    Cool "I was born black. I will die black," Kamala Harris said

    In an interview with The Breakfast Club hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God that aired Monday, the show's hosts asked the California Democrat to address a series of derogatory memes that have circulated on social media. One of the hosts cited a meme that said Harris is "not African-American" because her parents were immigrants born in India and Jamaica and she spent her high school years in Canada.

    "So I was born in Oakland, and raised in the United States except for the years that I was in high school in Montreal, Canada," Harris responded with a laugh. "And look, this is the same thing they did to Barack (Obama). This is not new to us and so I think that we know what they are trying to do."

    "They are trying to do what has been happening over the last two years, which is powerful voices trying to sow hate and division, and so we need to recognize when we're being played," Harris said.

    "I think they don't understand who black people are," Harris replied. "I'm not going to spend my time trying to educate people about who black people are. Because right now, frankly, I'm focused on, for example, an initiative that I have that is called the 'LIFT Act' that is about lifting folks out of poverty," she said, detailing her plan for a $6,000 tax credit for middle class Americans.

    "I'm black, and I'm proud of being black," she said at a later point in the interview. "I was born black. I will die black, and I'm not going to make excuses for anybody because they don't understand."

    She sounds like a racist to me.

    I am proud of being an American, not for being white.

    Do you think Kamala will stop straightening her hair to appear more authentically Black for her pres. campaign.

    She can easily pass the paper bag test, ... she may need to use a little blackface too.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    What does that have to do with pride in America, not pride in race, lad?

    Earl...c'mon.

    Are you suggesting that because she is saying she is proud to be black...she is not also proud to be an American?

    I am proud to be agnostic on REALITY questions. That does not mean I am not proud to be an American. Frankly, I am more proud to be a human on planet Earth...than to be an American.

    There are all sorts of things to take pride in. Excessive pride in things like "being an American (or any other nationality) is horseshit. It is the reason Samuel Johnson opined, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

    Harris IS "proud" she is black. I am sure she is "proud" that she is a woman; "proud" that she is serving her state; "proud that she is serving her country"; and "proud" that she is serving humanity."

    Morning. Frank.

    I haven't seen her saying that she is proud to be an American, just proud of being black.

    I believe that most Americans have moved on from race. The race merchants will always be here but the train has left the station on race. Blacks have been elected to Congress in large numbers and we had a Black president.

    I don't give a rat's culo what race a person is. I just care about helping Americans first and other nations when we can.

    "Pride goes before a great fall." Perhaps we shouldn't be too proud of ourselves.

    You told someone they didn't have a choice of who their parents were. I said neither did Kamala Harris, which means by your own logic, he claims are stupid.
    Now you're saying there's nothing I can do about what she said. Like are you even a real person? WTF?

    Is that among the MOST dumbass pronouncents THESE IDIOTS 'type' out loud? I'm proud I'm white. I'm proud I am an American. Unless they brought their ass over here from some other country, and became citizens with effort and forethought on their own, it is MOST MINDLESS BS .
