Black voters aren’t too happy about Joe Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris, so say recent polls.

Since the former Vice President picked the Indian-Jamaican Senator from California, the media has been fawning over her. But voters feel differently.

Rasmussen reported that after national telephone and online survey finds that 76 percent of Likely Democratic Voters have a favorable impression of Harris, including 48 percent who have a Very Favorable impression.

And while just 18 percent of Democrats have an unfavorable view of California’s former attorney general, with 11 percent who say Very Unfavorable, Black voters really don’t feel the same.

I can see why there's push back among black voters.  K.H. is the safest black lady Biden would dare bring forward as VP; she's very light skinned and not African-American.  Black voters very much see distinctions between the tone of skin color.  And it can be contentious within the community.  I've seen this played out in my workplace.

Since her ancestors owned more slaves (Jamaican) than 90% of the rest of the whites in this country?

Shocked I tell ya....

Specifically, though the term "High Yellow" is considered offensive today, the concept is alive and thriving within the rural black community, and creates more anomisity than people realize.   As a child, I remember black folks routinely discussing their less than desireable brethren in less than glowing terms. 

I think that is the Camel-uh factor playing in, outside urban areas.

I have been wondering how the black community would respond to this pick. When I see her she really doesn't look black at all. And has a lot of baggage that might well be a turn off. Heck...back in the day when I used to get a tan I was darker and never owned any slave. Nor did my ancestors.

Of course, O wasn't truly black either and look where he ended up.

Not excited about Kammy?

All across America, little girls of alternatively Tamil and Afro-Caribbean descent, depending on which is most politically useful at the moment, who have been endlessly told by unspecified haters that they can never be nominated to be vice president, were inspired at Kamala Harris' selection by whoever selected her on behalf of Grandpa Badfinger. Yes, if they hook up with a powerful married Democrat man, that initial connection can fuel their rise to power too.  ...

Now, criticizing Kamala (pronounced "i wil pr?' nouns h?r nam ene wa i dam wel plez") Harris has been officially declared racist and cisgender and sexist, as well as sexist, cisgender, and racist, by The New York Times, all of pinko Twitter, and the Fredocons, so we better not criticize her. Got that? No criticism. You must just sit back and let the tsunami of excitement created by the nomination of this avaricious grasper wash over you.

Can't you feel the excitement? It's exciting! We know, because the media told us that people are thrilled that Gropey J's fickle finger of failure fell upon Kamala. And that she's a "pragmatic moderate." And, again, that no one can criticize her, because if you do, then you are all the horrible -ist and -phobe things that they have already been calling you for years.  ...

It's odd that we are supposed to ignore bad behavior unique to women in the name of abolishing sexism, yet we are also supposed to celebrate the unique uniqueness of people with cervixes. Grrrrls are powerful and wonderful because they are grrrrls, but if you observe that they can also be bad in ways men generally aren't, well, that's sexism because reasons and shut up.

No wonder this SJW stuff is a punchline.  ...

It's amazing what can be done with apparent skin tone with lighting and a little manipulation. Look at how pasty George Zimmerman got in the lens...
