‘ Race does problem. Gender does issue. … we have no gotten past it.’
In a recent interview, Macalester College Professor Duchess Harris stated that discussing Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ race and gender is crucial in the run-up to the upcoming presidential election because some voters care about a candidate’s identity.
Colorblind does not function when you go to cast your vote. It just does no. So it works in both information. There were American Americans who had never cast ballots and who did so because Barack Obama was running for president. So in that manner, it mattered”, the St. Paul, Minnesota teacher told KARE 11.
According to the National studies professor, Harris is the first woman, first dark person, and first South Asian person to hold office. She also could become the first person to be elected president of the United States. After President Joe Biden announced earlier this month that he would not seek re-election, she is presumably the Democrat presidential nomination.
The doctor told the news outlet that Harris’s gender is important because Roe v. Wade, the country’s Supreme Court, overturned its abortion choice in 2022. Then, under the new ruling, Dobbs v. Jackson, says may ban abortions again.
” We’re in a different moment than when Hillary]Clinton ] was running because we are post-Dobbs. Therefore, people will be thinking differently about a lady holding the president, according to Professor Harris.
According to the secret college professor, 94 percent of black people support Clinton and are dedicated Democratic Party supporters.
Adult voters also have a preference for how their views on a range of problems affect their entire home, she said.
” But Black women will question,’ How does this affect my father? My father? My child?’ How will this affect my family, asks the question” How will this affect me?” We have discovered. But we think presently with Vice President Harris, that will be changing”, Professor Harris told the news outlet.
As an example, she said an “unprecedented” fundraising event last week for Harris,” Win with Black Men”, raised$ 1.3 million in four days.
Professor Harris claimed that she and other scholars have spent years studying the vice president through the Kamala Harris Project, and that she thinks voters are interested in learning about the president’s past.
” So culture does matter. Gender does problem. I appreciate that some folks want us to move past it, but we have n’t, she said.
Other researchers ‘ comments on the vice president’s culture and gender have also been a topic of conversation. In her race against former Republican President Donald Trump in November, academics at Rutgers and Northwestern have stated that Harris will be the specific of” discriminatory and racist” problems.
