There’s been a lot of back and forth behind Joes VP pick lately. There are those who have issues with Kamala and/or KHive that are trying to make ppls advocacy of her as “bitterness” and “cultishness”....it’s not.

For the majority of us it’s about justice and fairness. (Thread) https://twitter.com/cbsnews/status/1247467105324126208
It’s no secret that black voters overwhelmingly supported Joe. Before SC there were demands for Joe to drop out and obituaries written for his campaign. One man’s endorsement has been credited with reversing all that and he has since rolled to a string of victories. https://twitter.com/eugene_scott/status/1245399810787749890
If it’s been known that the Dem nomination can’t be won without black support and the contests have proven that once again, then it should be understood that Biden owes his success to black voters.

The question isn’t what do black voters owe him. It’s what does he owe us? https://twitter.com/novusdivus/status/1247226259651858434
Other voting blocs get to play politics but black voters are expected to toe the line on some altruistic “save America” bullshit.

Folks are getting mighty upset at black folks trying to leverage our power to get a seat at the table and demanding something for our vote.

Why?! https://twitter.com/blackwomenviews/status/1237815787857022977
The issue is aides, donors, Cable/Twitter pundits think Joe got black folk on lock and should chase WW and Trump voters.

It’s all a front. All its ever been was jockeying their favorite WW to make history before a qualified BW.

Hi “Kamala for AG” I see yo’ trifling ass.
Now, back to Harris.

Yes, there are those demanding that she be VP. Its not “stanning” to do so.

It’s already clear that black folks want representation. She’s simply the most qualified and best positioned black woman by many objective measures. https://twitter.com/david_darmofal/status/1246888739290431490
Clyburn, Lewis and Barbara Lee have made VERY PUBLIC statements about Joes VP. You think he’s not hearing it from other black folks privately too?

There is most certainly an expectation and it’s all justified. The real question is what happens when that expectation isn’t met? https://twitter.com/bleeforcongress/status/1237850794415677440
Black voters have been the backbone of the party for a LONG time. It’s clear that more and more black voters are getting tired of the party creeping with us on the weekends. It’s past time to put a ring on it.
