For all the people who think Kamala Harris isn't hiding her husband I want to share why that isn't so farfetched. Back in 2010, black real estate developer, Don Peebles was mulling a run for mayor of DC. Don was pissed because Mayor Adrian Fenty "allegedly" broke a promise.
Peebles net worth has to be close to 1 billion if not more. Men like him, regardless of race don't take rejection very well. Peebles ran a private poll and decided not to run. The poll disclosed black women would not vote for him. Why? He has a white wife.
Think of the black community and how damn near every issue PROMOTED to us involves RACE and racial injustice. We are TRAINED to align with race to our detriment. If you think Obama would've been elected president without Michelle you don't really understand the black psyche.
Black politicians, intellectuals, celebrities, etc., understand the CHEAPEST, EASIEST way to get our support is to be "RACE CHAMPIONS." Trained like "Pavlov's Dog" race is the one thing that makes us a singular voting bloc and monolith. "That could've been me."
The reason why the aforementioned black "luminaries" play that role is because the white liberal establishment rewards them with sponsorship deals, book deals, TV shows, token ownership in sports franchises, etc. The more effective they are the more they earn. RACE. RACE. RACE.
I've said it before. The more any HIGH PROFILE black figure fixates on race the less I trust them. Not because racism isn't real. It's very real. It's just that race is very often their hustle. It's how they secure work in media and so forth in a VERY RACIST system.
Moreover, people like Kamala Harris know the system they are proponents of all too well. You can't paint a picture of white people being evil and unaccepting of blacks when you go home to a white spouse who accepted YOU. Doesn't support the lynching bills you're pushing.
Then there's those in interracial relationships like Van Jones, Jalen Rose, Shannon Sharpe, Don Lemon. They too understand the black psyche and feel compelled to prove they haven't rejected their blackness. OR maybe racial dog whistling is their PRIMARY value in a RACIST system.
