It's long .. though thoughtful and very interesting.
For anyone who needs a quick refutation of the idea that VP Harris "diDnT sAy shE wAs bLaCK unTiL nOw", here's a quick bunch of facts that lay that to rest all in one paragraph.

#KamalaHarris, who was #born in #California, is #eligible to be #president.
#Birtherism is back, it seems, now that #support is coalescing around #VicePresident Harris for the #Democratic #presidential #nomination
That period of time was one of intense competition between #MichaelCohen & Trump's longest-serving adviser, #RogerStone.
#Trump didn't ultimately run in the election in the following year. But he did plant the seeds for himself in the #GOP primary by vaulting to the top of the polls on the #birtherism #racist #ConspiracyTheory #lie that President Barack #Obama may not have been born in the United States.
For context, when this issue came up in 2011, #Trump was beginning to talk about running for president in the 2012 #Republican primary. He had been promoting the #birtherism #ConspiracyTheory lie about President #Obama’s, suggesting Obama was an illegitimate president, & was gaining traction in polls [w/ #WhiteSupremacists] as he did.

In addition to #racist #birtherism attacks & referring to her as “Nimrada” (not her birth-name BTWs), #Trump is now saying #Haley isn’t brown enough to have dealt w/ #racism.
Today, Trump attacked #NikkiHaley by questioning her claim that she was teased as a young "brown girl."
He reposted a video on social media w/the caption:
“ALERT. An image of Nikki Haley as a young ‘Brown Girl’ has been released”
then it has someone saying,
“Where is the brown at? Show me the brown.”
He is disgusting.
