Since Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) was thrust into the spotlight as a candidate for vice president, conservative media personalities have launched an array of racist narratives, including questioning whether she’s “really Black.” Trevor Noah dove right in on “The Daily Show” on Wednesday night. He showed clips of conservative pundits and allies of President Donald Trump questioning Harris’s heritage. “OK, first of all, being partly descended from a slave owner is one of the Blackest things that can happen to you,” Noah said. Ask yourself this question: Is she Black enough to get kicked out of a restaurant back in the day in the Jim Crow South? Is she Black enough to be kept out of a whites-only school as a little girl?
