Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden named Kamala Harris as his vice presidential pick, making the California senator the first Black and South Asian American woman to run on a major political party's presidential ticket. Harris was raised by her Indian mother. CNN's Vedika Sud speaks to her extended family in India.

How Kamala Harris’ Indian roots shaped her political views
Can someone let me know when we’re gonna start talking about her policies and records as an AG and congressperson? Thanks.
TC That isn’t always a good thing though. Powerful and intelligent doesn’t necessarily mean kind
Zhong Yi Congress refers to both the senate and the House of Representatives
Where have you been? Did you just get involved in politics and the governance of this vountry?
She just excepted the VP nomination . Slow down it’s a process . Wait until the circus comes to town next week with D🤡Nald Chump and VP Dunce . Have the popcorn ready
Rosie The majority of her counties when she was a DA were minority counties 🤔 . Now the DNA I heard that so I’ll say allegedly didn’t want to have it done . ALL politicians have dirt . From Washington to Chump and everyone in between .
Obsessed with race
@Chris Durk i agree that we all have a lot to learn as there is no such thing as being absolutely intelligent. And I am still figuring out a lot of things as I hope you are still in the pursuit of knowledge. But I will not stand silent when people deny obvious truths. That it is ok for someone from a minority group to speak about their background because for many decades, and recent years, they were denied the possibility of reaching power. We will never agree because on our points of view and therefore I find it pointless that we continue on this argument furthermore.
@Sam the Stark do you think there is a slight tiny possibility she nay be taking advantage of her ethnicity by talking about it over and over again? Whwre realistically it doesnt matter?
Thanks for responding
Leftists are racists, it’s one of the ways they can divide and pander.
Most South East Asians will not vote for the Democrats
No: obsessed with Racism.
as an indian I am tired of people giving so much attention to skin color over intelligence these days. With that said I am not judging kamala I dont know anything about her. Obama did nothing for nobel prize but Dr. Martin Luther king did.
AllPeople (AP) Gifts – Black American title is more acceptable to me because any African person can be an African American. Even white South Africans.
Challenge Fail I As an Indian I like to say India’s true enemy is lack of toilets and people trained to use them.
twaght hammer – Correct!!! Pooping in the streets is unacceptable!!!
@Rob Hugs
No — what you have stated in NOT accurate.
As I tried to make clear in my earlier post …
^^ Black American is a RACE group.
^^ African-American is an ETHNIC group
that is found WITHIN the Black RACE group
(and is one of MANY of the ETHNIC groups
found within the Black RACE group).
The terms of “Black American” and of
“African-American” — are NOT synonyms
— NOR are they referring to the same
group of people — NOR should
they be used interchangeably.
And … it is NOT true that “any African
person can be an African American”.
The term of “African American” was
created in the late 1800s in the U.S.
specifically for ONE very unique
historical group of people.
Please go back and re-read my post.
.
@TheDigitalKing82 Yup!
Who cares about skin color, background or gender?!
Show me what you did and what you plan to do, so far I’ve seen nothing.
Apparently to Joe Biden and the Democrat party race and gender are the only thing that matters. They picked a VP based on race and sex. That means they excluded other qualified people based on those same discriminatory standards.
Democrats and other racists, that’s who.
MLK said, judge me by the content of my character, not by the color of my skin. BLM, Antifa, and the Democrats no longer agree.
Absolutely nothing but taking rehearsed interviews and dodging questions. I sincerely wish this network would look at other people’s views.
What does she plan on doing for the American people? Forced them to pay for illegal immigrants healthcare, education, and housing. Isn’t that just dandy?!!!!
Wasn’t MLK’s Dream to see people chosen for the content of their character and not the color of their skin?
She is chosen for her character. Biden didn’t pick her for being Indian or Black. She’s a smart and tough woman
davemadson Hitler lost
She has dilution in both. Watch her debate with tulsi
As an Indian I hate Kamala Harris and so does millions of my fellow Indians. She is though from my neighbouring State, Tamil Nadu, India. Her mother is born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India and her Dad is a Jamaican. She supports Pakistan and has no loyalty whatsoever to Indians. All she cares from the American Indians are the Votes this November. GRAVITAS, Our Indian News Channel Link is below for all American Indians to listen.
