Why This Black Man Supports Kamala Harris For President

WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE.

Sometimes you have to be profane to be profound

 

My name is George L. Cook III.

I am from Hillside NJ who has served in public office as both a school board member and a member of the town council. I now work with a couple of foundations to help Black students go to college and to help them pay for school when they get there.

I am also a Black man.

A Black man who supports and who is voting for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.

Now that the introductions are out of the way it’s time for the profanity

I don’t give a fuck that her mother is Indian, and her father is Jamaican, she is Black!

I don’t give a fuck that she married a white man!

I don’t give a fuck about the lies about her putting Black men in jail!  She actually started a program called Back on Track for people charged with first-time, nonviolent offenses, like low-level drug sales in an attempt to keep people out of prison. (Ain’t hear about that shit on Youtube did you?)

I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like her laugh!

What do I give a fuck about?

I give a fuck about $35 insulin and affordable medications for us all!

I give a fuck about voting rights!

I give a fuck about students being shot down in school!

I give a fuck about us being able to band together and help each other financially without being sued!

I give a fuck about my daughter’s student debt!

I give a fuck about the healthcare my wife, daughter, and every other woman in my family may or may not receive depending on the state they are in!

I could go on, but I am sure you get the point. Now let me tell you why I am supporting VP Harris.

She is the most qualified person to ever run for president. That’s’ a fact. I don’t care what side you are on your head is up your ass if you think differently. 

She has served as the 27^th District Attorney of San Francisco, the 32nd Attorney General of California, as U.S. Senator from California, and the 49th Vice President of the United States.

She has actual policies the other person has concepts.

And to be honest unlike that other person she gives a damn about people and what happens to them.

From one Black man to another...

I don’t want to hear shit from some of you Black men who are whining about voting for a woman either. 

Many of us were raised by women and are used to seeing women in authority. You listened to your mother, auntie, grandma all your life and now you have problem voting for a woman?

Get the fuck outta here!

Brothas voting for a woman does not make you weak, as a matter-of-fact VP Harris and other Black women need our strength right now. They need us to have their back and to be there beside them as they work to make VP Harris the next president.

We need to be shouldering more of the weight! God gave us broader shoulders for a reason so stop whining and let’s help our women carry this weight! Let's carry VP Kamala Harris to victory in November!

So, what’s up? We doing this shit or what?

I’m voting for VP Harris; you can vote for the clown but don’t cry when you get a circus.
