The latest developments in the politically charged world of leftist activism reveal that the “White Women for Harris” brigade might want to reassess their self-congratulatory back-patting. This comes in light of remarks made by Cora Masters Barry, a high-profile black female activist who has frequented the White House more than 50 times and has met with Vice President Kamala Harris and her team nearly a dozen times.
In a recent awakening, Barry found herself in hot water for some rather unflattering comments directed toward white women during a public Zoom call back in 2021. As the Biden-Harris administration was gearing up for its inauguration, Barry and her fellow activists made headlines for openly disparaging Trump supporters and white voters. The peak of absurdity was when Barry declared her disdain for white women while simultaneously expressing an eagerness to accept their “white guilt money” to fund her community initiatives. This twist of irony could lead to some uncomfortable moments for leftist coalitions trying to rally support for Harris.

The spectacle was made all the more laughable by the nature of the Zoom call itself. It was a gathering of white women aiming to strategize on how best to support the black community, all while ignoring the glaring contradiction of a racially segregated meeting. Among them was TikTok influencer Arielle Fodor, who took it upon herself to “gentle parent” the attendees on how to engage with black individuals. This included the utterly bizarre advice to silence themselves should a black person be speaking, reinforcing the notion that their only role is to be obedient followers in the new social order.
As if that weren’t amusing enough, the white women’s call managed to haul in over $8.5 million, a staggering amount aimed at appealing to upper-middle-class donors who are more than willing to part with their money to alleviate their guilt. This leads one to wonder if Barry’s comments were a rude awakening for these well-meaning, albeit misguided, contributors who wish to champion the causes of others while ignoring the blatant contradictions inherent in their actions.
So, will Barry’s controversial musings have an impact on the voting behavior of white women for Harris? Not likely. The hard-left women who voluntarily marched into this mess will probably continue to drink the progressive Kool-Aid, shrugging off any backlash as they persist in their collective virtue signaling. If history has shown anything, it’s that leftist followers can turn a blind eye to contradictions that suit their narrative.
All in all, it seems Barry has honed in on a remarkable truth: for the Harris campaign, the influence of white women is directly proportionate to the depth of their wallets. In this brave new world of progressive policies, the louder the virtue signaling, the more the activists seem to only care about how much money is on the table.
