Identity Politics.  I find this type of pandering insulting to whoever the pick is especially when they define the "must be" as female and a person of color.  Why not just say I picked the person I believe is most qualified and it is Harris.  Its degrading
Come on man. Do better than this. He said he would pick a woman. He never said he was going to pick a woman of color. He said he would put a woman of color on the Supreme Court. And what’s the issue with saying you want to have a woman as your VP? If he wants to have a ticket that represents what our country looks like, that’s a good thing. He never said Harris wasn’t the most qualified. He never said she wasn’t the best for the ticket. Gotta do better man. 

 
Ahh the racist telling me that I’m not so much pro-black race. That I’m a Marxist. Yet he doesn’t know anything about my views outside of: I’m 100% pro-black. All day everyday. That I don’t think police should be allowed to kill people. That I will be voting for Biden. And I think he and Donald Trump are racists. Yet from that he can determine I am a Marxist. That’s fine. How about you come out for the closet and admit you’re a f##king racist??? Can you please do that. Thanks. 

 
Yo did this sirhorns guy graduate from UT?? If so they need to give me some money back. They’re letting mouth-breathing idiots like him get diplomas? Must have been back before they upped the qualifications to get in. Still, next time they call asking for a donation.... I’m going to ask them to look at his posts and let them know I can’t keep donating to a school that has morons like this representing us. It’s a bad look.

If you were 100% pro-black, you'd be pretty ticked right now that a marxist movement has stolen your stage.

All those kids in Chicago that get killed every week and they do and say nothing. This wasn't a dead giveaway to you? Do THOSE black lives matter? Well, no, they don't. You and BLM kept your pie holes shut.

Your positions are an insult to any black advocate, who wishes for no special favors, reparations, etc., because such things insult their intelligence. 

Your position match those of a marxist, which Dennis Prager described yours to a T without ever having met you.

This upset you. It should have. You probably didn't even know your views were marxist.

 
Wait UT doesn’t call you for donations?? I sure do get calls and texts from them asking me to donate. Next time I will have to answer and ask some questions. Apparently I’ve been getting calls from people not from the university. And I just got a text today. I guess it’s an elaborate scheme.

I’m not a Marxist but I guarantee I would rather be that than a racist. Sucks to be exposed as a racist doesn’t it sirhorns. 

 
Wait have I had conversations with this racist before for him to know my views on what’s happening in Chicago?? No he must have me confused with his “black friend”. He probably thinks we all look alike. And it’s funny an old racist thinks he knows what a black advocate thinks. Ta-Nehisi Coates, black advocate. Supports reparations. The biggest black advocate we’ve known, MLK, supported reparations. Yet this racist tells me my position insults black advocates?? Maybe the racist should stop watching white people talk about what black people want. Then he would stop saying stupid stuff like black advocates are against reparations. Next thing he will tell us the civil rights fighters were against affirmative action because. Because we should listen to a racist on topics of black advocacy?? ???

"Whomever I pick, preferably it will be someone who was of color and/or a different gender, but I'm not making that commitment until I know that the person I'm dealing with I can completely and thoroughly trust as authentic and on the same page [as me]," Biden said while speaking to a roundtable of black journalists.



Joe Biden will choose ‘woman of color’ as running mate by August


Joe Biden said Tuesday he had prepared a list of “women of color” for consideration to be his running mate in November — but that he wouldn’t announce a decision until August.

I do realize he was considering all women at one point.  Gretchen Whitmer was in consideration along with others as well.  My point isnt that none of are qualified.  I never said that.  I said it would have been better IMO to never say this upfront and just pick one of them and say among everyone I think this person is the most qualified.  Why confine it before the choice is named?  Just say "I have my pick and among all possible candidates I have chosen Harris.  She was more qualified than anyone else."  That would have looked better to women instead being the best choice among women

Again man, do better. I’m trying. I’m trying. But again you’re going with the standard BS. The first article you posted was from 2019 and he said he would like a woman of color but said he wouldn’t commit. The second article didn’t have a quote from Biden or his campaign saying that he has committed. You know why? Because he hadn’t. If you just did a search you would have seen articles written After the 6/30 one you posted about how he needed to pick a woman of color. Because he hadn’t committed to it yet. There was even talk a week or so before Harris was pick that Gov Whitmer was meeting with him and people. She was on air and didn’t deny she was meeting with him about the VP selection. If he had come out like you said and committed to selecting a woman of color. There would be no need to have her own to discuss that. Again man. I’m trying. But if you’re willing to lie or push nonsense like this. I don’t know that there’s a real dialogue to be had.

I added the paragraph after the post of links.  I have zero problem with a female president or vp.  You are right he was considering all women at one point.  Gretchen Whitmer, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, and maybe a few others.  He has always said that person must be "simpatico" with him.  My point was IMO it would have been better to just pick a woman after looking at all candidates, men and women, instead of narrowing his selection before hand.  Just my opinion.  It sends a stronger message to women.

I’m not a woman so I won’t pretend to know what would have been a stronger message. But the woman in my life didn’t care that it was announced it was a woman. They thought it was an obvious selection. The best VP candidates were women. Women want representation. Biden recognized that and he made the decisive choice to let it be known he would have a woman as his VP. If I know I want BBQ. I don’t need to consider other food options. I just need to know if I’m going to Franklins, Micklethwait, or Valentina’s. The reason is irrelevant.

And on a side note. I haven’t looked but does this board have a thread for places to try in the state?? That’s definitely something needed.

I made this comment because my wife said it to me when this was going on and we discussed it.  I can see her point. 

She also hates it when men buy flowers for their wives on Valentines day.  I know weird right?  I think so to but she has always said I would rather you buy me flowers on a random day than on the day you are supposed to because society says you should.  LOL

I guess I can see her point.

People are different. My girlfriend wants flowers on Valentines Day. Does make either woman right or wrong.
