        They want to root for a black woman who can't possibly actually succeed, if she actually succeeds it changes the whole dynamic. (And a lot of them dont believe that a black woman can actually succeed anyway, which is why we have to stick with Biden).

    Oh no, it references something that Harris said that actually connected with people in general instead of pandering specifically to their toxic insular clique

    This is because the "KHive" is some DNC-funded astroturfing campaign that disappears after elections and only reappears when they get a check during a campaign

      It wouldn't surprise me if these sort of folks on social media would start saying she's too Asian to be the first black woman president. I would not put it past them to be that cynical.

        In '08 there was a lot of "concern" in the media that Obama was "not black enough." Whether that originated from Hillary's campaign or elsewhere, I don't know.

          The folks who talk about ADOS in like, college-educated black circles could raise that with future black candidates that come from immigrant parents. Anecdotally, I've heard complaints that the affirmative action spots at Ivys are going more to the upper middle class children of African immigrants than to, say poorer or middle class ADOS kids. I can see this as a form of inner-elite competition amongst the black leadership class of America for limited resources. Could be one way to foster nativism among middle class African American voters by the right, if they were shrewd enough to do that.

        From what I've seen its not that they're turning her down as not black enough, its that its racist to have such high expectations of a black woman.

          I can see where they could be coming from with that via the criticism of the trope of having an Atlas-like black female leader who has to carry the weight of the world left to her by incompetent white men. The idea being that white leaders should own up to and fix some of their own problems instead of giving them all to a member of an oppressed class to remedy.

            I mean, I guess, but it's honestly more problematic to assume that white men have to fix all the problems they caused before allowing a black woman to be in power.

    Didn't she say this like like a dozen different times? Like isn't it basically her catch phrase? If she never said this and people were using it because she's sorta Caribbean, yeah I could see it, but c'mon.

    It's actually anti-racist to prefer a dying white man not cede power to a black woman.

    A woman is subsumed by her environment and you think that is me? Joe, I am the context. I am the one who falls out of a coconut tree.
