Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
Senator Kamala Harris is now number two after Joe Biden in the race for the Democrat nomination for president.
And by the way, Kamala Harris is not to be confused with Kamala Harris, who was a professional wrestler who called himself the Ugandan Giant and retired in 2010.
It looks like the old giant is running for president himself.
But don't expect to see him in any debates.
Kamala Harris broke out of the pack during the second Democrat debate when she attacked Joe Biden on busing.
I do not believe you are a racist.
And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.
But I also believe, and it's personal, and I was actually very, it was hurtful.
To hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.
And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools.
And she was bused to school every day.
And that little girl was me.
That's the haymaker that sent Uncle Joe to the campus.
She looked like she was about to choke up.
You know, it doesn't matter that after some initial enthusiasm for it, not even blacks wanted busing.
No one, and I mean no one, not even the most excitable blacks or the looniest whites is calling for busing today.
It's widely recognized as a hugely disruptive, expensive failure.
You could say Mr. Biden was ahead of his time by fighting it in the 1970s.
But if you're not white and you can use race to flummox a powerful white man, you become the current darling.
Well, Kamala was certainly playing the victim with her I was that little girl line.
But as far as I can tell...
She's never been a victim of anything but her own ambition.
She got her start in California politics by becoming the mistress of San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who appointed her to two high-paying, unelected state commission jobs.
During the debate with Mr. Biden, she could have said there once was an ambitious 29-year-old who got her start in politics by dating her 60-year-old boss.
I was that 29-year-old.
And a lot of black people don't think Kamala Harris is really black.
This is a picture of her parents, both immigrants to the United States.
Her mother is 100% Indian, and her father is a light-skinned Jamaican.
Her father, Donald J. Harris, has written in Reflections of a Jamaican Father that the family is descended from wealthy Jamaican planters who owned slaves.
A 2004 Los Angeles Times article wrote this about Kamala's childhood.
She was a privileged child of foreign graduate students whose academic pursuits led them to UC Berkeley.
But, as we all know, it's irresistibly stylish to claim to be an oppressed minority.
Senator Elizabeth Warren pretended to be an Indian, and now that she's running for president, Kamala Harris is pretending to be oppressed.
Well, black people have other reasons to be skeptical.
She's married to a Jewish lawyer and is raising two white stepchildren by her husband's former marriage.
They call her Mamala.
Isn't that sweet?
There is a new movement called American Descendants of Slaves.
Hashtag ADOS that thinks Kamala is a fraud.
ADOS is for every kind of handout for blacks, of course.
They call it a new deal for black America, but they don't want people like her cashing in.
As the ADOS founders explain, black Americans from immigrant families, even places like Jamaica, with a history of slavery under Spanish and British rule, do not have the same claim.
On its website, ADOS says it wants two new census categories: American descendants of slaves and black immigrants.
When the spoils are divvied up, they don't want black immigrants getting a dime.
Well, maybe ADOS should just wait and see.
Kamala has got big plans for black people.
Reparations? Of course she would look into them.
And she has just proposed a $100 billion giveaway exclusively for blacks.
She wants to close what she calls the racial wealth gap by paying up to $25,000 in down payments on houses, but only for blacks.
If I were an American Indian, if I were Elizabeth Warren, I'd go on the warpath over that.
From immigration to socialized medicine.
To women's rights, to gun control, to a $15 an hour minimum wage, Senator Harris never heard a lefty idea she didn't like.
But she is not all peace and love.
Early this year, Politico ran an article about her campaign style.
The title?
Ruthless! How Kamala Harris Won Her First Race.
Make no mistake about it.
This child of privilege who poses as one of the oppressed, this descendant of slaveholders who's black when it suits her, this champion of women's rights who got her start by sleeping with a man twice her age, this woman is serious about being president.
And you know what?
We are now the kind of country in which she could be elected.
As H.L. Mencken famously said, democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want.
