Sharpton: Kamala Held to Higher Standard Because She Is a Black Woman

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline,” network host Al Sharpton argued Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had to drop out of the 2020 presidential campaign in part because of racism and sexism.

Sharpton said, “First of all, I think that she ran a great race. I think that she is a great candidate.”

He continued, “But she is dealing with an environment where you have for the first time, that you have these kind of rules that are different.”

Host Nicolle Wallace asked, “What rules?”

Sharpton said, “Certain amount of money, certain amount of polling to be in the debates. And when you have a Tom Steyer who is fine, raised great issues, but this woman is a U.S. senator, was attorney general of the state and was a district attorney. Steyer could come in and buy commercials and up his polling. And I think that the real problem the Democrats are going to have is the next debate, you have no black on that stage. The Democrat Party cannot have a stage where black voters do not see themselves reflected.”

Is Sharpton for real? He only sees black which makes him blind to the fact that white people can succeed without out being subsidized. Oh, Incidentally, why is the Crosby Show still being televised while House of Cards was canceled? -- Just saying.

No mention made of her sleeping her way up the ladder in CA, a practice not equally available to men.

Her mother is from the country of India, and her father from a family of slaveowners in Jamaica. She was mostly raised in Canada. And as others have noted, slept her way to various appointed positions. Plus her lack of traction is with Iowa DemocratSocialists; in other words even her party members found her totally unworthy. Goodbye!

Guess Al can throw his influence to Spartacus. That should give him the boost he needs!

He is admitting his own party is racist, as the Republicans have no cards in having Harris as a nominee to their party. How stupid is he to make the racist argument. She changed her slogan so many times to find a niche, it was obvious, she stood for nothing that were of concerns of her voters. So, according to Sharpton, Democrats are racist. Not Republicans.

If all this is true 742, just who voted barack hussein obama into the white house ??

Her mom 100 percent Indian from India. Her dad half Jamaican and half White and Jewish. This makes her at BEST 25 percent Jamaican/black. How is she considered BLACK? Why didn’t all the liberals donate their life saving to her? It’s almost as if a very SMALL part of the country are far left I could be wrong. Considering I’m a deplorable

Northwest Woodsman: Has anyone out there ever heard of a case where any black is held to a higher standard? Seems that the opposite is more like it.

She's only a little more black than Warren is Indian.

Sharpton you are the biggest racist in America, and a tax cheat. Harris couldn’t sleep with everyone, so she didn’t stand a chance. That is the way she got where she is. She didn’t have a platform that suited the people, same reason the others aren’t doing well. Free for illegals why citizens sleep in the cold, don’t think so.

A higher standard because she’s black ? Explain affirmative action then Al ? Which suggests blacks can’t do it on their own. I’m black and take offense to that Democrat narrative... I don’t need a liberals help I just need the government to get out of the way

He makes his money off of claims of racism. By inciting false claims of racism. Getting his people riled up so they will fill his pockets.
