    Let's not pretend David Perdue wasn't being racist about Kamala Harris

    The race-card playing is getting silly even absurd. This from CNN: Let's not pretend David Perdue wasn't being racist about Kamala Harris

    ...The GOP Senator called the vice presidential candidate, and his Senate Budget Committee colleague whom he has served alongside for years, "Ka-MAL-a, Ka-MAL-a or Kamala, Kamala, Ka-mala, -mala, -mala, I don't know, whatever," drawing laughter from the crowd. (Harris herself has written that it's pronounced "'comma-la,' like the punctuation mark.")

    Does anybody aside from Trump's toxic base find this racist behavior funny? The answer is no.

    Sabrina Singh, Harris' press secretary, was quick to call out Perdue's behavior. "Well that is incredibly racist," she said on Twitter, urging voters to cast their ballots for his Democratic rival Jon Ossoff....

    If you don't like it when people make fun of funny names they don't nominate people with funny names.


    What does Harris have going for her other than playing the Race and Gender Card as she did against Joe Biden in the Primary Debates as you may recall?

    As for this author referring to Millions of Americans as "Toxic" is that professional journalistic behavior or just personal Hatred of people not in their political camp?

    Seriously, I wouldn't have even known Harris was black if they weren't trumpeting it all the time. She has a bit of an ethnic look, but who the hell cares about the color of somebody's skin?

    Content of character.

    Unfortunately, this character has no content.

    She slept her way to the top, open and shut case there.

    Yet some people nominated her for a chance at the 2nd highest post in the USA.

    Some people are truly sick deviates.

    It's 2020 the most absurd year of our lifetime so this at least fits.

    That just made me giggle. And, it made me realize that we really don't have a national problem with racism anymore -- it's over. When people have to compare mispronouncing a name to racism, we've come far enough that it's no longer a problem.

    The more jokes people come up with and shared about race baiting the less effective they are in making us speak their new language as a method to control us. The bully involved in abusive relationships use that method against their partner with always telling that person the words they want them to use when speaking to them.
