Thats what I heard.
Thats what I was told.
I mean, I havent watched the news in a few days, Jackson responded.
I was told that they discovered her father was white.
That is, of course, false.
Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, was born in Chennai, India, and died in 2009.
Harris parents divorced in 1971.
Ive known her a long time indirectly,Trump saidduring an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists.
She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
I didnt know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black.
The Guardianalso asked Jackson if she believed America was ready for Harris.
Honestly, I dont want to answer that because I really, truthfully, dont know.
I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem, Jackson said.
