California’s racially charged all-Democrat Senate race has spilled onto the Democratic National Convention as the candidates continued to feud over President Obama’s endorsement of one over the other.

Attorney General Kamala Harris, the recipient of Mr. Obama’s blessing, said Monday that she thought Rep. Loretta Sanchez should apologize to the president for suggesting that race played a role in the endorsement. Ms. Harris is black and Ms. Sanchez Hispanic.

“I find it very troubling, and I think that that is not the voice or perspective of a leader,” Ms. Harris told Fox11 in Los Angeles.

“Especially in these times, where if you want to be a leader, you should understand it’s in the best interest of our country to bring people together, not divide them, and certainly not based on race,” Ms. Harris said. “I frankly think she should apologize to the president of the United States.”

Yes, true. I remember the cartoon in the paper that showed little Amy Carter swinging on a swing tied to the nose of a B-1 scrapped to her personal playground......

The irony here is that the GOP voters in CAL will decide which democrat wins.

Lighter blacks are racist against darker blacks. To many, only color matters.

What kind of “democracy” elects democrat candidates in a “Republican” primary? The corruption has become total. They don’t even try to fake it anymore. Disgusting.

” It may not work, as blacks and Hispanics don’t necessarily get along.”

That’s an understatement. A Mexican-black race war has been raging for 10 or more years, and the media has embargoed national reporting of the war.

This one is going to boil over on its own.

Yep. It's like a hot greasy frying pan out there.

Well I just voted for Sanchez only because she is a “known quantity” whereas Kamala could be our undoing!!!!
