During the second Democratic debate on Thursday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) ripped into front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden over his former opposition to federally-mandated school busing as a means of desegregation:
HARRIS: Growing up, my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn’t play with us because we were black. And I will say also that, in this campaign, we have also heard – and I’m going to now direct this at Vice President Biden – I do not believe you are a racist, and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground. But I also believe – and it’s personal – it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose bussing.
