Why Is It Offensive To Call Kamala A DEI Hire?
“Joe Biden Says He Is Considering Four Black Women To Be His Running Mate,” a 2020 CNN headline
explained — not four of the “most qualified” people. “Joe Biden Pressed Again To Name A Black Woman As His Running Mate,”
read a headline in The Washington Post. “Pressure Grows On Joe Biden To Pick A Black Woman As His Running Mate,”
said an NPR headline, right under the words “America Reckons With Racial Injustice” — written a little more than three years after Barack Obama finished his eight-year tenure as the most powerful man in the world.
It was clear that Kamala Harris wasn’t the meritocratic choice, not even among the other 2020 Democrat Party presidential contenders. Her campaign didn’t even make it to Iowa. Her senate career was undistinguished. Her polling was atrocious. She was unable to run a campaign or
keep her staff.
