THREAD on the media erasure of #KamalaHarris

When I first heard Kamala supporters say the media was erasing Kamala I thought they were being overly dramatic. But they brought receipts, and I've gathered more.

These tweets by @ShelDiehl describe how Kamala was erased the day after she gave her groundbreaking speech at the Liberty & Justice dinner in Iowa. (WaPost: "She received a rousing ovation, even from other candidates’ supporters.")

After this week's Democratic debate in which Kamala was widely considered the clear WINNER, @NBCNews didn't even include her in its "Top Moments" video clips.

Another erasure by @NBCNews of Kamala from the Democratic debate this week. This was the morning after on their home page.

Again, she WON the debate.

Where is she???

Today on NPR's "All Things Considered Weekend Edition," the guest listed the candidates from this week's DemDebate, but his ONLY comment about the entire debate was, "In the end, nothing really happened."

Again, Kamala WON the debate.

We ALL know why this is happening. A black candidate who also happens to be a woman? Running for the highest office in America & the most powerful position in the world?

We can all do the (racist & misogynist) math. 😠😠

We white people have got some hard questions to ask ourselves, because racism-- from subtle to extreme-- is endemic among us.

Men, you have some hard questions to ask yourselves, because the same is true for misogyny.

As a white woman, I'm sickened to see this happening in 2019. I won't stay silent while this outstanding candidate is forced to fight JUST TO BE SEEN & HEARD.

I will call out any media outlet who erases her. You?
