We enter the murky world of race, racial classification and racial politics in the United States, directly referencing both former president Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, who presidential candidate Joe Biden has named his vice presidential running mate.
As was with Obama, Harris's racial identity has already become a media obsession, not about who and what she is, but about who and what she is not. She is not white.
Leid Stories starts with that premise today, as we look at how Harris's nomination revives centrality of race in America and how it continues to shape our lives.

Here's what we're talking about on Leid Stories today.
>> Former mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown thinks that Kamala Harris, who is said to be high on the list of vice presidential possible running mates for Joe Biden, should "politely decline" the offer if presented. Harris should think of a political future beyond a presumed single term for Biden, if he becomes president, Brown says.
>> Is Bernie Sanders' "Make Billionaires Pay Act" proposal really an act of revenge?
>> In these lean times what do you do to stretch a dollar?

>> Democratic presidential candidate this week announces who his running mate will be. Apart from the political theater it will create, it certainly will be seen as Biden aggressively courting two groups key to a win -- African Americans and women. Will this do it?
