Looks like I am a "racist" again. [View all]

Am watching the Establishment slap-down of those of us who are pushing back against Kamala Harris' sudden rise to the top of the Presidential pack based pretty much solely in her performance at the recent Senate hearings.

I am being told I have a "black" and/or "black woman" problem. Yes, that clearly must be it.

It has NOTHING to do with my years long, up-close-and-personal view of Harris' actions as a San Franciscan/Californian. It has NOTHING to do with my disappointment at seeing her courted at the Hamptons by the same 1%er interests that I have had a problem with for many, many years. It has NOTHING to do with my belief, based on my observations, that she will do little to address the cause of income inequality which has become foremost on my political agenda.

It's because she is a black woman and I am a racist.

And the Democratic Party continues to wonder why they lose people like myself...
