Yes, American WS has spent the last two and a half centuries undermining every opportunity for Black Americans to succeed, from slavery to Jim Crow, from Reconstruction to Tulsa. Without the ERA and with the overturning of Roe v Wade, we are still trying to stop the opportunity for every woman in this country to succeed, too.

Let's put a stop to it. We showed the possibility of stopping it by electing Obama, by electing Wes Moore, by electing Cory Booker, hopefully, by electing Colin Allred later this year.

If we just say, "Electing a Black woman like Kamala Harris cannot be done because of WS," we are allowing the forces of WS to continue without a fight. We are succumbing to the racism, misogyny, and bigoty we are trying to end.
