonment.

WATCH:

 

That VICE interview was in 2019. In 2021, Truelove did another podcast, and pretty much admitted that because he didn’t want to be a right-wing symbol and was blackballed by Hollywood, that he caved on his criticisms of Harris and vocally expressed support for Harris becoming Joe Biden’s VP.

WARNING: Strong language.

 

So, to be clear: Trulove received $13.1 million from the City of San Francisco because of Harris’ failures. Because of this negative experience with the criminal justice system, Truelove still spouts the social justice nonsense, but openly admits that he has no love for the Democrat ticket and wants to stay clear of politics. He just wants an acting career. A career that was essentially ruined by Harris and her desire to climb the political ladder. 

The K-Hive, the Divine 9, and the cadre of identity politics Blackfaces in the Democrat Party want this to be forgotten; but Black men (and some women) have not forgotten.

Judge Joe Brown, who is no saint himself, but has had a solid career as an attorney, judge, and media personality, is particularly vociferous in his criticism of Kamala Harris. Brown was around during Harris’ rapid career rise in California, and has been very verbose about her questionable qualifications, her fraudulent record, and her corrupt practices. In a 2019 podcast interview, Brown had this to say:

Her record is not good. She has had ample opportunities approaching 50 years of age, to do a lot for Black people. She took none of those opportunities to do anything to advance Black causes. She is an opportunist, she is chameleon, and that is not a good thing.

If you’re going on 50 and you’ve done nothing to help Black folks at this point in your life, you’re not going to. 

Recently, Brown has had some more “colorful” stories about Harris which are more fit for TMZ than RedState. Suffice to say, he has no love lost for Harris or her manipulation of the Black community.

But the lesser known, but equally terrible actions that Harris took against the family of jazz singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone cements that, as far as Black people are concerned, Harris is not one of them. As Zora Neale Hurston said“All my skinfolk ain’t kinfolk.” 

Nina Simone’s daughter, Lisa Simone Kelly, claims that then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris took away her family’s rights and bullied Simone Kelly in court:  

Lisa Simone Kelly was made administrator of Simone’s estate and a charitable trust she had established after the singer’s death in 2003.

Court documents show she lost control after she was accused of “breaching her fiduciary duty” to both the estate and the trust.

[…]

[Granddaughter] RéAnna Simone Kelly added that Harris rubbed salt in her family’s wounds by having John Legend perform “Feeling Good” on the night of her inauguration as vice president.

Nina Simone is a cultural touchstone for many Blacks, particularly in terms of her civil rights advocacy. So this deliberate dissolution and co-opting of her legacy has not set well with many in the Black community.

The same #BlackTwitter tribe that has been swatting at the flies at the Harris’ barbeque, is also taking to X to declare that they are not voting for Harris as president:

I am a True Black American woman whose family have been here for centuries. I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR @VP Kamala Harris, she’s Indian who cosplay Black culture. 

Stop playing in our faces. #notangiblesnovote #stopillegalimmigration #CloseTheBorder #ReparationsNow #saveourkids 

Other Black thought leaders—not the ones that appear on MSNBC, Grio, and The Root—but the ones who actually live outside of the coastal bubble among regular people, are letting it be known that the cultural cosplay is particularly egregious. Influencers like Tariq Nasheed are mocking Harris over this:

Harris is scraping the bottom of the barrel of buffoonery, as this ridiculous blather about washing collard greens in a bathtub attests. This evokes the Hillary Clinton claims that she kept hot sauce in her purse:

Anton Daniels, entrepreneur and host of the “Millionaire Morning Show,” lights into a caller who has decided that because Kamala Harris is a Black woman, she deserves her vote.

WATCH:

Watch Anton Daniels schools this woman on a Zoom call for wanting to vote for Kamala Harris ONLY because she’s black.

 TRUTH :  “Do you not see how that’s a bad idea?  … We are in 3 proxy wars with some of the most powerful Leaders of the world.  She failed at the border… estimation of 15 to 20 million people illegally into this country.  That is literally overtaking and bankrupting Chicago… Oakland is going out of business… California $65 Billion deficit.  New York is literally cutting trash… Free healthcare, free hotels… they’re literally taking over your schools, your taxpayers dollars is going to funding the migrant crisis, she’s supposed to be in charge of this.  We have a failing economy… She has no policy, no record to stand on.  One of the biggest thing she did in her career is lock up more black men than ever before, but we sit here and vote her in office on identity politics… We did that during the Obama Administration and he didn’t do anything for black people…” 

FACTS, as the young people would say. Tim Black, host of the “Calling Out” podcast, is also not riding the identity politics wave. What I absolutely love about this commentary is that he brings to light a fact that politicians don’t want to recognize or acknowledge: There are many facets to the Black community, and one part may use the other part, but they may not necessarily like you or want to be around you. REAL TALK:

This Presidential election will reveal some tough truths within the Black Community. We’re already seeing some of these revelations unfold.

Some Black elites are excited about Kamala Harris because they feel proud to see someone like her running. Others aren’t interested because they don’t see how her election will improve their lives. 

Let me say this: We don’t need another Obama. We need our first Black FDR, and Biden wasn’t that. 

Let’s keep the conversation going. Here’s a clip that explains my point with fewer words. 

I love us.

Podcaster Melanie Brown also confirms that Blacks, and particularly Black men, are not signing on to this nonsense. Anton McDaniel augments much of Brown’s commentary, but she has some precise things to say about the mentality that exists among the Black elite that just because you are a Black person, you are supposed to back Kamala Harris’ presidential candidacy. 

Brown predicts a great migration, and affirms what I have seen: Kamala Harris does not have the Black vote locked up, and this anointing and lack of examination of who she is and her record is going to have the opposite effect of pushing Black voters away.
