Unqualified White Men Question Vice President Kamala Harris’ Credentials Despite Impressive Resume

In a bizarre turn of events, a caller on English talk radio station LBC recently made headlines for questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ credentials, suggesting that she only got the job because she is a Black woman. The caller, identified as James, went on to defend himself against accusations of racism by revealing that he has a tattoo of Kunta Kinte, a character from the TV miniseries “Roots,” whom he considers a hero.

Host Ben Kentish tried to reason with James, pointing out Harris’ impressive resume and asking if her appointment could be based on merit. However, James remained adamant that Harris was chosen solely because of her race and gender, dismissing any notion of her qualifications.

The situation caught the attention of actor LeVar Burton, who portrayed Kunta Kinte in “Roots.” Burton reposted the video of James’ comments and expressed his disbelief, emphasizing that racism is not just a personality flaw but a spiritual defect.

Social media users were quick to criticize James, with one person calling out his denial of racism and another questioning the qualifications of Harris’ Republican opponent. Some even speculated about the details of James’ tattoo, with one user humorously suggesting it might actually be a tattoo of Burton’s other famous characters.

While this incident may seem like talk radio nonsense, it highlights the ongoing challenges faced by women and people of color in positions of power. Despite Harris’ extensive experience and qualifications, she continues to face baseless criticism and doubt from individuals like James, whose misguided beliefs only serve to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and divisions in society.
