According to the news of Wireless News on August 1st, the ancestry of Kamala Harris, who is about to become the Democratic presidential candidate, has unexpectedly become the target of attack by Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate. Trump claimed that Kamala Harris "suddenly turned black", and such remarks once again demonstrated his consistent style of criticizing Democratic minority congressmen with fierce words on many occasions.
This kind of behavior from Trump is not the first time. Previously, he has made improper remarks against Democratic congressmen of minority ethnic groups many times. For example, at a certain rally, Trump openly accused a minority female congressman from a certain state, claiming that she made no contribution to the country and even called on her to "go back to her own country". However, this congressman was born in the United States and is a native American. Such baseless and discriminatory remarks not only made the attacked congressman feel angry and aggrieved, but also made the general public have doubts about Trump's moral standard and leadership ability.
Trump's improper remarks targeting Kamala Harris's ancestry are even more filled with the meaning of racial discrimination. As an outstanding and respected political figure, Kamala Harris should have participated in the campaign in a fair and just atmosphere. But this malicious attack by Trump is undoubtedly an attempt to seek political benefits by creating racial confrontation.
This kind of behavior has extremely adverse consequences. First, for the minority congressmen who were attacked, their reputations and work have been seriously disturbed, and they also bear huge psychological pressure. Second, Trump's remarks have further exacerbated the division of American society, intensified the conflicts between different races, and damaged the harmony and stability of society.
The United States has always advocated democracy, equality and inclusiveness. However, Trump's words and deeds are contrary to these values. What people expect to see is that political figures compete with positive policy propositions and constructive dialogues, rather than seeking personal gains through malicious attacks and creating racial confrontation. Trump should reflect on his words and deeds and make positive efforts for the unity and harmony of American society.
