People attacked Kamala record as a prosecutor, did you know she was best friends with Michele Alexander? Her sister, Maya co-wrote The New Jim Crow

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

People dont realize this but Kamala was literally the most progressive AG in the country...THATS how far the country has come on criminal justice reform...

Can Harris' sister help her overcome the "Kamala is a cop" rap?

Maya Harris brings to the campaign a long track record as a civil rights advocate—and the hard-earned lessons of 2016.

www.motherjones.com

In the thick of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for president—when the candidate tried and often failed to land her message of criminal justice reform with young voters of color, when activists were calling on her to account for her previous support of her husband’s crime bill that devastated black communities two decades earlier, when the terms “mass incarceration” and “new Jim Crow” were becoming the buzzwords to define the wreckage Clinton herself was said to symbolize—Maya Harris would sit back at campaign headquarters in Brooklyn and sigh. She didn’t just know the issues. She helped edit the book on them. Sometimes the passages being tweeted at her people were the exact words she’d pored over, draft after draft, in The New Jim Crow, written by her longtime friend from law school, Michelle Alexander.

...

Meanwhile, for decades, one of her closest friends was Alexander, the civil rights lawyer and academic whose 2010 book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, helped usher in an era of reevaluating tough-on-crime policies that landed generations of poor black people behind bars. In the book’s acknowledgements, Alexander praises Maya for reading several drafts of the book and “never tiring of the revision process.” But until Kamala was elected to the Senate in 2016, incarcerating people was a job requirement for her, one that she has tried, and sometimes failed, to fully own up to since announcing her run for president.

Are you and Kamala from the same village in India?

Taking a position that you believe in politically is perfectly fine in my opinion, but I do wonder if full on advertising for a political party is a bit too much.

most progressive my ass....she was on tv debating Hoe Biden and basically called him out for his racist policies....only to jump on the election ticket with him. She has been ineffective as a VP and alot of reports are coming out about how angry she is for not getting more of the spotlight. She was appropriating black culture during her presidential run and then said she ain't doing shyt for black folk.

Send her back to india

I'd gladly sock this OP in his curryhole if given the opportunity

She polled like 6% with black people. Use the money she was given to campaign and didn't go campaign with it. She doesn't want to be around black people like that even when it's her job. She just wants to use her racial identities as a convenience to get where she wants to go.
