I really like Gov. Whitmer, but ... We're looking at white privilege in real time

166. I am mot over reqcting

In your very first sentence you tie it to the VP pick. You said you are concerned that people are advocating that several qualified black women are being passed over for a white woman.

You are being intentionally disingenuous here and not being truthful with what you are saying you have said. You are moving the goal posts. Further black females have been elected to statewide positions before and while I don’t know if that is true for governor the truth is that nit enough have been elected to represent in our government. But still, making the accusation that people who are enthusiastic of Whitmer because of white privilege and that they are passing over black women is pretty darn insulting to them and to the accomplishments of Whitmer herself as she is a very qualified individual who possesses some strong political reasons for the consideration.

Personally my favorite candidate is Harris who unfortunately doesn’t provide the benefit if potentially delivering a state that we lost last election in MI. One that had previously been a reliably blue state.

Sorry Starfish but this OP of yours was off the mark fir me and it just seems that you are throwing mud at Joe and the democratic party and members here at DU that really doesn't need to be thrown. There is enough white privilege
to be dealt with. I do agree that getting more women POC elected to all levels of our government would serve us better. I just don’t agree that the people you broad stroked in your post deserved it.
