On Thursday night Kamala Harris took on former Vice President Joe Biden on his past record on segregation.
Kamala lectured Joe on how she was in the second integrated class in Berkeley, California. She suggested that the local school district had failed, adding, “There are moments in history where states fail to preserve the civil rights of all people.”
The audience loved Kamala’s attack on Joe. And her campaign honored her planned attack by quickly posting a photo of Kamala as a child in pigtails.
But it was all a lie.
Harris said she was a student in only the second class to integrate at Berkeley public schools.
Not true.
Kamala’s parents were successful professionals. Kamala went to school in Berkeley for only 2 years. She then moved with her mother at age seven to Canada where she attended grade school and high school.
Kamala Harris was born in 1964
She claims she was only the second class to integrate at the Berkeley public schools.
Kamala lied. Actually the classrooms in Berkeley were already integrated in 1963 — before she was born. Here’s a photo from the 1963 Berkeley yearbook.
I was bused in California - back when the law was to bus kids from ‘white’ neighborhoods into Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. My primary elementary school was less than a mile from my home - a straight shot down 1 road (and we lived in the corner house on that road!). And yet I had to stand on the corner and wait for a bus to take me an hour away, for 2 years straight. 2 different schools, one for each year. Then the courts overturned that busing law and they switched to bring the Black and Hispanic kids into the more white neighborhoods.
And yet from all that I still empathize with the problem. I don’t resent it at all. The problem is the public school system. Not ethnicity, not race, not neighborhood. We need to dissolve the government run system and replace it with vouchers. This solution is so obvious that some 75% of Black and Hispanic voters favor it. But fat chance that the Democrats would ever go against the Teacher’s Union. Ironic thing about that is that the best teachers, in a voucher system, would get big fat raises and could even own equity in their schools. But, they sacrifice and carry the burden of the worst teachers.
Private voucher system = less $ on bureaucracy and overhead = more $ for teachers = schools designed to meet the specific needs of individual kids instead of treating them like numbers = attract more qualified people into full and part time teaching positions. Pathetic that the media and the debate moderators let Harris off the hook on this racial grievance nonsense. She is “privilege” by all definitions except her skin color. Her griping does nothing for the millions of kids who are cheated of their lifetime opportunity in the effort to protect a broken, corrupt and inadequate school system.
If her lips were moving she was either performing fellatio or lying.
But if she started school at 5, it could fit.
lol
...”Democrats lie. It’s an accepted practice.”...
We sure see a lot of lying on the left, especially in the leftist media. However, unless something is done and quickly, social media will not allow that information to be transmitted to the people, most of whom are grossly uninformed, and, sadly, even more so in our educational institutions. Do you ever feel that so many people are drugged out and lost that they simply build fantasies to pretend that those are reality? The arrogance of some of these people running for President is astounding and pathological. It is frightening to think that any of them except the lady from HI would win.
go back to Canada camel A.
Yes, but inquiring minds want to know: Did Kamala get on her knees to service the esteemed Willie Brown in furtherance of her career? I got money that says she did. But she is not a suck and tell kind of girl. So we may never find out unless people start asking her in public.
All ComDems lie.
If they were to tell the truth, no one would ever elect them.
Far a Democrat, a lie and the truth are no different. Not at all.
Whatever works for their benefit at the moment, that’s what they’ll say. No conscience, no shame, no remorse.
They’re much like an emotionless, cold-blooded, professional assassin. It’s about money. When they DO show emotion, it’s just theatrics, with saline solution tears.
I know we are to love the sinner and hate the sin, but that is soooooo difficult to practice with Democrats...
That’s a new twist on an old phrase!
Neither has a chance to win the nomination. Biden won’t last through Summer and Kamala sounds like a bitter ex-wife.
She’s lying. Berkeley schools were integrated in the nineteen fifties. So were Oakland schools. As the region absorbed more black immigrants, the percentage of whites in Oakland, Richmond, El Cerrito and Alameda lessened dramatically given white flight to the growing suburbs in Alameda County. But there never was an purposeful intention undertaken by school boards to segregate the races.
Well done, irish juggler! I was about to believe Gateway Pundit’s high school photo was proof enough.
But your comment makes me believe Gateway Pundit is probably doing another yellow journalism story. Unfortunately, few will see your comment. Many on FR will see the high school photo, so that becomes the narrative.
Thank you for questioning the story with good reasons. I am strongly opposed to Kamela Harris, but this looks to be another fake news story from Gateway Pundit.
Horizontal Harris like cockeyed Cory were living the white privileged life it seems so all this hoo ha about them being the product of inequality and racism is all HORSE SH##
Vlad, real nice. Love the way you put that exchange into a meme. Very effective.
Just like the myth of the "Constitutional Scholar"
Don’t really care about this.
The REAL question is whether or not an anchor baby is even eligible to be the US President.
That poor little girl, raised in Berzerkly and white Canada!
