Kamala Harris comes from a long lineage of prominent Black leaders who count themselves as Howard University alumni. Among them: • Stokely Carmichael • Toni Morrison • Rep. Elijah Cummings • Zora Neale Hurston

Harris described Howard as a"place where you didn't have to be confined to the box of another person's choosing" and where students were not just told"we had the capacity to be great; we were challenged to live up to that potential."

"It is where I first ran for my first elected office, which was freshman class representative of the Liberal Arts Student Council, so this is where it all began," Harris said. Soon after launching her campaign, she spoke at the annual Pink Ice Gala hosted by Alpha Kappa Alpha in South Carolina, one of numerous occasions in which Harris would find herself surrounded by sorors in trademark pink and green.

Did they also lock up thousands of blacks for minor weed possession & do their best to hide evidence in a murder case? Don’t think so.

I thought she was Indian? why only focus on one side of her ethnic background? why does she have to only be one or the other? address her as both, please.

I thought Harris was Indian and Jamaican...not really 'black.' I guess 'any port in a storm' where identity politics is involved.

Lmao

What about the lineage of slave ownership... were just going to skip those pages huh?

Don’t forget Talcum-X.

Thought Kamala was the first Indian American Senator! Also comes from a long line of slave owners in her family! OANN BlazeTV newsmax walkawayFromDemocratCommunists

She’s not black....

Yet, she’s Jamaican- Indian....and her family owned slaves

You’re going with “she’s black” this week, huh? Downsize the Tamil because...we need to convince African-Americans she’s one of them. Got it. How many of your other Howard designees have ancestors who were large slaveholders?

She also comes from,Jamaican Slave Owners!

Is she black, brown or woman of color? Different outlets tell me different things.

Lol okay

She comes from slave owners

NPR, come on, jeez. Kamala would beat the shit out of Stokely and throw him in prison and laugh about it.

Are we counting slave owners as “prominent black leaders” now? I’m trying to keep up.

She also comes from slave owners

Yeah and her father hates her
