(ThyBlackMan.com) People can be pleasantly unpredictable at times, so our politics is equally unpredictable. As a U.S. Senator, Kamala Harris was seen as a rising star and viewed as the possible future of the Democratic Party. In January 2019, Harris launched her first presidential bid before a crowd of 20,000 supporters in Oakland, California. After 310 days of campaigning, she dropped out of the race while polling at 4 percent. Compare that to 2024, where President Biden makes an unpredictable move by dropping out of the race for reelection. He then endorses his vice president to be the party’s presidential nominee. Just 32 days after Biden stepped aside, Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic nomination in Chicago.
Once again, she is seen as the future of the Democratic Party. Donald Trump and the Republicans definitely did not expect a re-energized Democratic Party after the struggling performance by Joe Biden in the presidential debate. Neither did most Democrats. History was made with Harris becoming the first woman of Black and South Asian heritage to accept the party’s nomination. On the night of Harris’ acceptance speech, many women delegates wore white to honor the suffrage movement, the movement that culminated with American women securing the right to vote in 1920.
It’s time for America to prepare for a female president and Commander-in-Chief. We are not voting for Kamala Harris just because she is Black or a woman. We are voting for her because, unlike her 2019 campaign, she is now electable. We are voting for her because she is the best candidate to bring optimism, inclusion, bipartisanship, enthusiasm, hope, joy, inspiration, unity, patriotism, and energy to a nation that has grown weary of the dark MAGA movement. We are voting for Harris because she represents a fresh generational shift for a nation looking for “new blood” and fresh ideas.
The fact that Harris is Black and a woman is a bonus because her victory in November will also represent a resounding victory in the nation’s culture wars. “From the courthouse to the White House,” Harris said, fighting for the people “has been my life’s work.” We are voting for her because she is a conscience-driven public servant who fought hard for people in many ways. For those who may struggle with Harris being a trailblazing woman, I suggest they consider Francis Perkins.
There are many individuals throughout history who were considered great Americans. Some of these patriots and their legacies will never be forgotten. There are those, such as Harry Truman, who were not fully appreciated during their era, but over time, they were given due credit for their dedicated service. Francis Perkins is unique. Her name will never be well-known, but every American today lives her legacy. Perkins was a great American, not because she simply pushed through a political agenda. She is great due to the lives saved through regulations she developed regarding worker safety.
She allowed the elderly to live with some degree of dignity. She gave children their childhoods back by helping to abolish child exploitation and child labor. Not only was she a great American, but she was also a great woman. She was a voice for the working class. She became a quiet legend in history who overcame gender bias in a male-dominated society. By doing so, she broke the glass ceiling, making it easier for future women to have opportunities in the federal government.
The United States Department of Labor headquarters building in Washington D.C. rightfully bears her name—the Francis Perkins Building. While the average person may not know her by name, they definitely know her policies. Francis Perkins became the first woman to hold a cabinet position when she was appointed Secretary of Labor in the Franklin Roosevelt administration, a position she held for 12 years. She was the driving force behind the Social Security Act of 1935 and was responsible for drafting the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
Through her efforts, the U.S. established the minimum wage, overtime, pensions for the elderly, unemployment insurance, eliminating child labor, and regulating worker safety. She defined the 40-hour work week, which remains a part of today’s work standards. In other words, if you are a man or woman who at any time received workman’s compensation insurance or have weekends off from work, you should thank the woman trailblazer who devoted her career to improving working conditions for Americans.
In her words, she believed, “Poverty was preventable, destructive, wasteful and demoralizing. In the midst of potential plenty, it is morally unacceptable in a Christian and democratic society. Because the poor are people with hopes, fears, virtues and fellow citizens…” Francis Perkins and Kamala Harris are conscience-driven public servants with the future always in mind. Perkins and future Americans benefitted by having the White House, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives controlled by the Democratic Party. In November, give the Democrats the federal government trifecta, and let’s see what our future holds.

I WILL DEBATE YOU ANY TIME ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS: SHE IS A JOKE
Here are 16 points you should know but probably don’t.
(And no I am not a Trump supporter nor a Republican.)
(And yes I am happily married to a strong, intelligent, educated African American women who attended an HBCU and agrees with me. She has her own mind, I highly respect her and she is wide awake.)
1. Just because a person looks like us, that does not mean she is for us nor one of us. I found a ton of proof that Kamala over he last several years did not affiliate herself with black people. She connected with India. And notice she never connects with her Jamaican side which is what her dad is.
