A social-media account for white male supporters of Kamala Harris was briefly suspended from X, formerly Twitter, sparking anger online.
Newsweek observed that the White Dudes for Harris X account had been temporarily suspended after the group held a star-studded virtual call on Monday night that raised more than $4 million.
It is not clear why the account was suspended, but it appeared to have been restored as of the early hours of Tuesday. The automated message when the account was suspended read: “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”
Mike Nellis, who is involved in the organization, shared an update on Tuesday explaining that while the X account is live again, it still remains suspended.
…
In response to the suspension, Ross Morales Rocketto, an organizer for the group, wrote, “Got @elonmusk [X owner] scared.”
Brett Meiselas, the co-founder of outlet MeidasTouch, shared on X a photo of the suspended account, along with the message: “This is the real election interference.”
Why is a presidential campaign organization segregated by race in the first place? Is this 1950?
Because a hell of a lot of white guys are extremely racist. It’s important for these men to come out and publicly declare that they support not only a woman but a black woman. It’s important to do it in a way that will get attention, fit with the tone of the campaign and get the point across that it’s cool to support and embrace women and weird and creepy to hate them.
You’re half right, I think it’s more so like minded white guys can come together with other non-racist non-sexist men like them. Rather than them virtue signaling that they aren’t either of those things it’s a space where they can be with their own kind and not expect a racist/sexist or two in the mix - which is kind of nice for a change.
When I think of a random assortment of white guys theres always someone with a Molon Labe tattoo or a Proud Boys hoodie in their closet and that’s really the turd in the punch bowl when it comes to the male white sort of people. I have no experience with the WDFH group but that is my impression.
Its probably parodying the whole “<insert minority group> for Trump” groups that are almost always just white conservatives
No it’s not a parody it’s a real campaign organization.
The satanic temple is also kind of a parody while also being a serios institution.
This is the answer that most helped me “get” it, thanks!

Why not both?
Two things can be true at once.
Yeah but the name is the play, not the org itself
1950 ?
The GOP are using racism and misogyny at VP Harris like they did to Michelle and Barack.
This is America. And it is 2024.
So we can recognize how shitty racism is and then still do segregated activities because it’s ok when the right people do it? I don’t understand this line of reasoning.
If half your targeted audience is a certain way, it’s important to broaden your tone to fit and capture as many people’s attention as possible.
It’s a marketing concept, and a damn good one, too.
I used the same concept here. I avoided long words so my audience could consume the ideas.
Too many syllables. Try: Me no use long words so you can know what me am say.

It’s not Harris’ campaign doing this, these are independent organizations. A bunch of groups saw the success of the “Win with Black Women” call and wanted in on it.
It really shows the diversity in support behind future President Kamala Harris, and I think it’s actually kinda cool!
They arent segregated there are just issues and ways of speaking which are important for communicating with certain groups. The black women call for instance had a lot of non black women attending.
