Bad pick all around. Including Biden himself, the whole thing is so bad that it has to be a brilliant tactic to achieve something else.
Kamala Harris is not black or African American. Her Dad sort of is but of all black families they choose a person who is decended from black people who were slave traders.its like a Joke as though that is the best they have.
The whole thing about choosing a "black person" and that ending up to be her is the equivalent of politicaly putting on black face.
Why couldn't they at least picked an actual black person that African Americans can relate to? not a mixed race lady whose family lives off of trust funds and wealth that was built off of the slave trade.
It's a backhanded slap in the face and kick in the nuts to Americas black community.
