Black Lives Matter Lashes Out at Democrats for Likely Kamala Harris Nomination Without Primary
“A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of. We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs.”
The Black Lives Matter national group lashed out at the Democratic Party for installing Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 presidential candidate without a formal primary process.
However, the group said it “will celebrate, and honor the joy many in our community are feeling about Kamala’s historic candidacy and path to the nomination.”
But Black Lives Matter will also “call out the undemocratic process and engaging in a vigorous discussion on the issues our community cares about.”
The timeline of events is enough to make people think something is up, especially from a party that loves “democracy” so much:

Black Lives Matter, of course, insists the Democrat Party’s actions this year silences black and minority voters.
The group is not wrong. But the party’s actions this year silenced everyone.
The full statement is even more damning:
While Joe Biden wasn’t our preferred candidate, we cannot ignore the troubling actions of the Democratic Party:
- The DNC refused to host debates during the primary, even though a vast majority of Democratic voters wanted them. This would have likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden in 2023.
- The DNC changed the primary schedule and created rules that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot, effectively clearing the field of any challengers to the incumbent president.
- Following the primary where millions of Black voters weighed in, after one poor debate performance, the DNC Party elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race.
Now, Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors are attempting to manipulate Black voters by anointing Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public. This blatant disregard for democratic principles is unacceptable. While the potential outcome of a Harris presidency may be historic, the process to achieve it must align with true democratic values. We have no idea where Kamala Harris stands on the issues, now that she has assumed Joe Biden’s place, and we have no idea of the record of her potential vice president because we don’t even know who it is yet.

“We demand someone blacker! Blacker! And even MORE female!”
Hey, she’s definitely more female than Michelle Obama.
Harris should respond- all lives matter.
(Ducks for cover)
Yes. If she were smart and she has not demonstrated that, she would take the Tiger Woods route and refuse to play the game. She would bring in far more votes than playing the race card.
Funny how in 2016 they made a huge deal about her being the ‘first Indian-American Senator’.
Now she’s magically black, no trace of Indian to be found.
oh believe me
they will curry favor to her in no time
LOL
harris is a communist
just b/c there might an issue or two where she seems “moderate” compared to who obama? george bush?
doesnt mean jacksh
they are for government over the people
They are picking Harris because – They Know She Will Lose!
The polling says none of the Democrat hopefuls can win. But win Harris goes down in flames, we will get 4 years of “America is Racist and Sexist.” That is the Plan.
Hmmmmm.
Good. Maybe it will catch on!
Maybe. Pick Harris now and run her so that when she loses the Dems can be rid of her once and for all without that messy race thing going on.
Kamala supports open borders, free health care for illegal aliens, universal basic income.
Pssst… BLM… the DNC is a private organization (just like you) so they can set their own rules to select candidates the way you set you own rules to select corporate officers.
As far as where she stands issues, what does it that have to do with anything? Both Biden and Harris were installed with unverified mail-in ballots — many with no signatures — as well as ballots from dead or unregistered or moved away voters. So the issues are irrelevant, the only thing you need to know is that the border will continue to stay open until enough cross over to replace you. Then you’ll see what “Democracy” really means.
Productive black lives matter, in the same way that productive people of all races matter.
I very much doubt that any BLM member’s life matters.
Cities are loaded with losers, To fix that we need to tie receiving good food to their productivity.
To start that give them food to can and freeze, with the understanding that they must prepare enough food to get through the winter. Those who do not make the grade should receive plain soy curd, and a multivitamin. came spring repurpose all that vacant land in cities, requiring them produce their own fresh produce and spices, both of which will make soy much more palatable. In other words, tough love, yes sir, no excuse sir.
Anyone want to guess how much they would “celebrate and honor the joy” if the inserted nominee were of White or Hispanic ancestry?
Subotai Bahadur
How prophetic that they chose Chicago for Cackle’s coronation…..
The Hump in ’68 and The Hummer in ’24 (they’ll always have Chicago!)
Cry me a river BLM! This is as black as you gonna get!
I thought harris was black…I guess she doesn’t matter?
Not black enough. They want someone with black preacher cadence accent and screams and shouts about whitey.
If they have brains, and actually they do, they want someone who can win too. Screaming about whitey has gotten old and they do better with other strategies. I don’t know of any leftist blacks that would have a serious shot in this election. Maybe they just want some bargaining power.
We were told by Biden that you ain’t black if you don’t vote for him. She sure isn’t now.
The family slavery history — as slave owners, not slaves — might factor in here. Of all the people running, black descendants of slaves might have a legit gripe about one of the candidates, Kamala.
‘Slave owner”, as told by her own father.
That is simply not true. Her father’s family history is exactly the same as that of most black Americans — descended from slaves, and therefore also from their owners (and/or the owners’ relatives, employees, guests, etc.) because that’s how slavery worked.
Nope. No evidence of that. Are you implying this because of her skin color? A little racist there.
Her father’s skin color proves that he is mostly descended from slaves. And his known ancestry proves it; his great-grandmother, Jessian Prince, was a “laborer”, which means she was a former slave, or the child of one.
Yep, a bit of racism tainting your comments on that one, Milhouse.
How is it racist to point out the obvious truth that Donald Harris was a black man, and thus primarily the descendant of slaves. His alleged slave-owner ancestor, Hamilton Brown, was the ancestor of his grandmother “Miss Crishy”, who was black, the daughter of a former slave.
Kamala’s family were slave holders in Jamaica, they whipped blacks like donkys.
Only in the same sense in which this is true of almost all black Americans
Do you not get this?
Yes, the history shows that a lot of blacks have white ancestry from slaveowners. Sometimes from people who repeatedly raped their slaves.
So why do they get to embrace one side of their ancestry while abjuring the rapists on the other side?
Theoretically, Harris is descended from the worst type of people on one side, slaveholding rapists, and from color based caste system people on the other.
And their victims.
Do you not get this? The entire point of claiming she’s descended from slave owners is to pretend she is different from black Americans who are descended from slaves. But almost all of them are also descended from those slaves’ owners, exactly as Harris is.
She is not of American black lineage. Her dad is from Jamaica and her mom is from India.. and Kamala is here by way of Canada. Her ancestors OWNED slaves, were not slaves themselves.
The democrat party really prefers non-American blacks, like Harris and Soetero. Disgraceful.
Jamaica was one of the colonies that made up British North America, exactly like the 13 that broke away. The experience of slavery was similar enough throughout.
And it is not true that “Her ancestors OWNED slaves, were not slaves themselves”. Have you seen a picture of her father?! His ancestors were slaves — and because slavery worked that way, some of his ancestors were those slaves’ owners, exactly like most black Americans.
From this study: “Through comparison of estimates of X chromosome and genome-wide African and European ancestry proportions, we estimate that approximately 5% of ancestors of African Americans were European females and 19% were European males”.
I have, Milhouse.
He was *Irish*. He owned slaves.

