Why Does Kamala Get Special Protection From Racist Attacks?
Eddie Scarry
Vice President Kamala Harris is a light skinned Jamaican-Indian woman married to a white man and if it weren’t for the fact that she’s a Democrat, the news media would be savagely attacking her for both until November.
Rest assured that if Harris were running for president as a Republican, calling her a “D.E.I. hire” would be the kindest thing printed about her in The New York Times. The more relentlessly vicious commentary would focus on her “proximity to whiteness” and her “light-skinned privilege.” There’s no question she’d be called a white supremacist.
We know this because it’s what Democrats and the media do all the time to black conservatives and Republicans.
