How White journalists fail in their Coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris

[Mongidig]

Where is she? I've never witnessed a more invisible Vice President in my lifetime.

 

[Luce]

Choosing a black woman who called you a racist is about the stupidest VP pick move in history.

Nonsense. VP candidates are always stupid picks.

George Bush Sr called Reagan's plan "voodoo economics" and he was the VP pick a few months later.
Biden made the infamous "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." comment. Then he was the VP pick.

And that's not even bringing Al Gore or Spiro Agnew into it.

Reaching out to someone who compliments your political views is common. Bush grabbed Pence for the religious vote. Obama picked Biden because he was a moderate white guy with name recognition. What is uncommon is picking someone who has publicly said that they essentially hate your guts by accusing you of being racist and personally made you suffer from racial discrimination. The problem Biden had was that he promised to choose a minority woman and he needed someone with youth to make up for the fact that he's become addled. He left himself with a very small list of viable choices.

Why is white capitalized in the title? It's not an ethnicity or nationality. Usually it's capitalized because someone is pretending it's a nationality. Guess who.

Thats not correct Eco, White is indeed a heritage and a DAMN PROUD one too IMO.

He was correct to capitalize the word White imo.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Remember when people cared about who the Vice President was?

LMAO. Neither do I.

We don't capitalize heritages. And there's no such thing as white heritage.

Your claims are pure white nationalist bs. You're spewing racist garbage.

 

[Lloyd Christmas]

More whiny right wing bullshit. stop projecting already. Such whiny losers. YOu have no facts on your side, that's why the world is against you

Since when do VPs do much? WTF did Pence do other than fluff Trump? Christ, you people are sad

Kamala is an incompetent, pathetic waste of space which opens her up to all sorts of criticism because she is also such an easy target.

Projection. don't be so hard on yourself

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

That's what white nationalists say. And we don't capitalize heritages. And there's no such thing as white heritage.

Your claims are pure white nationalist bs.

Looks like we have a difference of opinion re: this issue Eco.

You almost sound "anti-racist" (ie: racist against Whites).

I dont care for it.

You are spewing white nationalist bs. In a thread about Harris; so, no surprise.

Bush didn't grab Pence, although he may have liked it. Trump...

Well, someone woke up from their nap in the echo chamber,

Some of us don't live in this room.
We have other things to do other than spreading lies and pushing a socialist agenda.

 

[Maxell;4]

You may not have noticed, but this is a DEBATE Forum and not a Message Board ... ?

A debate forum. Yeah, I saw that.
But do you understand what a debate is?
By definition alone, a forum cannot be a debate.
But that's OK. But what would you like to debate?
Here's one:
Would you like to debate the purpose of personal attacks in a "debate forum"?
You seem to use personal attacks rather than "debate" facts.
is that a tactic you embrace?
I think it's your turn. Keep it civil, factual and certainly without any personal attacks.
Think you can do that, professor?

 

[Lafayette]

A debate forum. Yeah, I saw that.
But do you understand what a debate is?
By definition alone, a forum cannot be a debate.

From an online dictionary definition of a debate-forum here:

A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

you just prefer spreading right wing lies, and pushing fascist agendas.

 

[Lafayette]

POLITICAL-POWER SAINTHOOD

you just prefer spreading right wing lies, and pushing fascist agendas.

They are typically the same dreary one-liner blah-blah-blahs because they have little-or-NO argument based upon factual evidence. (Besides the fact that neither the Right nor the Left in the US is "saintly" when it comes to political power. Politics is far too often "about the money"!)

In fact, factual-evidence is so complex both sides should/could exploit it! It is well anchored in America's political-debate. When you look at American history it is mostly about the Rule-of-the-Right to maintain low income-taxation thereby generating the funds necessary to maintain Replicant presence in the various state and national political-power levels.

However, there are some positive "awakenings" in the US particularly amongst the poor of their political-power in the voting-booth. That will take more time to evolve, but one day may actually change the political power-balance in the US.

Time will tell - to the vigilant eye it always does so ...

 

[Mason66]

She's incompetent and a Kook....... NOT because she's black or a woman........but because she's incompetent and a KOOK!!!

Kook is not the word I would use.

Despicable is the word I would use.

 

[Mason66]

The difference is Harris is likely going to be the Democratic nominee at some point. Therefore, it is important to slander her as much as possible now in prep for when she is the nom. As the time grows closer, there will be calls for "investigations" into Harris' outrageous criminal or traitorous behavior. Of course, these "investigations" will go nowhere, amount to nothing, but they will continue for most of the campaign season. They will only serve to hinder Harris politically and when they do, Mission Accomplished! If, at some point she is no longer the likely nom, then the attacks will stop and move onto whomever the the likely nom is. This is the GOP/FOX News playbook.

