I want to ask a bigger picture question here tonight why do you believe it's appropriate to weigh in on the racial identity of your opponent I don't and I don't care I don't care what she is I don't care uh you make a big deal out of something I couldn't care less whatever she wants to be is okay with me I stand before you as the first candidate for vice president of the United States of South Asian descent when my mother shamala stepped off the plane in California at 19 years old she didn't have much in the way of belongings sir do you believe that vice president KLA Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman well I can say no I think it's maybe a little bit different so uh I've known her a long time indirectly not directly very much and she was always of Indian Heritage and she was only promoting Indian Heritage 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 but those were your words so I'm asking I don't know I don't know I mean all I can say is I read where she was not black that she put out and I'll say that and then I read that she was black and that's okay either one was okay with me that's up to her that's up to her kamla Harris has both black and Indian Heritage her mother is from India and Jamaican ancestry from her father's side her race is being used to win votes and alarmingly being used to divide America the question about her race was heavily weighted and used in order to tear down political opponent Donald Trump but more importantly should never have made its way into the presidential debate it's pretty clear who's making the big deal about race if you like this audio shorts don't forget to like And subscribe also feel free to drop a comment on other topics worth exploring
