An uncomfortable truth about "Angry Black Women" in politics [View all] StarfishSaver Dec 2019 OP

Didn't she go after Biden at the first debate? Lucky Luciano Dec 2019 #1

She didn't "go after" Biden any more aggressively than Any "went after" Pete StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #4

She did. She suggested that Joe Biden was a racist in the debate... The Valley Below Dec 2019 #13

She suggested no such thing StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #16

I beg to differ. I saw the debate with my own eyes. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #18

Sure StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #21

You are making an accusation that is untrue, quite ugly, and offensive. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #23

Faulty memory? She called out Biden for reminiscing fondly of working... brush Dec 2019 #22

Nah. Joe Biden has overwhelming support in th black community because they The Valley Below Dec 2019 #24

You missed the point completely again. brush Dec 2019 #25

You're consistent in missing points. You can't deny he stopped repeating the story... brush Dec 2019 #27

"Missing the point" seems to be the point StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #30

Yep, purposely. brush Dec 2019 #32

The so-called "point" isn't valid. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #33

Only to certain people, particularly those to whom it applies StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #35

This is slander. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #47

You are ignoring the fact that Biden was referencing how the segregationist Senator referred to emmaverybo Dec 2019 #44

Maybe you should follow Joe Biden's lead and let it go already... PunkinPi Dec 2019 #36

Take note: I didn't start this thread. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #39

No you didn't, you commented in it and so did I. PunkinPi Dec 2019 #40

Right. So why the commentary? The Valley Below Dec 2019 #41

No one claimed otherwise. PunkinPi Dec 2019 #45

You are ascribing false attributions to me. The Valley Below Dec 2019 #46

So very true SS... the double standards are as obvious as they are absurd in the extreme!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #64

I saw Kamala Harris go after Joe Biden in that first debate. Sloumeau Dec 2019 #2

What I heard - here and elsewhere mcar Dec 2019 #7

And she was "angry" and "yelling" and "too aggressive," etc. StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #9

Yep mcar Dec 2019 #12

True StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #15

Here we go again StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #57

She ran a bad campaign...and had she done better with AA voters in Carolina, she would still be in Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #81

And we're off mcar Dec 2019 #82

Yes I heard the same thing Andy823 Dec 2019 #74

That's right mcar Dec 2019 #83

Right-wingers constantly accuse Dems of being angry and full of hate... SMC22307 Dec 2019 #3

And many left-wingers accuse black women of being angry StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #5

Such as? SMC22307 Dec 2019 #10

Go back and read the comments here and elsewhere following the first debate StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #14

Anonymous posters on a message board? LOL SMC22307 Dec 2019 #17

I think that there's justifiable anger. If anybody's entitled to be angry it's black people and abqtommy Dec 2019 #6

True. But we're accused of being angry regardless how calm and quiet we are StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #8

I just said that there's justification! We all have to own our anger, no matter what the projections abqtommy Dec 2019 #11

K&R for the truth. WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2019 #20

Absolutely true. OldRed2450 Dec 2019 #28

Black people usually have to preface any discussion of race with a white person with StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #31

It's all very tiring and all too true, StarfishSaver. spicysista Dec 2019 #34

Harris attacked Biden - no one said she was angry. For a full month afterwards she was Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #37

You surely know better than that StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #38

They, nor I, called her angry - because we knew that it was a pre-orchestrated performance. Some Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #48

WOW... tonedevil Dec 2019 #49

Kamala's attack on Biden was months in the making (Politico) Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #50

"Months in the making" StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #52

Heavens to Murgatroyd... tonedevil Dec 2019 #54

I've wasted enough time talking about a past, non-successful candidate. I'm back to focusing on the Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #59

At least you were able to relive... tonedevil Dec 2019 #60

She failed to impress this black woman, and the majority of us. It's on her. Biden is succeeding Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #61

OK /nt tonedevil Dec 2019 #62

You noticed that, too StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #67

Nothing to see here StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #43

We all should be.... pbmus Dec 2019 #51

I recall she did go after Biden in the first debate. Joe941 Dec 2019 #55

And people are still going batshish about it nearly 6 months later StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #58

Really? Cuz she went after Biden pretty hard and her polling doubled DrToast Dec 2019 #63

And she was trashed for it. And, as you can see just in this thread, she's STILL StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #65

No, she wasn't. It was a boost for her campaign. DrToast Dec 2019 #66

She wasn't trashed for it? StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #68

Let's see... DrToast Dec 2019 #69

I didn't realize the campaign ended the day after the debate StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #70

It's not that you imagined the criticism DrToast Dec 2019 #72

She became a sensation overnight. MSNBC celebrated her by playing the confrontational scene emmaverybo Dec 2019 #71

Exactly. DrToast Dec 2019 #73

You recounted the actual events accurately, revision-free. Thanks for this! Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #77
