Before you start thinking that this brouhaha involves Kamala Harris, it doesn’t. This story involves a different Black Vice President. That would be Vice President Francia Márquez of Colombia. Back in September, the ongoing protests and unrest in that country resulted in an angry crowd showing up in front of Colombia’s congressional building. A female protester named Luz Fabiola Rubiano was asked by a local reporter to comment on the protesters’ demands. She launched into a tirade against Márquez (who is Black) including racist rhetoric and the subsequent video went viral. She was later arrested and pleaded guilty to “discrimination and harassment. Next month she will face sentencing and may wind up getting three years in prison… for saying things. (AP)Read More
