In the debate, kamala Harris spoke with pain of the experience of having white parents chase the white children playing with her home. I alsoremember, as a :white: child, having a Black father chase Black boys home, saying (probably correctly) that if I got hurt, the Black boys would be blamed.
What Harris does not seem to understand is that we all -- black and white -- are damaged and retarded by racism. The entire south is a backward region because racism has limited its cultural, intellectual, moral, and economic development. I say this as a southern native son.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Although the American south is a natural focal point for such attitudes, I've found no where in the world(and certainly in all of the US), immune to this condition...

I agree...you will find pockets of everything in just about every state...some are worse than others but it still exists...at least in the South, they don't pretend as much as they do in other parts of the country...you can stay far away from people that you don't care for...
Harris must move way beyond stories of racism if she is to win this screwball selecion process - it is an apalling job interview system

My father was a Southern but I never knew what that meant since we lived all over the place...My first black friend was when I was in Germany, age 5...I don't ever remember any year after that when I did not have a mix of friends...It shocked me to come to the USA for the first time as a teenager to find out my experience was not the same as others...I still can't understand it...
