Kamala Harris was so keen to play the "I'm sooooo black" card that she lied about smoking pot and listening to Tupac and Snoop Dog while in College. Turns out she's so old neither Tupac nor Snoop Dog released albums until after she graduated. Lol. 

 

She actually said when asked if she smoked pot "I'm half Jamaican are you serious", something her father chided her about as being racist.

 

Kamala Harris Is Accused of Lying About Listening to Tupac. Here’s What Actually Happened.

 

It began as a lighthearted moment. Senator Kamala Harris, the California Democrat and former prosecutor who announced her presidential candidacy last month, revealed on a popular radio show this week that she had smoked marijuana during her college years at Howard University in Washington.

 

But after a viral tweet ignited backlash from marijuana activists and conservatives, Ms. Harris faces accusations that she fabricated parts of her story. In the midst of answering simultaneous questions about what music she listens to, she appeared to some to say she listened to rap artists like Tupac and Snoop Dogg as she smoked in college, though neither released an album until after she graduated.

She didnt say she listened to them, she said she listened to artists like them.

Could your argument get more silly.

 

Well, it depends on your definition of "is" ahahaaa

Not just silly, but plain wrong. Kamala Harris is on record saying she listens to Snoop Dog. Not people "like them".

 

No, you're right it's a silly claim.

 

Almost as silly as lying on a recorded show.

Anywho, real fantastic pick right there. Arguably one of the most unlikeable and unprincipled of them all, but it was the obvious choice considering the state of lawlessness going on in the states.

Memories of that time I'm sure have faded by now, just as Trump's memories over the end of Word War I (or was it II?), when exactly the Spanish was flu wreaking havoc, etc.

 

Her 'lies' are faded memories, not more, although I'm sure if you look hard enough you can come up with a couple more, maybe about 19,999 more or so she made over the past 3.5 years?

[bendejo]

Here it is only the first day of the announcement, and DT's attacks on Harris could be taken as endorsements coming from a GOP politician (but we all know he's not really a Republican).  Another level of buffoonery.

The more he tries to denounce her the better she will appear.

But if I have 2 prospects for an employee and I pick the white guy because he'd be better suited for my clientele, that would be a nono. But, yes I understand biden's reason.

"- In 2003, after several years in the Alameda county district attorney’s office, Harris became the first Black woman to be elected as San Francisco’s district attorney.

 - Seven years later, she made history again as the first Black woman to be elected as California attorney general. 

- Biden announced Tuesday that he had selected Harris as his running mate, making the California senator the first woman of color to join a major political party’s presidential ticket."

On Tuesday afternoon, before she was announced as Biden's pick, Harris tweeted about the need for diversity in the leadership of the party. "Black women and women of color have long been underrepresented in elected office and in November we have an opportunity to change that," she wrote.

Lol, so much competence. Clearly one way to secure a job though. Well done girl.

If I recall correctly you once mentioned you are a female. I guess culturally we are divided as it comes across to me as a very insulting generalised connotation i.e. females making false charges against men.

So far you have complained about her 1973??? university memories and her trying to involve more black women in politics. I'm sure with this many things against her she doesn't stand a chance.

A bit surprising for a District Attorney and a vice presidential candidate, but hey, laws, rules and regulations only apply to the little people.

It's not that Kamala Harris was completely useless as a DA though, she tackled the important issue of teens insulting each other:

 

Kamala Harris created a special Hate Crimes Unit, focusing on hate crimes against LGBT children and teens in schools.

In her case it  is not. She attended high school in one of  Canada's wealthiest communities, Westmount, Quebec. Her mother was a visiting professor at McGill and a researcher at the Lady Davis Cancer Institute of the Jewish General Hospital, a McGill medical school teaching hospital. This is the hospital that successfully treated  Michael Davis throat cancer.

First I think she was the best choice out of the names I heard being floated, much better than Abrams. At least Harris has a pleasing appearance.

 

 But my concern with Harris is two pronged. First, my concern is she weakens women generally by having used her feminine charms with Willie Brown to create a career. I am being polite. But this is not exactly what female empowerment is about - and will be a constant reminder/Achilles heel.

Indeed as demonstrated by the comments above. As the beloved President Obama used to say, when they go low, we will go high. I count the days until civility and decorum are restored to the White House.

If you were Canadian you wouldn't have to ask that question. Clue: understanding truth about single payer. Which none of my American friends do.

I don't think Sen Harris attendance at a  wealthy Canadian high school in the late 1970's would have given her a deep unnerstanding of the medical care system of Canada, especially since it has changed significantly in the past 20 years.

Really? She hasn't done it yet.  Her father would have boxed her  ears if she had spoken ghetto. He came from an established Jamaican family and was a professor at Stanford in the world renowned  economics department. Her mother was a respected health scientist. Unlike the current residents of the White House, she has actual "genius" genetic stock and graduated from universities  with high standing on her own.

Do try and keep the race baiting to yourself please.

Noooo, far from Kamala to try and play the "I'm so black" card. That's why this actual "genius genetic stock" claimed to have listened to Tupac and Snoop Dog whilst smoking pot in college even though neither Snoop Dog nor Tupac had released any albums until after she graduated. What a genius!

With the help of the typical rush to judgment on social media, and some masterful framing by Fox & Friends, a fake controversy was born. The claim was that Harris lied about her weed experience to curry favor with the black community.

Didn’t take long for Trump to score another own goal by his typical ad hominem name calling Sen Kamala Harris nasty and meanest. He offended the African-American community and the female voters. He is just so dumb. 

It gets even better, Trump and Ivanka actually donated money to her campaign in an earlier stage.