WE ALL HATE HER AND CONSIDER HER A BULLY. WE CERTAINLY SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP WHOLE HEARTEDLY.

@Danu’s Dragonfly yet yall hate whites for owning slaves. Her family owned slaves https://www.jamaicaglobalonline.com/kamala-harris-jamaican-heritage/
Notice how they conveniently left out the part where she had an affair with the San Francisco mayor and he gave her a job, promoted her, and funded her campaign.. just some minor details the left out about this hard working woman 😂😂😂
@kenneth Iyamu right. You’ve never attacked trumps character I’m sure.
@Ben Johnson i don’t care what kamala did in her past. I just think for democrats, who act like they’re high and mighty and the moral compass for the world, look foolish defending her character. Hypocrites.
@Twisted Face 113 This happens on both ends…again it is a human problem. There are evangelicals that support the President even though he has questional morals. Humans in general are hypocritical.
@Ben Johnson right but the evangelical support is small. The majority of trump supporters don’t care for identity politics, pc culture and cancel culture. Thats why we support him. The left overwhelmingly supports those 3 ideologies so its way more hypocritical for liberals to accept kamala than it is for conservatives to accept trump. 🤷🏾♂️
@Twisted Face 113 But that’s the problem. Both sides see each other as the enemy, when that is truly not the case. The right sees the left as the enemy and the left sees the right as the enemy. I am speaking of the people. The right and the left (the ones in power) are all buddies.
hi everyone, India stands against the Chinese Communist Party, Biden and Harris don’t.
Pri K Secondly you absolutely don’t know what is The socialism and the capitalism,Maybe you haven’t read das captain which was written by Marx too,I recommend you to read the books about socialism And The pattern of economic,And then you can talk with me
No one’s running for the President nor Vice-President of India, so what’s your point?
This is true. CNN is a clown network. Free China!
@li change eat bat and chill don’t vomit here
@David Stone Yeah and? You took the surname of the plantation owner that bought you.
“I believe Biden’s accusers!” – Kamala Harris 2019

SUCH A TWO-FACED PHONY.
@Matt Hey school boy, you might be good at gaming in mommy’s basement but like most of your generation, you fail at basic reading comprehension. You don’t even know how to use a pen. Lol. Try reading the entire article. That was my POINT about the troll, his fake comment, and distortion of the entire article. Comprende? You silly trolling righties extract and cherry pick bits and pieces of articles. Nice try. Here you go school boy. Let me help you:
As the article suggests, Biden has a very good civil rights history (fair housing, employment and voting rights, lending and credit equality etc) and he happened to believe that the busing METHOD was not the best way to integrate. He stands by his decision today! Unlike Trump who flip flops 100 times! Read the whole article punk! His OPINION is one which most agree with today. Busing did not create equal opportunity. There were also black activists who also opposed the busing in 1975! Oh, since you are a little dummy righty, you might note in the article that the amendment was passed with a majority of democrats AND republicans and co sponsored by two republicans! This professor named Johnson is giving his opinion. It’s an opinion, NOT fact.
Those are the facts punk! So when you dumb righties try to suggest that Biden is a racist by distorting an article you fail! Obama who is bi racial picked him for VP based on his record which includes a good civil rights record!
If punk trolls want to go back to the 70s, go back to 1973 when Donny and daddy were SUED by the JUSTICE DEPT for HOUSING DISCRIMINATION against BLACKS. They were coding applications with “c” for colored in order not to rent to blacks. The evidence was overwhelming.
So take a hike you silly punk and YOU come back when you have facts and can present an argument.
@Florent N Hey troll girl/boy. Refer to my comment to little boy zoomer Matt. Come back with an argument and fact punk.
She’s more Indian she’s like 25% black but she wants to be black!!!!
