[CNN] Most commentators portray Harris' exchange with Biden during the second night of the Democratic debate as a potential game-changer for the Democratic presidential nomination. But Harris dropped a bomb on Biden that's bigger than politics. She exposed a psychological shift in some parts of the black community that's been building for years.
The old days of black people putting up with questionable leaders because they felt like they had no other choice may be over. No more talk about trying to understand white people's racism, forgetting the impact of slavery, moving on from the past because "this is a time of healing."
Forgiveness may not always be divine; sometimes it leads to something worse.
"Look at what forgiveness has gotten us. It gave us Trump," said Wes Jackson, a commentator who said he cheered when he saw Harris confront Biden during the debate.
Biden not only misread the room, he misread the time. |
