Ibram X. Kendi Instagram – I’m glad @kamalaharris picked Minnesota Governor @timwalz to be her running mate and Vice President. I really do hope Gov. Walz is preparing to spend most of his time not before television cameras and large arenas, but in small rooms packed with rural White voters or suburban White voters. I hope he’s planning to show them that the billionaire con artist who projects himself as their defender and protector from “dangerous” immigrants—which is code for Black and Brown people—is distracting from the fact that Trump’s policies, his Project 2025, and his willingness to sell America to the highest bidder are the real threat to White rural and suburban lives and livelihoods (and the rest of our lives and livelihoods).
I hope Walz offers a clear contrast between what Trump has taken off their kitchen tables (to put into the hands of racist con artists like himself) and what Kamala Harris plans to put on our kitchen tables as POTUS.
Those pointed conversations with no camera in sight in small rooms with people who look like us (and don’t look like us) in rural, suburban, and urban America is where this election will be won or lost. We should all be planning to have those conversations. | Posted on 06/Aug/2024 21:25:54
