guys There was a lot of hubbub Over is Kamala Harris black is she Indian personally
0:44
I don't care and as Trump said he doesn't care The people who tried to make an issue out of it was the National Association of Black Journalists
0:51
It was a gotcha question. It was an ambush question It was set up to be that way and they got what they wanted a sound bite
0:58
That's all they wanted. They had no good intentions Trump had good intentions going there. They had no good intentions. There was people protesting outside
1:08
There was people in the in the National Association who didn't want him there. There was all kinds of hubbub
1:15
Over Trump being there because God forbid a Republican should try to reach out to black voters. How dare he
1:21
This is the mind of these liberal activists that masquerade as journalists
1:27
masquerade as journalists folks what I'm telling you is You know, it doesn't matter at the end of the day if she's black if she's Indian if she's white if she's Asian doesn't matter
1:41
Her character is the character of a Marxist as far as I'm concerned a communist
1:47
It's the policy. She's she's espoused her whole life so her skin color doesn't mean anything, but
1:54
The fake outrage over calling her an Indian Well, let's just say CNN
2:00
CNN didn't really help out when they profiled miss Harris and they highlighted her Indian heritage
2:09
Let's take a look at this My mother who raised me and my sister was a proud woman
2:18
She was a brown woman She was a woman with a heavy accent and her mother Sharmila Gopalan was also the biggest influence in Kamala Harris's life
2:31
After the big announcement Harris's sister wrote in a Twitter post You can't know who Kamala Harris is without knowing who our mother was in 1958 a precocious
2:42
19 year old Indian Gopalan traveled thousands of miles from her home and family to pursue a doctorate in nutrition and
2:51
Endocrinology in America. She soon became an active civil rights crusader while studying at UC Berkeley
2:57
But once you went there, she almost felt free And she took part in politics. She took in she used to bring whole series of literature leftist literature from God purpose
3:09
No In her book Harris says there is no title or honor on earth
3:16
I'll treasure more than to say I am Sharmila Gopalan Harris's daughter
3:21
Harris's visits to India with her mother kept her connected to her roots her grandfather who had strong views on humanitarian issues
3:29
Worked closely with officials to reallocate refugees Their conversations had a strong influence on her
3:37
Those walks along the beach in India really planted something in my mind and created a commitment in me
3:44
Before I even realized it. It has led me to where I am today Harris's maternal uncle Gopalan Balachandran who lives in Delhi tells us how the senator turns to a Amma
3:55
Which means mother in Tamil for guidance even after her death. I don't have to tell her make your mother proud
4:03
What are you telling me everything that I do I ask myself Would Amma approve of this Kamala in Hindi means lotus flower and is an important symbol in Indian culture
4:15
Rooted deep in the bottom of the river very similar to Harris's Indian identity, which she wears on her sleeve
4:25
There's no doubt that the primary source of learning for senator Harris was from a mother's
4:31
Experiences and the conversations that she had with a maternal grandfather when she visited India, which was very often
4:37
Accompanying her mother or when the grandparents would visit them in America back to you Rosemary
