Kamala Harris….an attack of wokeness?

Hey readers, I do so much writing in forums like Disqus or FB, that it’s hard to keep track of all of it. Currently, I’m campaigning in Atlanta to keep Georgia blue and it’s hard to write much. Here’s a snipper I posted on FB chat one day when the moment moved me.

The idea that a vote for Kamala is a vote for Wokeism is not something I buy.

Wokeism (which I define as an over exaggeration of inequalities, not fighting for inequality itself) is less an actual government movement than a reactionary movement to historical and oppressive government policies. If you weren’t a fan of Black Lives Matter or intellectual exclusivity on college campuses, that stuff will multiply like hell if a madman who openly declares war on minorities enters the White House. Ditto Ron DeSantis.

As for whether Kamala is woke, she was a prosecutor who was tougher on black crime than the national average, and she never suggested anyone who broke the law in the BLM protests shouldn’t be arrested. Her chief allies were White, she faithfully served under a White president and while she’s proud of her heritage as a Jamaican and Indian and as a graduate of a HBCU, little suggests in her speeches that she’d cater to these communities.

If you read my writing, you would know that I rarely like to use or encourage people to overuse the word racism but if the only thing you know about Kamala is she’s half Black and assume that she represents a woke Armageddon that fits the definition of the r word. Additionally, Fox News and the like are playing off people’s bias that she would be dangerously woke because she is half-black so there is racism in falling into that information ecosystem
