It's really worth reading @KamalaHarris' entire exchange with @TheRoot on whether Trump is racist.

This is not some flippant name-calling exercise.

This is a thoughtful analysis of the facts that leads to the only logical conclusion.

1. Nice to see refreshing honesty from a candidate.

2. it's her thing

..."There's a funny thing about truth," Harris said at a traditional Politics and Eggs breakfast. "Speaking truth can also make people quite uncomfortable."

She said that leaders sometimes "spread lovely dust all over the room" to win over a crowd. "Speaking truth doesn't always accomplish that goal."

“Yes, people will walk away from that conversation saying, ‘I don’t particularly like what I had to hear.’ But they’ll also walk away from that conversation knowing it was an honest conversation.

"As we proceed in this campaign year, I believe it is critically important that as leaders, we speak truth, with a purpose of not offending or making people uncomfortable, but with a purpose of dealing with issues and inspiring trust among the people we serve.”
