Not gonna say Kamala Harris is perfect--but I need a very specific part of the "left" to shut up about things they don't understand

Y'all DO NOT UNDERSTAND how much Black folks were pushed to be cops or government workers post Black Panthers, so white folks wouldn't murder us.
My (Black) mother and aunt were government workers
My (Black) uncle is an air force lawyer
My (Black) cousin was a gangbanger who became a lawyer
I went to a "Black Lawyer Camp" as a kid in NE in the 90s

They also literally placed Baldwin and King and Lorde and Davis in my hands
The Black Usonian relationship to the law is complicated, and we have tried literally everything to make it work for us and not against us.

I acknowledge that Harris has many problems, but a lot of y'all need to learn some context before opening your mouths.
Harris was 21 when this happened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE#1985_bombing

Can you imagine being a 21 year old Black person in the United States and seeing FIVE HUNDRED police surround and bomb Black people?

Gee, wonder why so many Black kids were pushed to be lawyers
Some of y'all really need to stay in your lanes because you can't understand the context of the fights you're diving in to.

There are plenty of valid concerns about Biden and Harris. I will be spending a lot of time complaining about them too

But some of y'all are so ignorant
