  • Resumen

  • There has been such disrespect towards VP Harris in calling her a DEI hire. If people want to play that route, will the pick for Vice President be called a "DEI hire" as well? The notion put out is that she has to pick a White, sis-gendered Christian male because America may not be ready for an all female ticket like Harris/Whitmer or a gay VP like Pete Buttigiege or a Jewish VP like Shapiro. I hope that America will be at a point where it can reject this because it is basically White male privilege rearing its head again although a more specific type of White male and that is wrong. I completely expect that to happen this cycle around but I hope beyond this election, America can move beyond this myopic thinking. #kamalaharris #kamala #winwithblackwomen #winwithblackmen #harris2024 #jdvance STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com __ Dr. Omékongo Dibinga is the UPstander.
