Kamala Harris and the problem with ‘political blackness’

The issue of racial authenticity has become a national topic in two consecutive presidential elections. In 2020, Joe Biden stirred up trouble with his infamous comment, “If you’re not sure whether to support me or Trump, you’re not black.”

At the time, Biden’s gaffe sparked a debate about “political blackness,” which has now been deleted. Tweet Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones said, “There’s a difference between being politically black and being racially black. I’m not defending anyone, but we all know this, and we should stop pretending we don’t know.”

To the left, “diversity” means people who look different all saying the same thing.

Donald Trump has caused a lot of controversy recently. stated Despite strong condemnation from Harris’ supporters in the media, news recently broke that Vice President Kamala Harris, whose mother is of Indian descent, had “turned black,” and Trump’s question touched on topics that are already being debated, including race, ethnicity, identity, nationality, bloodline and culture. brewing Within the black community.

Some would argue that the fact that being black is a net gain for multiracial American politicians should be seen as a sign of progress. That said, the excessive focus on race by both parties in this election is deeply unhealthy for our politics. American voters have a right to hear about policies that advance their interests, not the identities of their elected officials.

It doesn’t matter if Kamala Harris is 1/8 or 100% black. I will not vote for her because the worldview and values ​​of the party she represents are completely opposite to mine. Democrats believe that politicians can manipulate words to create reality. They believe that with words they can turn men into women, control the weather, and turn unwanted children in the womb from babies into “blobs of cells.”

Her party also believes that masculinity is toxic and feminism is empowering, and based on its rhetoric and policies, her party believes that women and children will thrive when they receive support from elected and unelected officials, just as they will when men have their rightful place as leaders in the home.

When the Democrats host their national convention later this month, there is no chance that pro-life Christians who believe in traditional marriage will be invited to deliver a message about the importance of family. To the left, “diversity” means people who look different but all say the same thing. That’s why choosing a Democrat to run for president is an exercise in choosing a favorable representative of radical policies.

Harris fits into the identity categories the left loves, but Democrats can wear whatever gender ideology and abortion-on-demand they want. They can’t run Joe Biden, who is old enough to have actually been pregnant. friend A transgender “ally” who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan hired a man who thought he was a woman face The breakdown of our public health system. These are the issues voters should be hearing about this election, not whether Kamala Harris would take a DNA test to see if she is of African descent.

I can’t stand the way the left weaponizes identity for its own political gain. Progressives use race and gender as both sword and shield, touting the historical nature of a candidate’s identity while labeling criticism that comes with running for office as “racist” and “sexist.” Additionally, wealthy politicians who oppose school choice blame poor black parents for their poor choices. their No kid would come within 100 yards of him unless they were part of a volunteer program for “at-risk youth.”

This is a clever ploy to make voters think the party has their interests in mind when the candidates’ melanin levels match those of the voters. The left constantly talks about the diversity of the Democratic Party, but what’s the point in voting for someone who doesn’t share your values ​​and promote your policies? Representation that matters is based on political interest, not personal history. The president is on the ballot, not the one-drop rule.
