Talk about thinking you are superior.
Kamala Harris acts like she is the Great Omniscient Dudess

Bob --
As we continue to process and grieve from the white supremacist terror attack and rally in Charlottesville, I shared this note with my supporters on social media and I wanted to give you a chance to read it as well.
My message is that there are not "many sides" to this issue. There is only one. Heather Heyer was tragically killed in service of the idea that our unity is our strength and our diversity is our power. It’s up to us to honor her memory with action and hope.
Read my message below for my full thoughts on this weekend and forward this email to your friends and family.
Thanks for all you do,
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
As we all now know, this weekend in Charlottesville, hundreds of white supremacists gathered with torches, shouting racial, ethnic and religious epithets about Black and Jewish people, chanting Nazi slurs, waving the Confederate flag and banners emblazoned with giant swastikas. A peaceful protester was murdered. Two brave police officers lost their lives.
To some Americans, this was shocking and scary. They asked themselves how could this happen - in the United States of America - in 2017?
To other Americans, what they know is, Charlottesville exemplifies an undeniable reality that lurks just beneath the surface in this nation we love.
And as the country grappled with this tragedy, we were told that “many sides” should be condemned.
Many sides.
I often advocate that we look at many sides of an issue, walk in someone else’s shoes, and identify and reject false choices.
But there are not “many sides” to this.
“Many sides” is what kept children in this country at separate schools and adults at separate lunch counters for decades.
“Many sides” is what turned a blind eye when Emmett Till was lynched and stood silent when marchers were beat in Selma for “disturbing the peace.”
“Many sides” is what my parents and thousands of others fought against during the Civil Rights Movement.
“Many sides” suggests that there is no right side or wrong side, that all are morally equal. But I reject that. It’s not hard to spot the wrong side here. They’re the ones with the torches and the swastikas.
Let’s recall what led to the march in Charlottesville in the first place: the removal of Confederate statues, which celebrated men who fought for an America that kept human beings enslaved. That’s an America in which I’d never be allowed to vote, much less be elected a U.S. Senator.
The white supremacists who gathered in Charlottesville were there to protest so-called “attacks” on their self perceived racial superiority. That’s it – that’s their grievance.
Imagine how they’d feel if they were told they could not come into America because of their religion. Or that they could not serve in our military because of their gender identity. Or that their polling place was shut down as a part of a systematic effort to stop them from voting. Or could be separated without warning from their family or the country they call home. Or that they could lose their job because of who they love.
These are things happening right now in our country, too. And if we care about what happened yesterday in Charlottesville, we’ve got to care about everyday discrimination as well.
If we say this is not who we are, it’s on us to show that.
I feel a special responsibility, and I hope and expect my colleagues in the U.S. Senate do, too. It’s easy to tweet that hate has no place in America. But no legislator should be allowed to be horrified on a Saturday and then vote to drag America backward on a Monday.
There is hope to be found. The truth is that the vast majority of Americans are good, fair and just and they want their country to reflect those ideals. And the fact that yesterday’s explicit hate was met with near-universal condemnation affirms my belief in our capacity to overcome evil.
We don’t have to let extremists define us. Opportunities to do right are right in front of us. We just have to seize them.

Been listening to these libs on tv today, they sure are a judgmental and prideful bunch, they truly are riding a righteous high horse and want to lecture us evil white men on how we should be shamed and ahamed. I hope they keep up their ignorance

These people value "diversity" over human life itself. They would let this nation fall into fricking flames all in the name of "diversity".
Look fricking idiots, no one is fricking saying people of non-white races shouldn't get a fair chance, but we're sure as shite not going to set the entire system on fire just to achieve the goal of their arbitrary standards for "diversity".
Why can't these people let society do its thing? We've made SO MUCH progress in the United States, and now they want to literally rape us with this shite because it isn't happening fast enough for them. frick them.

I am ready to see how her white husband will go over with all the race baiting SJW's.............

It's her or Maxine. GOP in trouble.

Liberals are doing a great job of empowering these white power groups by demonizing white people.
These groups are only able to exist by convincing their members that they are marginalized and in danger.
The white guilt mantra is only furthering their cause.

Wow thats pretty dishonest by Kamala Harris.
If you can't see both sides are the problem then you are part of the problem too.

Didn't read all that shite. She's right though. In regard to this event, there aren't many sides. There's two. Two disgusting extremist sides parading behind misguided philosophies that need to be condemned.
The white supremacists are a vile underbelly of society. Antifa is a violent extremist collective that pours fuel on the fire at these things. Antifa shouldn't get a free pass based on the cause of the group they're perpetrating violence against. That doesn't make them noble protectors of all that is good. A civilized society doesn't need vigilante justice.

I have to think she is taking the all in approach to identity politics instead of learning from past mistakes. I'm all for this. Go kamala go.

I can't decide if she's stupid, or just a panderer.

Apparently, KH thinks one white man is superior to all of the black men.
