“I only learned later that we were part of a national experiment in desegregation with working-class black children from the flatlands being bused in one direction and wealthier white children from the Berkeley hills bused in the other,” Harris writes in her new memoir “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.”
Then, after her time in Montreal because of her mother's job (1978-1981), she went to a historically Black college, Howard in D.C.
I don't know why we're talking about this other than Trump's pathetic attempt to unBlack her. It was sad and asinine.
He even said SHE doesn't respect Blacks. It was a humiliation. Neither of us like Harris, so we shouldn't care, anyway, but a lot of people were reminded why they don't like Trump.

“I’ve known [Harris] a long time indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump said. “
I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black. And now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
Loud groans and boos could be heard from the audience.
“She has always identified as a Black woman,” Scott corrected Trump.
“I respect either one,
but she obviously doesn’t,” he responded. “I think somebody should look into that.”
