During the debate among some of the candidates Thursday night when Kamala Harris started criticizing Biden for opposing mandatory busing, talking about the 1970's, and segregation, almost 50 years ago, here's how I would have responded to her. "That was years and years ago and those wrongs have been corrected by our country. Why are you so angry and keep bringing up the past? You yourself, a black, and a female, you were able to became a lawyer, you were the California attorney general, you are a U.S. senator and here you are running for the office of the president of the United States. This country has given you more opportunities than any other country ever will."
sheeesssh! It's a political debate where one candidate wants to stand out and paint the other candidates in a bad light. Like Trump in the debate in 2016. It isn't about the past in general, it's about Biden and his support of segregation (or her point of view that he supported segregation). You don't remember Biden's comments on then candidate Obama before Biden was selected for the VP's position?
I'm not a Kamala supporter - but she was pointing out that SHE was able to get as far as she did because she was one of the kids that was bused to a better school. she stills sees a lot of kids who weren't able to get to better schools and end up falling through the cracks. So again, I'm not a supporter, but I can see where she is coming from on this issue.
Wow. You should be a campaign consultant for Trump. But I wouldn't apply for a job advising anyone else.
Much like Booker, I think it was an attempt by Harris to gain a boost in the polls. To run off the racial accusations Booker set. I honestly think the mental breakdown Harris had with Biden was embarrassing for Harris and her supporters. Yes, you were that girl but everyone is or was something at one point in their lives. This is a debate, not a play in a theatre. Save the dramatics for the sidelines.
Harris had everything rehearsed and ready to dump at the appropriate moment. You need to study up on how exactly Harris got her power. It had nothing to do with riding on a bus, it was riding on a Willie.
Harris also lied. She said she was in the second integrated class but records show her school was integrated before she was born.
She got the sweet government appointments (where she was making as much as a state senator with the only obligation being she appeared at 2 meetings a month. And during that time, she was introduced to other influential California politicians.
Suppose you could use the same logic with your Republican president who slept with numerous whores even while Melania was nursing their baby boy, Baron. What's the difference Christian?
No-she was appointed. Kamala Harris launched political career with $120K 'patronage' job from boyfriend Willie Brown https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...20k-patronage-job-from-boyfriend-willie-brown
So she is rapidly proven wrong. Dems can continue to live in fantasy land and pretend it does not matter-but she's going to get clobbered in a general.
Her home town newspaper agrees with what she said: "When Kamala Harris got on a Berkeley school bus for the first time five decades ago, she was taking part in one of the nation’s first efforts to use busing to integrate public schools. The yellow bus took her up from her home in the flatlands to Thousand Oaks Elementary in the hills, linking neighborhoods that were cleaved by race and income… Just a few years after Harris got on her first school bus, Biden was arguing against busing, calling the concept “asinine” and fighting efforts in the Senate to impose it around the country." https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/28/kamala-harris-busing-integration-berkeley-joe-biden-debate/ She was discussing busing as a tool for integration, not integration. Perhaps you confused integration with busing.
And yet when I asked you multiple time to provide proof, you have none. Now answer the question: Did Harris got voted to the US Senate? That would be a Yes, or a No.
You don't get elected senator by riding on a willie, nor will that make you smart, talented and an ass-kicker like she is.
I have mixed feelings about Kamala Harris. Pro: Harris is smart and able to easily articulate in an intelligent/ concise manner. She speaks Tamil [her mother's native language] and visits grandparents in India yearly. Kamala is multicultural [South-Asian/ Jamaican] Kamala has experience in high elected office both in California government and now a senator. As Attorney General, she was tough on crime and aggressively held parents accountable for their children's truancy. Senator Harris is a great cook. She is knock-dead good looking and her laughter melts hearts. Con: . . . I'm thinking . . . can anyone help me? . . . anything negative about Kamala?
I kinda prefer in the Presidency somebody who got a $120 K job, made the most of it and became a Senator. Rather than a parasite who inherited his dad's fortune and squandered it.
