One of the main problems with focusing on racism as the primary malady in our contemporary world, is that non-whites in positions of influence are often protected from criticism, even if they engage in agregious or criminal acts. Even white reporters have to tread carefully.
It happened with President Obama and it’s already happening with Kamala Harris, whereby negative assessments or the exposure of defects by white opponents or journalists are ignored because they’re deemed racist. With Harris, the critiques are labelled racist AND misogynistic.
This prohibition on providing thorough and objective analyses of a candidate during election time guarantees that a contest already impaired by a deeply biased media will be rendered even more unfair by a media that’s terrified of being branded as racist or anti-woman.
Trump will win in Nov (unless Dems engage in massively successful voter fraud), but afterward Harris, whose real flaws many will never know, will be painted as a heroic victim who never stood a chance against a tyrannical racist and the system that propped him up. I can’t wait.
