Kamala Harris has been spot on with her questions every time; pointed, in-depth and revealing.
Look at that mean black woman picking on that old, southern gentleman.

In reply to Runs
She's top class.
The Senator frombNM Martin Heinrich is a non-nonsense guy as well..
He pounded Coates and Rogers last week and continued to hammer Sessions today
In reply to Runs
It is the second time, I've seen her, very competent
In reply to openning
Her dad is Jamaican - the great Donn Harris and her mum (deceased) was from India - she literally grew up on Stanford's Palo Alto campus.
In reply to Runs
No brother she is the daughter of an Indian immigrant and a Jamaican immigrant the Jamaican an economics professor at Stanford, the mother a research scientist ---- that is one hell of a combination the dealing with the pedigree dont come any better
here
In reply to Runs
I cited that since the first hearing .
She was the Chief State Prosecutor in
California ; and this is her first year as one of the 2 Senators from California .
My only regret is that being the Junior Senator , her turn to ask Questions is after those who have seniority over her .
Remarkably , when she gets her turn to ask Questions ; she always ask
Questions that have not been asked ,
and they are always straight to the
point , no pun intended .
The Chairman always has to come to the Rescue of those she is questioning .
Her parents divorced when she was 7 and her mother raised her and her sister..
Chrissy,don't overplay the role of her father..Kamala was close to her maternal grandfather, who was a diplomat..
In reply to Khaga
In reply to birdseye
Kamala's mother Shyamala ,was a breast cancer researcher ,raised both her daughters and had hugeeee influence..
No amount of father's credentials will dispute those facts..
In reply to Khaga
Just like these guys will claim obama s Kenyan roots.
Damn, she was living in Montreal for a while and I missed her.
Oh so she ah dougla den! Go Kamala,her first name always stood out for me but thought it was just an adventure by her US parents,but it's authentic stuff ...
In America she is Black.

'Whatever Kamala is today, it is because of my sister.'
'My sister inculcated South Indian culture and values in her,' Dr Sarala Gopalan, US Senator-elect Kamala Harris' aunt, tells Rediff.com's Shobha Warrier in Chennai.

I watched all the hearings if the Senate Intelligence Committee in the last week.
As good as Senator Harris was ,given her legal background, she wasn't giving e oigh chance for the witnesses to answer or she was wrapped in her own questions.
Angus King and Martin Heinrich were stronger in pinning the witnesses down.
Our black men here conveniently drop over over Senator Harris because if her Jamaican lineage..
In reply to gvenkat
A slap in the face for bravoskunt
In reply to Khaga
I don't think she was the first, Carol Moseley Braun also served in the Senate.
In reply to black
First what?
In reply to gvenkat
We have the idli,sambar version..time for the yam and jerk version..
In reply to Khaga
I am responding to this quote, not sure if it came from you.
In reply to black
I made no claim..it was a reference..she is certainly the first Senator of Indian or origin..definitely first woman Senator of Indian origin..
In reply to Khaga
The quote also made reference to the first black woman.
In reply to Khaga
I agree but to be fair Sessions tried to obfuscate and run out the clock. The media has not acknowledged her as well I wonder why? hmm
In reply to Runs
weak men cannot handle a strong woman! they use bullying tactics to railroad her
In reply to googley
True, I also noticed the media heaped praise on the male senators
In reply to Khaga
She considers herself to be a black woman.
Mika Brzezinski calls it "pathetic" that "a lot of rude, white, older men" are so afraid of letting Sen. Kamala Harris speak
In reply to Runs
Plenty of Harris' questioning shown on MSNBC..
Let me says this emphatically here and now.. Kamala will not receive the same level of passionate support on this MB as Barrack did..
In reply to Khaga
If she ran for President, she will.
In reply to black
It is not the same,bannuh..different calculus..watch di ride..
In reply to Khaga
Why not? Several people here have written good things about her before this discussion.
She 'look' pretty Jamaican to me. Yes, pun intended. Name sounds Yardie too
Kam goes to JAM or IND. Ah wonder where would make her feel more at home.
Yep...
Yardie dat.
In reply to JahJah
Obama was half white.
In reply to nitro
Still is, but he is seen as Black.

In reply to JahJah
In reply to birdseye
Tiger Woods is a good example, he can deny his blackness all he wants but he will still be seen as Black.
In reply to black
Kind of irony to see Khanga fighting over the essence of a black woman --- means ther may be hope for him yet
In reply to birdseye
From the mouth of Kamala Harris, the female Barack Obama.
Let Khaga fight over dat.
In reply to JahJah
Semi-Indian roots yes, but Yardie temperament and resilience clear as day...
And, don't let them forget --- it have Indians in the Yard too.

In reply to ProWI
I was just thinking that here is a young woman with the kind of parentage that would have allowed to have gone to almost any other school, yet chose Howard hardly a bastion for Indo education I might add yet chose Howard ---- there was an article in the new York Times magazine many years ago reporting on young black scholars, particularly female, who chose to go to predominantly black colleges for their undergraduate degrees, principally because of social dynamics in their developing years, and then use the more prestigious Universities as their burnishing tools
Kamala seem to fit that mold
In reply to Khaga
Remain clueless
Look, this woman could have been raised by Martians, her experiences in America would still be that of a Black person.
In reply to birdseye
Her sister is Maya Harris, another powerful lawyer and political activist. She is married to Tony West, Associate Attorney General of the United States. An all-round very powerful and multi-cultural family.
Howard is a damn good University, we have some MB scholars on here
QC men too la creme de la creme

