"Here is the most general explanation: The white gaze views the black body, and especially the black female body, with feelings of disgust and contempt, mixed with desire and envy.
Then there is the specific example of Kamala Harris: The idea of a black woman, a Democrat, as the nation's vice president, and potentially as president, triggers a rage response from white racists who long for a return to a mythical past of white male domination over, and exploitation of, Black women and girls."
End snip.
Well folks, that about sums it up.
I suggest everyone read the article. It's rather good and each of us will take something away from reading it.
Post your thoughts.

Kamala scares the shit out of them. She could wipe the floor with any of them and they know that. And they hate her for that.
