The Harris campaign is doing everything they can to convince America to choose Kamala Harris to be the next President. But instead of appealing to American principles, they are making horrific moves.
And the Harris campaign’s shocking racist move has angered millions of Americans.
On Thursday, a staggering 160,000 white Democrat women participated in a Zoom call aimed at teaching them how to be better allies to Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. The primary message: shut up and listen to black Indigenous people of color (BIPOC).
This training session, titled “White Women: Answer the Call,” saw prominent liberal celebrities like Megan Rapinoe, Pink, and Connie Britton, among others, urging white women to leverage their privilege to support Harris. This event underscores a troubling trend in the Democratic Party: the manipulation of white guilt for political gain.
From “White Women: Answer the Call” for Kamala Harris:
“If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals or—god forbid—correcting them, just take a beat and instead we can put our listening ears on.”

The training, led by Arielle Fodor, emphasized the need for white women to remain silent and listen to BIPOC voices. “As white women, we need to use our privilege to make positive changes,” Fodor stated. “If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals – or God forbid correcting them – just take a beat, and instead, we can put our listening ears on.”
This sentiment was echoed throughout the session, with Fodor and other speakers highlighting the importance of checking one’s “blind spots” and being ready for feedback.
They urged participants to follow BIPOC activists and creators and to share their content. Fodor even suggested that white women should engage in uncomfortable conversations with their “bigoted family members” to further the cause.
Elizabeth Minnella, another leader of the training, introduced her favorite group, “Witches for Harris,” and encouraged activists to send Harris donation links to voters and allies. The call featured appearances from Megan Rapinoe, Pink, and Connie Britton, who joked that they should be called “Karens for Kamala.” Rapinoe, known for her outspoken criticism of America, added a layer of irony to the event, given her past statements.

The Thursday event was inspired by a previous Zoom call organized by the activist group “Win With Black Women,” which took place shortly after President Joe Biden announced his decision not to seek re-election, instead endorsing Harris.
The event aimed to galvanize white Democrat women to support Harris’s campaign, leveraging their guilt and privilege as political tools.
Following the success of the white women’s Zoom call, a similar meeting for white Democrat men, titled “White Dudes for Harris,” has been scheduled. This move illustrates the broader strategy of the Harris campaign: utilizing identity politics and white guilt to rally support.
This development raises several questions about the state of the Democratic Party and its reliance on identity politics. The call’s directive for white women to remain silent and listen instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue reflects a troubling trend of division and exclusion.
By focusing on race and guilt, the Harris campaign risks alienating potential supporters who feel manipulated rather than inspired.
Neutrality and Balance
The approach taken in this Zoom call may not be the most effective way to achieve these goals. Encouraging silence and compliance rather than open dialogue and mutual understanding could foster resentment and division.
It is essential to consider whether such tactics truly serve the cause of justice or merely perpetuate a cycle of guilt and obligation.
The “White Women: Answer the Call” Zoom call highlights a critical issue within the Democratic Party’s strategy for the upcoming election.
By leveraging white guilt and emphasizing silence over dialogue, the Harris campaign risks furthering division rather than unity. It remains to be seen whether these tactics will succeed in galvanizing support or if they will backfire, alienating potential allies in the process.
