...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too...(D-Two-Time Loser) has finally taken a new job after her disastrous loss to Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) in November.
Luckily for those of us in the Peach State, Stacey’s new gig isn’t in Georgia; it’s in Washington, D.C. And before you worry that the Biden administration has allowed Abrams to shape policy in any way, the wouldn’t-be governor has taken a position in academia as the first Ronald W. Walters Endowed Chair for Race
and Black Politics at Howard University.
The university’s flowery statement — referring to "Stacey Abrams, Esq." — overdramatically describes what Abrams’ job entails.
In this role, Abrams will foster interdisciplinary collaborations across the University on critical issues of race and Black politics, especially those issues that affect Americans of the African diaspora. The chair will inspire research and encourage broad discussions of scholarship for real-world solutions to complex, seemingly insoluble societal problems that adversely affect African diasporic communities and other vulnerable populations. Finally, as the inaugural chair, Abrams will lead a vibrant Ronald W. Walters Speakers Series with invited guests on a range of topics representing diverse perspectives.
Howard University President Wayne A. I. Frederick has an inflated sense of what Abrams brings to the table.
"Stacey Abrams has proven herself an essential voice and eager participant in protecting American democracy — not just for certain populations, but for everyone with the fundamental right to make their voices heard," he said, presumably with a straight face. He also highlighted how students will benefit from "dialogue with a contemporary candidate whose work has directly influenced today’s political landscape." There’s no word on how Abrams’ experience losing two high-profile races will help the students at Howard.