2. Kamala supports Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by eugenics depopulation racist Margaret Sanger. They are responsible for more abortion than any other organization in America. And if you did your research, you would know their founder cared nothing about black women’s rights nor black women’s health. Margaret Sanger believed that “inferior” races should not breed or re-populate. So many of you are so into Kamala that you have not done your homework. Why do you think Planned Parenthood centers were placed primarily in the BLACK areas? To reduce the population. Why do you think the founder of Planned Parenthood was responsible for so many black women having unnecessary hysterectomies? Check your research. Why do you think 38% of all abortions are by BLACK women? KAMALA IS THE POSTER GIRL FOR GENOCIDE AGAINST THE UNBORN BLACK COMMUNITY and they dressed it all up in a deception called “women’s reproductive rights”. Most of you don’t get it any more than you would have understood what was happening in the Tuskegee Experiment. Wake up!

3. Good parents teach their children to be responsible for their actions and choices. This “women’s reproductive rights” deception teaches women they can just kill their innocent unborn child because of inconvenience and just side-step personal responsibility. That is hypocritical at best.
4. Kamala is a feminist and feminist believe in more rights for women than anybody else, not just equal rights. No wonder Kamala cares nothing about the father’s rights and the unborn child’s rights. And NO it is not just the woman’s body. That is a deception too. Anybody who has ever seen a sonogram or ultrasound knows the child has his or her own body. But that person inside a woman does not matter to Kamala.
5. Kamala is a big hypocrite. Her mother did not abort Kamala nor her sister. She kept her children. If Kamala’s mother had thought like her, Kamala would not be able to run for president. Maybe Kamala’s mom should have used her “women’s reproductive rights” when she was pregnant with Kamala.
6. Before Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Kamala was not looked upon as qualified by the high level democrats in the party as being qualified. Now everybody wants to sweep that under the rug.
7. Kamala who is “black” when it is politically convenient nowadays, pushed her career by sleeping her way to the middle with sleezeballs like Willie Brown. Then when she got high enough up, she ran and married who? A WHITE MAN!
8. Kamala is bought and paid for and her looking like you, your friends, your sister or somebody you once dated is enough for those pulling the strings to use her to deceive you and promote their agenda. Why do you think 6 weeks after Joe Biden dropped out Kamala has not done 1 press conference nor one in-depth sit down interview? The interview she did a while ago with CNN was one where she was defensive, sounded stupid and screwed it up when asked about the border.
9. Kamala may be smarter than most of you, so you look up to her. But she is not as bright as you think. I can show you video after video of her that proves that.
10. Check Kamala’s track record in California. First they do not look at her so favorably. Second all she brags about is protecting people from scam schools and saving people money for housing. Is that all she did in her career as attorney general? Most of you have not even checked her record so you are voting blind. I checked her track record just like I checked Obama’s (who I voted for twice). Black people generally do not do any research once you like a candidate.
11. When she was a District Attorney, Kamala locked up more black men than the slave trade. Obviously I am overstating that to make a point. But she locked up alot and no many of them were not deserving of it. She locked up 1,500 people for weed then laughed when she was asked if she shad smoked weed.
12. Kamala says she is for you, but 38% of the 60 million innocent unborn children since Roe v Wade were innocent BLACK unborn children. And only 1% of the abortions are because of rape, incest or the life/health of the mother.
13. Kamala makes promises but never tells you how she is going to make them happen. That is for the same reason she had not done press conferences nor interviews. The same reason her handlers, overseers, Massa will not let Kamala do her first interview by herself. And even then it is recorded so it can be edited, not live. The reason for all this is that those with the real agenda have to write down her positions and what they want her to say.Some of you would sell your soul to the devil if Kamala picked it up herself and promised you higher wages or healthcare.
14. If Kamala will stand with the law of the land, Roe v Wade is not the law of the land. It was overturned, yet she stands as VP against the law of the land in place now.
15. If Kamala Harris will fight for you, why is she ignoring the Declaration of Independence which says all of us are created equal and instead she is pushing women’s rights above everybody else’s? Because she is engaging in genocidal population control just as she has been told to do. Also he Declaration of Independence says we have unalienable rights which includes THE RIGHTS TO LIFE. Read it. And the Bible even says CHOOSE LIFE, but Kamala says something different. So who you think I am going to believe?
16. The “church” is a bunch of cowards not to even call Kamala Harris out on any of this. ESPECIALLY COON RAPHAEL WARNOCK. The “black church” would not know satan if he walked up and slapped most of the members. Or they would look the other way if his offering was big enough.
You who would place Kamala over what the Word of God says are you who deserve what you get. I am not voting in this election and no that does not mean I helped the other candidate. That is some BS one side says when they want your vote. If I don’t vote, I did not support either candidate. Neither candidate is fit for office. Some of you have sold your soul to the Democratic party via Kamala. But I will keep my soul right where it is thank you. And criminal rapist conman serial liar narcissist Trump cannot have it either. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
