I found this on NewsBreak: ‘As a Black Woman…‘: CNN Commentator Takes Exception to Republican Guest Slamming Kamala Harris’ ‘Incompetence’
https://share.newsbreak.com/7vksztiu

People who are afraid of intelligence and competence raise issues of incompetence because of fear. If you who are in power are going to win, you leave the competent person place to show the contrast. Unless, the person is truly competent and you are worried that next 105 days is spelling your end, so you come up with bs articles of impeachment to deflect the attention to the bs. The MAGAHAT's didn't see this coming nor see the energy and youth ready to vote for her!

You all are toast, cave dwelling time, she is saving democracy

CNN political commentator Ashley Allison snapped at a fellow panelist on CNN, Tuesday after he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' "incompetence." The post ‘As a Black Woman…‘: CNN Commentator Takes Exception to Republican Guest Slamming Kamala Harris’ ‘Incompetence’ first appeared ...

Some say, that certain things are better left unsaid or better yet never talked about, because they didn't exist, though they did. Walter Gordon's story brought to the light of day, by Doug Harris, of DougHarrisMedia, in my hometown of Berkeley California.
Walter's story touches some of my own because my mentor William "Bill" Hastie Jr, a black attorney in California followed Walter to the then Boalt Law School and in turn Walter Gordon followed William Hastie Sr, the first African-American federal judge and the first Ambassador of the Virgin Islands. Walter Gordon was the first in many ways, first All-American and the first Black All-American at Cal. The first Black law school grad from the then, Boalt Law School, now UC Berkeley Law School. The first black policeman in Berkeley. The courage, focus to battle the racism I am sure he encountered was phenomenal. Still he rose because he knew that whatever he did, he had to do it with "excellence and purpose." Those that have followed in Walter's footsteps didn't know he existed and with this story, it is great to know that someone, laid the groundwork "for excellence beyond measure." I know in my own life, in my career of serving the Black and Diverse Attorney of Color community throughout the US, the UK and Canada, that all the lawyers, I know, is that they only understand the phrase, "excellence, not good, not average, only excellence." I have patterned my career and step along the paths, that Judge Hastie, his son, William Hastie Jr have set within the legal profession in California and throughout the world. I am so proud to bring this man's legacy to you, via Doug Harris and Doug Harris Media.

The Orange Jesus is not, "A King." He is a grinder, a liar and a narracist. He has never cared about anything only about himself. You vote for him you are showing all your friends that don't care about our laws. That you want return to a fascist country and you two will pay for your stupidity. You know your grievances will be thrown under the bus with all the folks you detest!

This says something about some employers where I live. With shortages of workers, employers have tolerated poor professionalism in light of having competent and professional employees working on their establishments.

It is far easier to work with less employees that care than to work with those that don't and have no pride in what they do.

Much of what I say here is consistent in my religious, political and the friendships that have sustained me my entire life and career. I don't go far afield from my basic understanding of my upbringing starting in Berkeley to my current home here on the east coast. I hope you listen, agree to disagree and most of all joy the conversation enjoy, agree or disagree most importantly, listen the make logical arguments make logical arguments, I would be honored and blessed by all you say.

It's been a while since I have wrote something about my profession, as many of you already know, that there are very few of "us" seeking black and diverse attorney of color legal talent exclusively. Next month, starts my 29th year and going forward, I am moving towards turning my business to a much younger black attorney who resides across the pond. I am looking to establish a relationship with him and my time and energy slows and his youth and energy will undoubtedly pick up with this business moving to a global landscape, that is my hope. My prayers are that this transition will energize others in this industry to actively and purposely meet the needs of the black and diverse attorney of color community across the nation and around the globe. When I established this company, my sole purpose, frankly was to eat, over the last 28 years, I have benefited from two many items, one is the open and lasting relationships with all of you. Two, is the open dialogue about your practices and educating me in detail in what you do, so I can unabashedly promote your talent to the legal marketplace of law firms and in house corporate legal departments. So, let me if you will and indulge me about some myths about working in house as young attorneys of color. For many of you graduating from law school in the last 5 years or so, you have been erroneously led to believe that practicing law in a in house corporate legal department will allow you more freedom and expression based on your set of principles and goals. While it may be true, your principles and goals are your authentic truth as you understand them based on your life experiences up to now. What is a myth is that the hours you will spend in this job as a in house lawyer will keep you from putting in the long and arduous hours of workinging in a law firm's billable hours mill. You may not work billing hours, but you will work more hours in a day based on what tasks are before you. Mind you, you can learn to work within the team concept and that is well and good. What, you will miss is the intense learning curve necessary to become a good lawyer by working in a law firm. I will continue this soon, think about that concept for a moment and let's have a conversation about in house vs outside as a young diverse attorney of color, your thoughts?
