Kamala Harris was tapped to become Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate, some not-so-typical political jabs have cannonballed their way into the media," writes HuffPost guest writer Candace Howze. "Most notably, there were President Donald Trump’s initial remarks about Harris: 'She left [the presidential race] angry. She left mad. There was nobody more insulting to Biden than she was.' While it’s a known fact that Harris was a staunch critic of Biden’s previous politics, the 'angry Black woman' trope was clear throughout Trump’s attacks."⁠ ⁠ "This stereotype has empowered white supremacy and misogyny to harness the anger of racial and ethnic minorities, and the result is the general belief that 1) their anger is unwarranted, and 2) their anger is unproductive at best and destructive at worst," writes Howze. "The truth is that anger is completely constructive and has long been the catalyst for reformation in modern society."⁠ ⁠ "Anger gives birth to petitions, protests, demonstrations and other direct actions and social movements," adds Howze. "It powers grassroots organizations and can inspire people to use and lift up their voices. Demonizing anger is a barrier to progress."⁠ ⁠ "People may call Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama 'angry' as if they have no right to be dissatisfied, but we must ask ourselves: Are we satisfied? Are we satisfied with Donald Trump’s administration?" Howze asks.⁠ ⁠ "While you’re considering where you stand, know this: you may call me, a proud Black woman, 'angry' any day of the week," Howze concludes. "Not matter how it is intended ― no matter how hurt or harmed anyone, from our president to a stranger on the street, may intend for me to be, it is not a slur to me. It is not something to be ashamed of or to work on getting over or giving up." Read her full essay at our link in bio. // 📝 @aceisjoy」8月22日 0時07分
