Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out election | CNN Politics

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who he believes have not adequately supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman.

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don’t like Harris is because she’s a woman -

“Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

    The moment I hear anyone talk about genocide when referring to the US elections, I write them off as a useful idiot or Russian troll.

    Glad to know that Ukrainians getting murdered by Republican polices isn’t enough for you. China killing Uyghurs? Not important for this dude. Moral consistency is for suckers!

    That’s how you sound right now. Murder is bad, and I am opposed to it whenever its happening. Be it neighbors, countries, systemic, or individual. Sorry that being aginast to my tax dollars going to helping people be free from harm and helping people live better lives is somehow too much of a “single issue”.
