Very easily dismissed example from conservatives. Got any other black nominees that you feel aren't qualified?
Being a senator isn't a qualification for the top executive office. A governor on the other hand is ideally suited for the position. They have experience, just on a smaller scale. Running a state is a lot like running the country. Passing laws for the nation is not an attribute suited to run a nation.

Personally, I don't care if she used to be a triple XXX porn queen. Doesn't matter to me. And I certainly don't give a **** what color her skin is.
Perhaps reading comprehension is too complex for you to fathom, I said "I don't care if you like Vice President elect Harris" before expanding on the unwarranted sexual comments that get posted about her. Dislike her all you want but to call her a s**t as some have or other similar comments when we have the Misogynist in Chief still in the White House is just plain sexist.

I think Mr. MaGoo should select an all Native Ameican cabinet.

Those people were massacred in cold blood...guns versus bow & arrow.

This land was theirs, & they were here long before the African slaves were.

As long as they are American citizens, DOCUMENTED, there should be no restrictions based on race.

Read these boards the derogatory comments are frequently racists, sexist and in general pretty down right nasty to woman and those of color. I don't care if you like Vice President elect Harris but the sexual allegations being posted against her when we have a President who has over 25 allegations and charges of sexual impropriety against him, but she's a s**t and he's just being a guy...
The glaring difference is that the President didn't move up the career ladder by sleeping with powerful people. The VP elect did.

Nice allegations, shall we pull out the sexual history of all elected officials? So according to you a woman having affair(s) is only to enhance their career because we all know they couldn't succeed otherwise, but a guy is just being a guy and that's what guys do....

And Trump gets a pass because all the 25+ allegations & charges against him had nothing to do with him
getting elected but I'll bet it had a lot to do with any female who wanted to have a career at Trump Inc.

Lift you knuckles when you walk were in the 21st century.....

Yes for the racist democrats, and no for the republicans.

For the leftists who are using as a defense the question “so you’re saying the black nominee isn’t qualified?” are skirting the issue completely.

It’s not an a matter of whether they’re qualified. Let’s assume they are. The point is that it is RACIST to declare, upfront, that the position will be filled by a black person, and whites will be excluded from consideration.

Let’s say, for example, that Biden announced that his pick for National Security advisor, whom he has not yet decided upon, will be someone from the Jewish faith. The pick could very well be qualified, but that still doesn’t mean that Biden was not discriminating against Christians, atheists, or whatever else - and it’s wrong to do.

Leftists are so enveloped in this identity politics crap that they can’t even comprehend this.

While I don't think it should be a factor I think some diversity doesn't hurt.