@Everybodysucks Exceptme14 she isn’t even 25% black. Her father is like 40% black at best, which would make her around 15-20% black.
Coming from you, that should really get her attention; right?
CNN has really gone downhill since 2000’s
CNN has always been like this. The blindfold was just removed from your eyes.
I remember CNN in the early 2000s… All they reported on were pretty missing white women, pretty murderous white women, missing white children, celebrity deaths and occasional hurricanes and downed airplanes. That was it. No blacks were killed or went missing at all in the early 2000s if you were warching CNN. Ever since Trayvon Martin they have stepped up their racial politics again, like they were in the mid nineties after O.J., Rodney King and the L.A. riots. CNN likes to dial it up and dial it down as it suits them. They aren’t touching this Cannon Hinnant story with a 10 foot pole today but they’d likely be all over it in the early 2000s.
CNN hasn’t been credible since Operation Desert Storm in 1990-1991
CNN was never a source for Truth. — akpress.org & alternet.org & counterpunch.org
Her dad is half WHITE (Irish in fact), and descendants owned slaves. Dems are the ones who have always been racist and wanted slavery.
So we have all the mayhem against Confederacy/slaves/Founders bc they owned slaves, etc. but I’m sure somehow Kamala gets a total pass bc she’s on the ticket to vote for to get rid of Trump. Oh……..
@Solana Price yeah lol
Young Goodman Brown It’s just an estimate.
@Solana Price Well, considering the fact that most people in the United States are descendants of people who immigrated here long after slavery was abolished, along with the fact that according to the 1860 census only about 1.4% of that population even owned slaves, I’d say it’s a pretty fucking bad one! Maybe you could look something up before spouting out some stupid racist bullshit?
Young Goodman Brown Where did they come from? Slavery and colonization aren’t exclusive to the U.S…..immigrants can also be descendants of slave owners and such
Hmmmm for years she’s been talking about being an African American , now it’s all about her Indian roots….
She as never been an African American her parents are immigrants shes a woman of color not a black woman.
@Eidorian actually her father roots messed her up . Her father roots is also from a white jamaican slave owner . Shes basically south Asian white and black .
She is not ADOS . . . . — ados101.com
Bingo! And isn’t her father’s side have a history of owning Blacks?
Is that why Non-Africans are always inviting themselves to Africa? Millennium after millennium? Pillaging that continent? — #ScrambleforAfrica & #austeritymeasures & #structuraladjustments
They left out her slave owner great grandfather and the fact that her own family disowned her for being dishonest about her culture
Google this info its public information
Ok give me a specific word which i should google
What does the person’s ethnicity and family background have to do with their ability to do their job?
Yes it may add credibility and a connection with diverse individuals, but the question is. When in office will they actually do more than enough to help the people, or will they side on the best interest of the Federal Reserve to keep the economy going and keep the wealthy wealthy?
@MaL: C and why are you carrying water for the illuminati Cabal Satanic Elites?
lulu speers Never heard of them. Probably, all part of a big conspiracy theory. Harris, was never my first pick. But who, am I to judge? Biden’s record show 47yrs in public office; 8 years as a VP to Obama. So if anyone is more qualified to appoint a VP, I think Biden is. She brings to the table, her coloured background, experience, strength and energy! I believe she’s a positive addition to the Biden office and Demos.
@MaL: C that’s the most ridiculous ignorant thing to say ! She protected pedophile priests from being charged for child rape. Had the reporters who exposed Planned Parenthood for selling aborted baby body parts to the highest bidder. And jailed pot smoking parents and left their children vulnerable to be trafficked by the CPA. I hope the rest of the world isn’t as brain dead as you!
lulu speers Go spew your venom with your kind. And troll somewhere else. Don’t waste my time with your idiotic comments! I don’t dialogue with LIARS AND FAKE CONSPIRATORS!!
U the one who sounds hurt
Funny how she only brings up her Indian heritage when it suits her politically
She identifies as a Black woman.
