On the off chance that anyone on this board doesn't understand the privilege given [View all]

to white males, look at what has happened just in the last few hours. Right now, two absolute drooling idiots and moral degenerates are commanding press attention, and one is a candidate for President with a decent chance of winning!

NEVER, never would a minority male or a woman of any race with so little to offer be seen by anyone as worthy of attention.

And yet, our nominee Kamala Harris just gave a truly historic acceptance speech at the convention. She's a master communicator and an intellectual giant. But it's not enough. She must answer questions according to the corporate media's schedule because she may not be able to handle whatever it is they decide is important. There is no way she will be judged equally when she does do such an interview. We all know that.
