For the left, few things top the color of one’s skin when it comes to qualifications to hold office. The amount of melanin in a person’s skin is paramount for some like Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D), who allowed his excitement over Vice President Kamal Harris being promoted to the top of the Democratic ticket to get the better of him.
The black governor was pushing distorted Democratic talking points designed to paint 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a racist when he posted on X: “Donald Trump is about to find out being the President of the United States is a Black job.”
Moore shared a photo of himself with Harris — the vice president’s mother is from India and her father is from Jamaica:

In post-Obama America, black politicians can celebrate “chocolate cities” and boast about having “the blackest administration” in history, as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson did — not that this stops these same politicians from falling back on racism as the ultimate excuse for most failings.
Of course, if America spins off its axis and actually elects dim-witted, unaccomplished Kamala Harris president, she would not be the first “black” president, what with Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, beating her to it.
Either way, Moore’s take on Kamala Harris’ candidacy is racist, as more than one social media user pointed out.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
Everything is about race with you guys.

Now you know damn well this woman is not black. But you’re getting on code for the party. It’s cool just lets me know in the future if you run for higher office not to vote for you.

Sir, Barack Obama existed. We already know a black person can be POTUS.

Her ancestors were the biggest slave-traders in the Caribbean, Wesley. What race of job was that? https://t.co/CyEpDcsyQm

Imagine your worldview being this small and limited.
Seeing value and purpose only in something as arbitrary and meaningless as skin color.
…and still managing to get the heritage of the person you’re celebrating wrong. https://t.co/3oPrG6hnsa
