Kamala Harris walked into a packed auditorium for her freshman orientation at Howard University and experienced a revelation.
As she studied her classmates at the historically Black school in Washington, D.C., she saw a mini-rainbow coalition of faces from around the US, Africa, the Caribbean and other places -- many impossible to fit into a neat box because their racial and socioeconomic backgrounds were so varied."I stood in the back, looked around and thought, 'This is heaven!' Harris recounts in her biography,"The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.
And it's the constant reminder that you walk in the footsteps of famous HBCU graduates like John Lewis , Ella Baker , the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as well as contemporary leaders like voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams and author Ta-Nehisi Coates .HBCUs are places where a Black person could go"without having your intellect or your humanity called into question," Favors wrote in his book.
She is also the first to be picked solely on gender and skin color. SMH....
Joe Biden could have picked anyone and CNN would have portrayed them as the best thing. Fakenews. biasednews
There is one thing Joe Biden kept his promise on, and that was to elect a female minority as his running mate. So, he chose Senator Kamala Harris. I thought we were to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
FakeNews The Trump administration, unlike any other administration before his, secured permanent funding for HBCU’s almost a year ago. CNN believes the average American citizen is too stupid to debunk their claims. Maybe.. maybe not. But, it’s easy research.
If Kamalla Harris is black I’m a Caucasian!! Jeje
And that matters becuase........
I think Indian and Jamaican Americans should be pretty pissed right now - they are getting completely overshadowed by a narrative that the Democrats desperately need to try and push to get votes. It’s so sad
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮!!!
She’s going to do nothing just like Obama did nothing. They are just the dumbocrats pawns
Lol trash school
CONGRATS YOU KNOW PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE HBCU'S A LOT OF MONEY.
She bring doom to the historic image of US, if she gets elected RIP 2nd amendment, economy & freedom of expression
Trump funded HBCU's when Obama wouldn't
CNN=Democratic party
Correction: they were struggling financially, thankfully Trump provided them with long term funding. Democrats wanted them to continue to beg for money from them each year.
Pity she's not running for President.
Didn't her grandparents or great grandparents own slaves?🤔🤔🤔
Her story of putting around 2,000 people behind bars for non violent drug charges? or her families story of slavery in Jamaica?
Harris is a woman of color, she is not black, heritage is Jamaican. U don’t call people born in Mexico black.
Wayne1906 CNN Kamala’s birth certificate says she Caucasian! So she’s a fake fraud poser... Do some journalistic research please!! Your a very poor news source. KamalathePoser
So she's a Black Indian American. Got it
The blackest thing in kamala was Willie Brown
Y’all hated on her 6 months ago
Black college culture is completely independent of who our President is. Are you saying that only universities that create presidents are valid? And why wasn't the black college culture vindicated by the 8 years of Obama's presidency? This is total BS.
😍👍
She aint black
SHE ISNT BLACK!!!! Lol
The main thing going for her is She Does Not Look Black.
Why dont they give the same importance to her Asian side
What revelation? She lies as much if not more than Biden, is that something Blacks should be proud about? She bragged about incarcerating young brown and black boys for smoking pot. Is that something Blacks should thank her for? She's a mess and everyone knows it. TRUMP 2020!
So first an all black college would be racist correct. The same as if there were all white college
Ok, I'm so confused. Are Jamaican's or Indians considered African Americans? Is it now just the skin color that counts? Charlize Theron is more African American than her. Just google it.
Glad Trump gave more funding than any resident to hbcu
Thats weird I thought trump found a way to fund them 🤔 more lies by CNN
JoeBiden KamalaHarris Why do you Democrats always play the race card for your political gain? That’s all y’all have is the race card 🤦🏻♂️ Sad!
All of your so called journalists must have taken a class in drama and how to write a romance novel. Such nonsense
Queue in paid Russian trolls, working overtime to discredit Kamala...
I thought all cops were bastards?
This is basically a straight up endorsement of the Democratic ticket by cnn
Hi gorgeous you going make great Vice President in White House Vice President Harris
Much needed
All historically black women should attend.
Jeez I wonder what president is helping the funding of the hbcu.
She is not black 😂
But she is on the dark side the devil side what is Right will become wrong what is wrong will become right she's trying to turn the world upside down
Wrong choice.
US sucks. RACISTS
realDonaldTrump is your president for the next 4 1/2 years, nothing you can do about it.
None of that matters to me.
I'm more black than she has
Trump is so racist that he pledged more funds to those colleges than Obama did. Seems to me that a ravenous racist would not do such a thing. Also pick a nationality for this woman...You keep going back and forth to suit narrative.
While Congress awards Harvard millions, Trump moves to bolster historically black colleges
Is this damage control for claiming she is black? She went to a historically black college.... Nice try, plz try again
Bill Cosby went to a HBCU. Ringing endorsement?
Vindicated? Are there large number of people that think they’re bad
KamalaHarris and JoeBiden are you ok with this corrupt man in your side? FelipeCalderon
What’s black college culture? Lol. Sounds a little weird & racist
what's can Goin to do if the demo get in.. you think the civil unrest you have stoked for years will go away ?.. you have lit the paper that is Goin to burn America down for everyone..putin must love you
Trump is first to extend funding for HBCs. Not O'Biden. Trump.
