She was born in 1964 and I was already 30 years old and had lived in Oakland until going to Korea in 1952.
Now that you mentioned it, I come from Montreal and Kamala went to high school in Montreal.. Westmount High School... Her mother worked at the Jewish General Hospital as a lab scientist.. I was born at the Jewish General Hospital.. Not the same era of course, but ……… Just mentioning ……. She isn't my VP..... I am Canadian...
I lived in West Oakland from 1947 to 1953, my teen age years. Kamala was born in 1964. West Oakland is predominately a black area of Oakland. The only high school in West Oakland was and still is Mcclymonds with mostly all black students. I had to take a bus to attend Oakland Tech where there were caucasians as well as blacks and asians. I had many non white friends and have stayed in touch with several via email. Kamala was born at Kaiser Hospital which was right around the corner from my Westlake Junior High School. West Oakland produced not only our new Vice President but a hand full of NFL NBA atheletes.
I was born in Beth Israel Jewish Hospital in Newark New Jersey and still avoided circumcision. Can you imagine that?
So you took a bus to avoid having to attend school with black students? As for me, I was best friends with every black student in my school.
NO--- The Black High School was ALL Black . The high school I did attend had Black students and academic / sports programs that I wanted. I had Black friends there.
