Former President Donald Trump falsely accusing Harris of ‘turning Black’ unfortunately mirrors what happens in many workplaces. At the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention, former President Donald Trump told the audience that Vice President Kamala Harris had “turned Black.” He went on to accuse her of “only promoting Indian heritage.” He also said, “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black.”