No slander is necessary. Her record is enough to show who she is.

 

[Mason66]

I don't need to defend her. She's a mediocre politician at most that you're told to hate despite you supporting politicians that are significantly worse.

Who is worse than Harris?

 

[Mason66]

As a citizen of California I think the press hasn't been hard enough on this total disaster of a vice president. She is probably the worst decision sleepy Joe Biden has ever made. If Black democrat voters had looked closer at her record, even they would not have voted for her.

I never thought it possible, but Harris is more unpopular than Hillary was.

Do you think black voters were ignorant of her atrocities or did they just not care because of her color?

 

[Court Jester]

Do you think black voters were ignorant of her atrocities or did they just not care because of her color?

I think her lack of genuineness, and her constant awkward effort to come off as a regular person, but fails to sell it, is what is not appreciated.

Bottom line: she is a big phony

Someone falling back on the Liberals' favorite chestnut: "Racist!"

the segment White racist within America have always lied when confronted and yet, their mentality and their conduct has always shown itself for 100's of years and they try and deflect by denying the same racist ignorance that so many are consumed with. Still pissed off they can't have a repeat of the 1950's.
These old ass race bigots that run to the forums can't contain their ingrained racist ignorance, and many of them make themselves some of the low lives with society who can't live their own life for trying to promote their racist stupidity. The decades will continue to see many of them die out as the nation continues to move on past their ignorance. We know many try their best to fill the youth with the same race ignorance they grew up with, their grand parents grew up with and they keep trying to pass it on to the next generation of young people trapped in their evil racist environments. The same environment where they think they own and control society.
History has seen what they will do for money, envious and resentful bias and bigotry against not just black people, but against the independence of women, and the poor whites are abused because they don't have the educational background to side step the racism madness that has seen them destitute for generations.

If they were the delusion of superiority they fool themselves to fictionalize in their minds, they wouldn't be sitting on their asses crying 'we've been left behind', while they consume themselves with fear about anything and everything, because the wealthy white man did not give them something for free. They stomp around with arrogance and when confronted with face, their own self made inferiority of incompetence faces them in the face and they want to attack others because they did not invest their own lives in improving their lives, so they want to try and push blacks, brown and women down, to try and make themselves feel better about their own lack of educating and applying themselves to be contributors of something positive in life. So, they'd rather attack and try and destroy things and civic and civil society than... get busy and join in to making society better for all.

They are as bad as the savage mentality of their ancestry that slaughtered the Indians and all the historical atrocities, and their asses are still poor, anguished and filled with fear of trying to hoard everything and attack the society, because they can't be the type of savagery to covet everything. Look at the history of media that groomed them, shows with nothing but crime, and old westerns were they were filled with killing, and robbing each other and living in drunken bars and fighting and gun-slinging and talking brutish bullshit, and they applaud that, and they have the audacity to be proud of that imagery. For decades this has been fed into them as self modeling imagery, when the big picture of that imagery was always about savage acts upon and against each other, and doing anything for money. It was pushed as entertainment, but it was culture molding ideology beamed into the homes of America for decades.
Now, the media is full with cop shows, with them creating any kind of madness and murder of any sort, while soap operas play daily, of people cheating on friends and husbands, swindling and bickering and then they put a pretty face on to sob for 2.5 minutes and they eat it up and try and emulate that craziness and call it living habits. Media Indoctrinations, and they can't even step back and see it. The sitcom that so many are addicted to, is nothing more than a series of put down commentary wrapped in a laugh tract, and then they try and emulate it... and get pissed off because their lives don't look like a stage set full of caricatures.

Many can't even see what they do to themselves, where they put these images of skinny girls on media with a bunch of make up on, acting like a sex lure toy, and then when they don't get the prize, they claim abuse and as age sets in they rush up to claim "abuse', as if they had no responsibility for managing their own lives and sexual escapades. They have kids going into depression because they can't and don't live and look like a damn TV commercial, and other going in debt trying to lose themselves in trying to recreate the media imagery, and then want to blame society and attack black people as their excuse for their own choice they themselves made.

It's like the racist who know they are racist and deny it when it exposed. It's about as stupid at the "lying Republicans" who did everything to try and steal the election and when they could not they tried to Coup D'eta and then lying about it when they got caught.

Wake the hell up...

