Vice President Kamala Harris is a race hustler, a divider when the nation needs a unifier.
If Democrats make Harris the nominee for the nation’s top job, Americans will be given a stark choice in November: between racial preferences and fairness. A President Harris would rub raw the racial divisions in this country and ignite new violence in our streets.
In 2020, it was then-Sen. Harris who cheered on the Black Lives Matter protesters terrorizing neighborhoods and businesses after the tragic death of George Floyd. It was Harris who urged Americans to put up cash bail for BLM protesters arrested in Minneapolis for attempted murder, burglary and other crimes.
In 2023, it was Harris who bashed the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that colleges must base admissions on merit, not skin color. She rejected the court’s ideal of a colorblind society, arguing that being colorblind is being blind to “the strength that diversity brings to classrooms, to boardrooms.”
The Washington Post and Time magazine published reviews this week of where Harris stands on the issues. Racial preferences were conspicuously omitted. No wonder. Her views are toxic.
Harris telegraphed what she would do, given the authority, in a 2020 campaign ad explaining the difference between equality and equity. It pictured a Black man and a white man, and said equality means “everyone should get the same amount.” But treating everyone equally regardless of race is wrong, she went on, because “not everybody’s starting out from the same place.” Equity means “we all end up at the same place.”
Using racial preferences to ensure all Americans end up in the same place — a nauseatingly un-American goal — is Harris’ agenda.
Harris has been the driving force behind the Biden administration’s all-of-government push for equity in hiring, job promotions and government benefits. Translation: White males go to the back of the line.
Biden told radio host Charlamagne tha God during the 2020 campaign that if he had trouble deciding how to vote — for Biden or Trump — then “you ain’t Black.” Biden’s racial views are not sophisticated.
Harris, on the other hand, embraced a sophisticated rationale — equity.
On Jan. 21, 2021, one day after the inauguration, the administration announced its governmentwide push for equity. Her fingerprints are all over it.
Buried in the administration’s first major legislation, the American Rescue Plan, is debt relief for farmers. Not all farmers, however. White farmers need not apply. Section 1005 provided hundreds of thousands of no-strings debt forgiveness for “socially disadvantaged” farmers, a term defined elsewhere in federal law based solely on ethnicity and race.
The same kind of discrimination marred the bill’s aid to restaurant owners, granting them up to $5 million per facility, but there’s a hitch. Only women, veterans and owners from “socially disadvantaged” racial groups could apply during the program’s first three weeks. White male restaurant owners go to the back of the line, and hope the program’s money didn’t run out.
Sounds more like reparations legislation than COVID-19 relief.
Reparations without the label.
Fortunately, federal judges struck down these racist provisions. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amul Thapar cited Chief Justice John Roberts’ 2007 plurality opinion declaring that “the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
Harris doesn’t believe that.
Harris took a lot of heat in 2022 for suggesting Hurricane Ian aid would be distributed based on “equity.”
The Biden-Harris administration’s proposed infrastructure legislation, Build Back Better, was also chock full of anti-white racism. Contractors and subcontractors would get priority only if they were owned by minorities or women. White male businessowners could take a hike, even if they were in depressed areas.
Far-left members of Congress are eyeing a Harris presidency to push forward with equity, by executive order if necessary. In February, members of Congress led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Biden and Harris, urging them to appoint a reparations committee in Congress and reminding them that “seventy-two million-plus voters” supported them “in large part due to promises and ideas about equity.”
Biden is toast, but Harris is poised to put equity into action.
Would a Harris presidency be peaceful? Maybe not. When BLM protesters took to the streets in 2020, Harris said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that the protesters “are not going to stop. They’re not.” She added, “And they should not, and we should not.”
Fair warning.
Racism won’t cure past racism. And race warrior Harris won’t heal the nation.

Great leaders are never afraid to hire strong qualified people under them that bring more to the table than just an appetite, unafraid to question and correct each other when they are wrong, and passionately support each other when they are right,,people who when paired, create a successful synergism where the whole is always greater than the sum of the individual parts, and when they do finally part, leave each other much better, wiser, and stronger for having known each other. Trump/Vance are two such men,,,,,but Joe/Kamala are splitting much stronger only in deception, but much weaker in personal integrity or success in governing. Failure has become their comfort Zone, and party always prevails over Country. Soon we will see if Kamala has the strength and integrity to select a strong Veep who will enrich her spirit and keep her from stumbling,,,unlike what Kamala offered Joe, who like most who pursue secular socialism just end up like Marxist useful idiots, cast aside when no longer useful. It never ends well for THE PEOPLE who get beguiled to follow them. Few Americans other than the upper leadership of the Democrat party have come away better for having known Joe and Kamala, and are much worse for trusting they would keep their promises, let alone keep their word. It is such things as these that decide elections, when the masks fall off and their delusions in unreality get revealed.
The damage and racial division this Hurricane Kamala blew in with, and has left us these past 4 years, tore the lipstick off this pig who thinks she can fly, as the border continues to fall apart, faster than a Biden/Kamala re-election campaign. Now all that is left is the leftist left-hand half, of a half-witted political combination who only achieved actions that diminished themselves in the eyes of THE PEOPLE, who all are now left worse off for having been blown up by their dynamite deceptions of a demented Democrat dynamic duo. Kamala in action is just childhood rhyme poetry in motion, and is just an empty husk, with not enough corn left to feed the racist Heckle & Dr Jeckel magpies of her party. Surely sans Joe and Kamala and their Pelosi puppeteer, there has to be at least 10 righteous Patriotic candidates left in this morally diminished democrat party that can field an honest enriching Presidential candidacy? But for 10 righteous men, God would have Spared Sodom and Gomorrah, and this party awaits the same fate unless they abandon their current leaders and return to Making American Great, and God blessed, and offer female candidates that are the salt of the earth, not there-imaged salt of Lot’s wife.
NAME ONE DEM, who isn’t a race hussling ANTI WHITE MALE person!
Leftist- progressive-democrat, Kamala Harris, Endorsed by democrat Presidet, Joe Biden To run for President since he wasn’t going to run for President again…” Inside Every Progressive Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out

And how OBAMA Has jumped on the kiss Kamala’s butt bandwagon.
“Kamala Harris Is a Race Hustler” This DEI, Woke Democrat is as racist as they come.
Nothing should be about “Race or Gender” ! Everything should be about the best qualified for any given job or position !!
These Dishonorable, DEI, woke, socialist Democrat Party’s phony anti-racist crusades or ANY crusade have little or nothing to do with protecting the civil rights or sensitivities of people of color, any race or gender or anybody else and everything to do with the Democrats setting themselves up as their saviors. Their practice of patronizing groups cannot yield to the facts that the Democrat Party has a long history of racial discrimination. The Democrat Party’s is not defending the oppressed or the offended but about making themselves look wonderful with their latest destructive racial political Con.
What always gets me is how many folks see “ANTI-whiteness/Anti-maleness” AS NOT BEING sexist/racist…
” Two Tiered Justice System,” under democrat parrty, ” For Thee But Not For Me.”
She couldn’t even hold the job of California Lieutenant Governor. We don’t need anybody that can chuckle like her, we need brains, faithfulness and one who loves the Constitution, no laughing clowns need apply, please.
