That something is a radical pastor. In a recent interview with "Religion News Service (RNS)," Rev. Amos Brown, pastor of Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, called Harris a "dues-paying member" of the church. Harris has also described Brown as "my pastor," having been a member of the church for roughly 20 years. She went on to describe Brown as someone she had turned to many times and lauded him for his "wisdom and guidance." Sound familiar yet? After President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, and Harris became the presumptive Democrat nominee, it was Brown that Harris called on. Brown prayed with Harris, and also recited passages from the hymn "Lift Every Voice and Sing," sometimes referred to as the "Black National Anthem."

While praying with a member of his flock and reciting passages from a hymn might not be a problem, what could be a problem for Harris's presidential bid, is Rev. Brown's support of reparations for black Americans. Brown was tapped as a member of California's reparations task force and also offered up his church as a meeting place for task force work. In his interview with RNS, Brown stated his support for reparations saying that the black community should "respond" to injustices done to them by the country “and not react but respond in a responsible, rational, realistic way that will give us results to bring black folks from the bottom of the well economically, academically, healthwise.”

Whether it was Rev. Brown's influence or her own views, in 2019, then-Senator Harris was fully on board with reparations. During an appearance on "The Breakfast Club" radio show, host Charlamagne tha God asked Harris, “So you are for some type of reparations?” Harris's answer, “Yes I am, yes I am." In another interview, she said that just writing checks to people wasn't going to be enough, stating:

“I really don’t… And the worst thing that I think could happen is that checks get written and then everybody says ‘ok, stop talking about this now’ without addressing the systemic inequities that are deep and require investment."

As expected, Rev. Brown fully endorses Kamala Harris's White House run. 

“That’s what this nation needs. That’s what this vice president and, hopefully, president, will be elevated to be: To bring this nation out of darkness. The darkness of incivility. The darkness of lying. The darkness of injustice. The darkness of irresponsible behavior — and that goes at all levels, from the local community up to the national government.”

Rev. Brown also took a veiled swipe at Donald Trump asking how someone could call immigrants, “evil, cruel” or “rapists? Why would you do that to other people?” 

If Kamala Harris was looking for an issue to further divide the country to go along with her own radical views, she could not have found a better one. According to a 2023 Reuters/Ipsos survey, 74 percent of black Americans and 26 percent of white Americans were in favor of reparations. When broken down by political party, there was not much difference. Democrats supported reparations by 58 percent and Republicans by just 18 percent.

Rev. Brown might not be as radical as Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose golden oldies include, "No no no, not God bless America, God d**n America!" And after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, declaring that "America's chickens are coming home to roost." But we are just getting to know him. There may be plenty more where support for reparations came from.

Kamala is all in on reparations because we need to "heal" from our dark past. Well Kamala my family got here in 1952, I'm not paying. https://t.co/kkWgPvWzvK
