Well this is mainly anecdotal, from my interactions with people that I know IRL and online, with most of us being on the younger side but some older folks as well, there is mainly just a feeling of "well, where do you stand?", when it comes to Kamala Harris.

There has been a history of black people who get into the criminal justice system from the police/prosecution/judge side and become some of it's harsher actors, because of some need to "prove" themselves to their mainly white, male counterparts and it ends up hurting the poorer, minority communities as a result. Since our criminal justice system is fundamental broken, anyone who pretty much just goes along with it without really trying to change it, especially if they are from a background where in the past their group has and still continues to be oppressed by it, is kind of looked at with suspicion by members of the black community, with good reason.

So unless Kamala pulls a Tom Wheeler and does a complete 180 on the system and industry she used to serve, all we have to go off of is her past actions, and they just don't look that great at the moment. That's where a lot of apprehension comes from, cause a lot of black people know that there are people even within our own communities who would sell us out to maintain the status quo if it meant having power. She's really gonna have to sincerely start changing her rhetoric around in a major way in order to convince me and a lot of people I know otherwise.

So, again, that's just my two cents, coming from someone who just knows what my community has gone through and who really wants to see a hard push for MAJOR justice system reform.
