These are sensitive issues, especially in the black community.
AFLCIO executive unanimously endorsed Ms. Harris for president literally overnight and they are going to throw their support for someone who (as the wingnuts claim) has worked to promote cheap prison labor in CA?

A little history. Back when affirmative action was introduced the intent was to give qualified minorities a shot they previously were excluded from. Very soon after that the racist factions that didn't like that idea began pushing the narrative that left out the qualified part of that. They pushed the notion that unqualified people were being hired ahead of qualified White men simply because of their color. Reverse racism they like to call it.
Fast forward to today. The term DEI has replaced affirmative action. Minorities being put into positions they don't deserve and aren't qualified for. Now you understand why Republicans are using it.

The target is not the Unions. The target is black support. It is now devolving...Kamala locked up a lot of weed smokers and then laughed.

You are just repeating attack propaganda trope. 'Our enemy laughs at us' is an emotional trigger, not a reporting of anything real. The vast majority of low level offenders (users) got into the diversion programs.

Black support devolving for Harris "because she locked up a lot of weed smokers"? Your source(s) for this? How is that targeting "Black support"? What about Black folks that don't smoke weed? Don't White folks smoke weed too? Or did Harris not lock any of them up?

Scratch a Trump supporter and find a bigot it seems.

DEI and Black support oh yea drugs whatever else stereotype to make this hatred go down that much easier. White privilege is taken for granted by many and it is expected. When confronted with equity, equality for another to then think it is discrimination.

Not only is this for race but they also act the same way to other religions.

The same blathering nonsense as when DJT said Blacks would identify with him because he got indicted.

I've seen accusations of Kamala being immoral because of the claim that "she slept her way to the top". To which I reply If you want to talk about being immoral let's talk about the person who cheated on his first wife with his second wife then cheated on this second wife with his third wife then cheated on his third wife with a porn actress. I knew the Reich-wingers would go low and they have not disappointed.
