9 Things You Should Know About Vice President Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris was on her 2019 memoir promotion tour when she joked around with radio host Charlamagne the God, the future vice president cheekily answering his question about whether she’d ever used marijuana. “Half my family’s from Jamaica,” she said. “Are you kidding me?”. The man...

Kamala Harris has been riding a
high of Democratic enthusiasm since taking over for President Biden as the
party’s presidential nominee. But as the vice president—and we all—falls back to
earth, and all eyes turn to next week’s Democratic convention, here comes the
hard part: putting forth a clear vision for America, and crafting the policies
that will get us there. Last week, she took her first
steps in that direction—and they were rather timid. At a rally in Las Vegas on
August 10, Harris called for eliminating taxes on tips for service and
hospitality workers and increasing the federal minimum wage. Her Republican
opponent, Donald Trump, has already...

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Speaking last week at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention, Donald Trump baselessly questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity.“I didn’t know she was Black,” he claimed, “until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know. Is she Indian or is she Black?”That’s ridiculous. Kamala Harris has always been Black. She has always been clear about her racial identity in a country that sees any person who is part-Black as Black. But of course, Donald Trump doesn’t get this because he’s never...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart.

“In the modern imagination,” Professor Lewis Gordon wrote in 2023, paraphrasing philosopher Frantz Fanon, “reason takes flight whenever the Black enters the scene.” Indeed, from the moment the Democratic Party coalesced around Vice President Kamala Harris as its nominee, ushering in the prospect of America’s first Black Madam President, reason has taken flight.“Apparently, they feel, or a lot of Democrats feel, they have to stick with her because of her ethnic background,” Republican Representative Glenn Grothman said on the day President Biden ended his reelection campaign. Two of his House GOP colleagues, Tim Burchett and Harriett Hageman, both denigrated Harris...
