Speaking to an African-American fraternity's annual conference Saturday, Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris warned that Russia is seeking to divide Americans along racial lines.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — Sen. Kamala Harris told one of the nation’s largest African-American male fraternities Saturday that the issue of race and racism is “America’s Achilles heel” and that Russia will try to exploit this weakness.

Harris spoke to a gathering of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity’s international leadership conference inside a ballroom at the Harrah’s casino. Benjamin Crump, a civil rights attorney, introduced Harris as a “trailblazer” who is on a “historic journey” to become “the first woman of color to be president.”

Harris did not elaborate Saturday on what she or others should do to combat racial division. Her speech here reflected her larger campaign strategy of defending her career as a prosecutor —a job sometimes viewed skeptically by some in minority communities distrustful of the criminal justice system — and laying out her arguments against President Trump.

During Harris’ speech, Dookie said, she turned to her husband and his friends and asked them, “Can you see a woman as president?” They didn’t respond in the moment, she said, but she said she worries that some men will hesitate to support Harris because she is a woman. “At best they found it a curious decision, and with some of them I had to defend this decision like I would a thesis,” Harris said.

“When I went inside the system, it was about fighting for the people, and there were some tough fights,” Harris said.

The author conveniently forgot to ask the audience how they felt about the wave of illegal immigration. Seeing as though it disproportionately impacts the black community, this seems conveniently left out. More Yahoo hackery

Why does the Democrats always talk about race? Look back at history and see who the real racist were and see who actually helped end slavery. Now the Indian nation is another story. I need to educate myself more on it but they were the ones that were done wrong.

Most of us don’t think of race first. We have too many other things that come first

Couldn't do better than this?

All they have to run on is race. Can't say the economy is bad. Can't say employment is bad best it has been in 60 years for all races and genders. Wages are finally trending up 1st time 40 years. People are getting out of prison that don't belong there. So race is it SAD!

Says the biggest racist of all