Millhouse might have problem with his brain that goes beyond just being annoying.
Yes, Hamilton Brown owned slaves. And Harris is descended from one of those slaves. And, allegedly, from him. That’s how slavery worked. Most black Americans have the same story in their family trees.
I needed to be told that Kamala was black.
She’s alleged to be black. What’s their complaint?
This was a lame, wimpy response. I am old enough to remember when BLM/Antifa burned major cities and looted, raped and murdered to their hearts’ content because a career criminal named St George of Floyd overdosed on drugs he swallowed.
“Old enough to remember”? That was practically last week.
I remember when my first grade teacher came into the classroom in tears and told the class that JFK had been shot, and we soon went to the A/V (audio/video) room to watch the news coverage during that school day.
I am so pissed about the JFK coverup, I was 13.
His point being that BLM spokes
menwomen are apparently not old enough to remember that.“Delegates are not oligarchs.” Actually, yes they are, that’s the process. They’re oligarchs for this decision, and this moment, under these rules.
BLM wants a do-over so they can riot and exert pressure and try to extort more stuff. I hope they fail utterly. Not that I want Kamala to be the nominee, but their discomfort with it makes me mind it a bit less actually.
Hmmmm. Interesting thought: Harris being the nominee means no BLM riots? That would save lives.
I suspect mostly the wrong lives, why are we still putting up so much low life?
I wonder who it is who actually speaks and determines policy for the Buy Large Mansions organization. I just remember how they scammed millions of virtue-signaling dollars from corporations, and when the govt went to audit the organization, most of the millions had just disappeared.
And, like the White House Big Bag O’ Coke, the trail… just vanished.
SO sorry, nothing to be done bout it, these things happen.
BLM getting uppity and wandering off the plantation!

But, isn’t that RACIST?!
Open Borders Kamala forced black americans to the back of the waiting line behind illegal aliens.
Her family was slave owners in Jamaica.