I'm happy that I work with white people who don't exhibit or have racist attitude and they don't present racist stupidity, and I have white people in my family who call out the racism of the white people they encounter who try to feed that stupidly to them. I've had white mates, and white friends, who have no problem talking about the racist they have met and how those racist do stuff and want to take no responsibility for when they are called out on it.
The people I work with don't present the ignorance of racism... they simply talk about life and living, and work like everyone else and respect the work of others as being as important as the work they do.
They don't walk around thinking they are better than others based on their skin, they don't walk around resentful of others because of what others work to get and choose to buy for themselves.

The white people I encounter in daily living are nothing like these racist bigots that like to come to this site and spew their ignorance and stand back being proud of it.
I enjoy sharing time and experience with the white people I have daily interaction and friendships with... they are genuine people. They can't stand the crap that the Right Wing Republican white people push and many have found out they can't associate with peace with some of their family members who got hung up in that Trumpist stupidity.
They hated to hear that ass hole pushing that dumb stupidity he did in Arizona and all the crap he did for 4 yrs, they want nothing to do with it.
I have friends who have many different mixtures of racial friends and none of them can stand to be around those who embrace racist ignorance. They are people who help each other, share their experiences and their knowledge and their skills with each other.

These types that come to this site with their ignorance don't even know their own history, beyond the bias and bigotry they live trying to kiss the ass of the wealthy as if they think the wealthy will give them something for being and demonstrating racist stupidly.

There's a big difference in people in reality, than these assholes that come here trying to promote their Jim Crow past historical ignorance. Yes, I see white people who will walk past and act like they are walking on a cloud, but many that I personally encounter don't display the racist ignorance that is seen in these type of forums.

The white people I encounter see the work Biden is doing and they support voting rights bills and Build Back Better, because they know the needs in society and the things that this will improve for everyone.
I'm sure there are 10's of Million more white people who are aware and respect the works this administration is doing, because they understand the challenges.

So, for those who are aware, DON'T get caught up in the drama and attack madness of these racist imbeciles.... side step it and move on away from it. Don't feed into... call it out... and turn your focus to what makes America and American peoples lives better and more unified.

I call out the ignorance of racist stupidity, and any with any mind that thinks beyond wanting to be belligerent racist asshole, can and do read and think without trying to play victim. They acknowledge how they have been damaged by the history of white nationalist madness and wealthy white male dominance ... and they don't want to carry any of that crap into the future.

You have no been around many professional people... you don't seem to understand the public decorum of public professional people.
You maybe like the stupidity of people like M. Green, and Bobbitt, and think they are some model of imagery.

It's as simply as why people who are right winger conservatives, cater to Trump talking like a 8 yr old, because the intellect level of people like Obama, Hillary, Biden and Harris... does not come off with the loose lip, flip belligerence and arrogance attack something demeanor.

LOL--- you've got not nothing to respond, so you default to a strawman. What makes you think I'm a fan of Green and Bobbitt? Where did I ever say those were the sharpest tools in the shed? I didn't,

Kamala Harris is a foolish cackling bobble head phony asshole. And since I am a citizen of California, I am perfectly in my rights to call her out as such. She has been a failure in every position she has held, and the ONLY reason many lazy uninformed voters in California voted for her was for three reasons: 1) democrat, 2) woman, 3) Black.

It's as simply as why people who are right winger conservatives, cater to Trump talking like a 8 yr old,

I didn't vote for Trump, so why say this to me. I would NOT vote for Trump; I had watched his TV show, so I already knew he had a narcissistic personality disorder.

because the intellect level of people like Obama, Hillary, Biden and Harris... does not come off with the loose lip, flip belligerence and arrogance attack something demeanor.

You named Obama, Hillary, Biden and Harris. Do you want my opinion on each one?

Obama: Intelligent, well spoken, and sadly disappointing as the first Black president after he caved into the far left of his party rather than transending that urge and being a leader for all of Americans, Republicans too. I didn't vote for him, but was happy to finally see a Black president, and figured that would be a moment where America could finally end many of our divisions, however all he did was create even more divisions sadly enough.

Hillary: She is NOT Bill. JV league trying to cash in on her husband's name. Because the DNC allowed her to take all of the air out of their party in 2016, a guy llike Donald Trump became possible as an esier choice for many Americans. Trump was a dark horse, a gamble. But since Hillary was a well known entity, she was not as popular as she was sold to be.

Biden: A 40+ history of being and empty suit. So bad in fact that even Obama refused to endorse Biden until Biden was the only choice left.

Harris: As already stated. She is bobbleheaded phony and her disaproval ratings among even democrats pretty much says it all.