I don’t think she considers herself an Indian woman.
Siddhartha Gautama she only recently identified herself as black. It’s obvious even from this video she never had a real Black American identity. Never lived through the culture and the struggle of being an African American. She’s a trash person and will curse her own mother to win and get ahead.
@Maurice R I wish the blacks will consider her record before voting Dem.
@Maurice R
That’s not true at all.
She only identifies as Black and recently has been expanding and leaning into her Indian heritage.
She lived in America and not India, so I don’t where you got she didn’t live through the struggles.
She has never cursed her mother from my knowledge.
I have no problems with her other than…she is not Indian. She is a Black person and a Christian which makes her more Black.
@Maurice R
No she always identified as Black.
She lived in a Black area of the city,
Her dad is Black.
Her whole identity seems to be Black.
Now if she denied her Black identity, Black people would be mad at her.
What makes her more Black is her Black dad and her mom got divorced.
If she was 100% Indian, her parents would not be divorced.

I’m a minority and I don’t care about the candidates skin color
or heritage I just want someone who cares about the people
@Mark Me It means just a dribble
@GreanJeen R If Trump if for blacks why no Corona compensation for the people at the bottom of the barrel. Why doesn’t he take them off the front lines? Provide secure, affordable housing? I won’t hold my breath.
– Obama created 3 million jobs for African Americans.
– Obama dropped black unemployment from a recession high of 16.8% to 7.8%.
– Obama revitalised the Civil Rights division of the DOJ which was dormant under Bush.
– Trump’s Justice Department has sought to unwind consent decrees aimed at reining in police who apply unequal treatment to African Americans.
– Obama’s Justice Department, by contrast, worked to implement a number of those consent decrees. In 2010, Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act, reducing the sentencing disparity for crack and powder-cocaine crimes that, he said “disproportionately filled our prisons with young black and Latino drug users.”
– Obama signed legislation funding a billion-dollar settlement between the Agriculture Department and African American farmers, resolving a case that had languished for years.
– Obama’s White House brought in and developed a cadre of black political talent. Trump delegated black outreach to Omarosa Manigault Newman, a reality-TV personality who now calls Trump a racist and says the rumored n-word tape really exists.
– 20% of the judges appointed by Obama were African American, compared with 3% of Trump’s.
– Obama implemented HUD policies that allowed black people to go to better schools and move to better neighborhoods. Trump rolled back these policies.
– Obama cut the number of uninsured black people by 1/3. Trump is in court right now trying to take healthcare away from 30 million Americans.
– Obama launched My Brother’s Keeper.
– Black owned businesses and black home ownership went up under Obama.
– Obama commuted the sentences of 1200 African Americans and Latinos.
– Under Obama black poverty decreased from 24.2% to 18%.
– One of Obama’s biggest feats was helping rescue the nation’s auto industry. His efforts helped save roughly 1 million jobs and kept thousands of suppliers from tumbling – including some of the nation’s largest black businesses.
– The racial wealth gap is now worsening under Trump and his administration has done nothing to specifically address this challenge.
Gerry De naro she’s an American citizen dummy she’s not on a visa. Stop trying to prove her racial identity.
@rolback LOL
What about a candidate that supports a system that plays favorites based upon Racism?
She’s pretending to care about justice she’s anything but she wanted to kill an innocent man on death row scary
Wendy Regis But she also saved a black man from being put to death for killing a white police officer. She was against the death penalty.
Wendy Regis Trump’s pretending to care about justice. He’s anything but he called for the death penalty — BEFORE THERE HAD EVEN BEEN A TRIAL(!) — for the Central Park Five kids who were later completely exonerated for the crime. An adult unrelated to any of them had committed the crime. TRUMP IS A RACIST FRAUD.
@K C you’re right 👍
@Blessing John Chelliah she blocked DNA evidence that proved african americsn man was innocent ,let him suffer for years knowing he was innocent she should be put in jail
All of a sudden she’s mentioned her indian background , only for indians living in america votes.
