When Vice President Kamala Harris repeated on Oct. 15 that she thinks the idea of racial “reparations” should be studied further, she evinced a radicalism she just can’t hide.
Radical leftism is Harris’s milieu. It is what she came from. It is what she has practiced. It is her guiding light. Her parents were members of the University of California, Berkeley’s Afro-American Association, which was a key forerunner of the radical Black Panther Party and which, as one sympathetic account bragged, was “inspired by the revolutionary rhetoric of Malcolm X.” After her parents divorced, most of the people who helped her mother raise her were from that organization. Her father, Donald Harris, was described (admiringly!) by the Stanford Daily as a “radical prof” and a “Marxian economist.”
