As Kamala Harris rushed to pick a running mate last year, her “first choice” was her close friend Pete Buttigieg, but she decided that it would be “too big of a risk” for a Black woman to run with a gay man.
Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man,” Harris writes in a passage of her soon-to-be-released book, 107 Days, that I saw. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.”
Then she added, "Now if I were say, a bisexual white woman, I could have probably gotten away with choosing a Hispanic cis gender male candidate that was into leather and lace, but not if I were a black woman. But let's say, for example, I was a Chinese asexual with a foot fetish, there is no way I would pick anyone but a cis gender white man who shot straight as an arrow. But I think you understand what I am getting at, America just isn't ready for certain racial/sexual combinations to vote for, something I am an expert in. It has more to do with their systemic racism more than anything. Where I went wrong was, I tried to pick a straight white man for VP but wound up with a sissified girlish middle aged goofball instead. Understand, I had no idea at the time what I was choosing and is why we lost."
No word yet on whether or not the DNC will run an asexual Chinese woman with a foot fetish that will pick a cis gender white male that shoots straight as an arrow. More to come.