Her parents, Shyamala Gopalan and Donald J. Harris, met as graduate students at UC Berkeley. They divorced when Harris was 5.
"My Indian mother knew she was raising two black daughters," said Harris, whose birth in 1964 came two weeks before Californians voted to allow racial discrimination in housing. "But that's not to the exclusion of who I am in terms of my Indian heritage."
Steeped in Indian culture, Harris and her sister, Maya, now a civil rights lawyer and senior policy advisor to Hillary Rodham Clinton, visited family in Madras on occasion. Harris remembers Aretha Franklin's gospel rendition of "Young, Gifted and Black" as a soundtrack of her youth in a black middle-class neighborhood in the flats of Berkeley. Her parents often joined civil rights protests.
"I grew up going to a black Baptist Church and a Hindu temple," Harris recalled as she sipped an iced soy latte at a Berkeley coffee house.
Harris spent her high-school years in Montreal, where her mother worked as a breast cancer researcher at a McGill University hospital. After Howard University, Harris got her law degree at UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
On weekends, the girls would visit their father in Palo Alto, where he was an economics professor at Stanford University.

Do you realize how Nazi that sounds?
My dad attended Howard and then Georgetown University. As far as I know, he is not black.
In reply to Khaga
Barack is half white. Blacks claim you as their own whether you're half, 25%, 15%, 5%, 2.5%, 0.5%.
I love di ignorance on display here. My good friends used to babysit Kamala every weekend back in dem Stanford days - all four of dem (two couples) are Yardies.
Kamala was brought up in both cultures and in black America.
In reply to Devin
We didn't set the rules in America, that was the "White man's" doing. In most cases, separation of the races was done by force, that's were the "one drop rule" came from.
Love the name dropping, it is a West Indian thing fuh big up oneself
In reply to Runs
My mother's uncles went to Howard and Tuskegee respectively - you should see them. They considered themselves black by the American definition. Her father also went to Howard but he was Afro-Bajan.
In reply to Chrissy
Nice, I had a co worker that went to school with your brother and worked with him think was at McKinsey spoke highly of him she is afro-chinese Jamaican. She said he was passionate about Guyana and promised to take her to Kaieteur Falls
In reply to Chrissy
Afro-Bajan?
So if you are black and from Nigeria you are Afro-Nigerian?
Obama is Afro-Caucasion American?
In reply to nitro
So if you are black and from Nigeria you are Afro-Nigerian?
oh fack
If someone is from South Africa, They are Afro-Black-South African?
In reply to gvenkat
No Africa is an African continent - it is you minorities in Africa that add your mother country. Just like India, we assume you're Indian.
Of course you racists believe that Africa has no nationality but Africa is a Continent with majority black African people.
And yes my maternal grandfather was Afro-Bajan - a great looking black man.
In reply to nitro
Please to KYS.
What is the big deal? Afto-Bajan or Afro-Guyanese are only meant to identify ethnic origin.
In reply to Chrissy
Oh the irony. Pot calling kettle black
In reply to DAVE400
Barack is half white. Blacks claim you as their own whether you're half, 25%, 15%, 5%, 2.5%, 0.5%.
thats until some shit happens....then you are the "other half"
In reply to googley
In reply to gvenkat
So there can't be a white man from Nigeria or a black person from India?
In reply to Devin
The social construct for blackness is not something black people created. They primarily accepted it for their psychological well- being. Some who fail to do that suffer the debilitating consequences.
In reply to ProWI
Do you know why Indo-West Indians went to Howard and other African-American colleges?
In reply to ProWI
Harris was AKA at HU and a leader in political activities on campus.
how true is this?

Where you got that from bro? Who is that nasal narrator?
In reply to Runs
I think it is electronic or?
In reply to birdseye
awareness breeds change...
The Nazis have always advocated genetics in their claims of superiority...be careful when throwing out those references.
This thread is stupid by the way.
In reply to DAVE400
What is stupid about acknowledging a very good black woman Senator?
In reply to Runs
Issue is she ain't black you dumb truck driver. she is indo black american.
In reply to gvenkat
You are not qualified to define blackness
The ability to define a dumb truck driver is clearly within your remit however.
Now when it comes to the definitive qualification for asinine posters ,currently along with Courtesy...you are ticking all the right boxes.
I have excluded Devin... the poison Dwarf is in a separate category , one that Sammy and his supporters however would instantly recognise and they would gladly claim him as one of their own
In reply to Runs
Nothing wrong with that...
What is stupid is the battle to claim afro v Indianness as the superior influence on her competencies.
In reply to googley
Like when? Name the instances! Not in Tiger's case. Black people laughed and said "Welcome to the club. If you didn't think you're black before, you certainly know now!"
But we can say it applies to cases like Ben Johnson who suddenly became Jamaican-born. Same too Don Bailey when he was found hitting 200km/p in his Porsche on the Gardiner. Before they were simply Canadian.
You couldn't be a black West Indian to even believe the shyte you wrote.

In reply to ponderiver
I'm actually elated to be bracketed along with Courtesy. He is one of the intelligent posters around. When it comes to asinine posters, Don't go far. look around and you will see asses like Cleg, GayGay from your land of birth and Dumb trucks like NineMiles from your adopted land and oh, starting with you and ninemiles.
Now it has degenerated to who started it...lol...
In reply to gayvenkat
look at you calling people gay.
wonders never cease.
I see people from Guyana and that normally advocate racial purity fighting to claim a woman, who for the most part has leaned more to the black side of her heritage.
In reply to DAVE400
hey since u asked. I had to present the facts.
