Fact check: Was Kamala Harris really one of the first to integrate Berkeley schools?
Sacramento Bee ^ | June 28, 2019 | Bryan Anderson

California Sen. Kamala Harris got into a testy exchange with former Vice President Joe Biden at the first Democratic presidential debate on Thursday over racial issues.

“You know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bussed to school every day and that little girl was me,” Harris told Biden.

Data from the Berkeley Unified School District shows the school had 15 black students in 1963 — a year before Harris was born.


So the school that the "little girl" supposedly integrated had a black percentage student body makeup a year before she was born. When Kamala arrived the student body was 37% black.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

When will she stop lying?

She is just another little liar

Shades of our first black president, Bill Clinton...
June 8 1996: "I have vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child."

NOT ONE black church burned in Arkansas when he was growing up.

All Democrats are congenital liars. They just cannot help themselves.

Like the Farmer’s Insurance museum TV ads there should be one for Dem myths and lies:

Native American Elizabeth Warren sitting on the mesa at night looking upward to the stars and communing with her ancestors.

The gutsy, courageous little girl Kamala Harris china held high passing jeering detractors as she integrates a school by bussing, inspiring Dr. Martin Luther King to sacrifice all using her as his role model.

Good old average lunchbucket guy Joe Biden deciding to lead his beloved country out of the mire of Trumpism.

The Dems at home believed all this stuff.

The Sacramento Bee is looking into this?

Is the Bee a liberal paper?

If so, what does it say about Harris being a favorite, if liberal papers will do fact checking on her?

I won’t hold my breath waiting for a politician to accuse her of lying.

That's because busing started the year before she arrived, right?

She was named after Sir Edmund Kamala, who climbed Mt. Vesuvius when she was nine.

They want to create an impression that she was in a group like the Little Rock 9, who were escorted to school by federal troops. They want us to think she was a brave little girl, running a gauntlet of angry white mobs to get to school.

Speaking of the Little Rock 9, an “evil Republican” president, Eisenhower, sent federal troops to Little Rock, to carry out desegregation orders being resisted by good Democrat governor Orval Faubaus(sp?).

How many people know that it was Democrats in the south, who resisted school integration? Many of us here do, but among young people today especially, how many know that history of the Democrat party?

Those schools weren’t segregated in the first place.

If she wants credit for being an 8 year old civil rights activist, does that mean that the argument about DACA illegals being children who aren't responsible for their parents bringing them here is bogus also? Watch where you are walking, girl; don't step in the kamala
