For those whom the Inauguration of Kamala Harris means the most to and the long wait is final over. Congratulation. You long deserved it. There would be no America were not for the labor of black women.
I can imagine the enslaved woman cleaning the room and bringing Jefferson his food as he wrote the Declaration of Independence envisionized that some day that a woman who looked like herself wouldn’t be scrubbing and cleaning but leading the nation.
I can imagine this is the day that Revolutionary War women soldiers like Sally St. Claire fought and died for.
I can imagine this is what Harriet Tubman was looking at when it’s said she would appear in deep thoughts at times.
Kamala Harris changed the face of what power looks like.
And to those who aren’t happy about it….
Stuff it.
Grow up and deal with it. Everything isn’t always about you and what you want. Have it ever occurred to you that you are a racist narcissistic suffering from an inferior complex ego which is why you feels everything must be about what you find acceptable in order to enjoy it. Or anything for that matter? I pity you. You have no ideal of the full range of humanity’s diversity you are missing out on.
The reason I dedicated this post strictly to Black women and no one else is because Black women have been excluded from everything except backbreaking hard labor in this country since the 1500’s. They deserve their moment to shine.
My mother used to say; If you have to ask or wait for people’s permission to be happy about anything that’s never going to happen. Some people can’t be happy about any thing if isn’t about them.

You are welcome. It was a small inauguration due to Covid 19 but heartfelt inauguration. One glass ceiling was broken.

Kamala Harris isn’t an African American. Joe Biden’s minders have been running the country and what a mess they’ve made of it so far, so transferring power to Kamala Harris wouldn’t have been a problem for Joe. If Harris becomes the next president, someone will have to tell her that she will have to stop giggling when asked hard questions.

Hi there, thank you for your visit.
I’m curious, if she isn’t African American…then what is she? I’m aware her mother is from India, Chennai, India and her father is from , Browns Town, Jamaica who happens to be black. She was born in the Untied States. So that make her an African America. Sadly, but America still goes by the one drop of black blood rule and you’re deemed to be black.
The Covid-19 death toll was at half a million when Kamala was sworn in. It’s sad and heartbreaking so many lost their lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a new coronavirus variant to be “of concern” and named it Omicron. It had a large number of mutations, and early evidence suggested an increased reinfection risk, the WHO said. But had people in authority sounded the alarm sooner instead of worrying but the material bottom line, I believe many lives should have been saved.
The biggest mess I’ve seen happened on January 6, 2021, insurgents displayed to the world where our weak spots are. They upset things so badly it was the first since the Civil War that Washington D.C. was on lock down for presidential inauguration.
Someone’s giggling doesn’t jeopardize national security. Breaking into Capital Hill, planting a Reb Flag and threatening the Vice President does put us all at risk.
How do you believe things would have been better or different had Trump remained in office?

There was a time when being black in America meant you were descended from one or more enslaved Africans. Can’t work out why, but the definition must have evolved.
Whenever the possibly next President is asked a hard question she laughs. When asked if she’d visited the border, her response was that she hadn’t visited Europe either.
rather than make comparisons, I’d rather point out who’s in charge now and what a mess this administration has made in a very short time

The label of those times have not changed. If one has black blood in them regardless of the race of the other parent in America and most of the world the person is still considered Black or African American. I’m aware that many people wish it was not so, but unfortunately for those who wish otherwise, it is not true.
