Ugg. I don't even know what to say. I'm no Kamala fan. But...Here's the thing as a mixed-race woman. I grew up with racism. I wasn't allowed to play with some kids because I was "Coloured." That was the 70s/80s

As time went on, it felt things were getting better.

And, 2016

Suddenly, racism was "En vogue." The people who said the stuff in quiet began saying it out loud.

My cousin, a PhD educated 68 year old woman was stopped, manhandled and ordered to take off her headscarf at a local airport a few months ago. I was rejected from a book singing.

I weep for humanity.
