The hardest question you can ask a stoned person: "What were we JUST talking about?"

Uh, we took Hall and Oats, as well as Michael McDonald and Tina Marie in the 1987 Racial Draft, I believe. That year ya'll got Charley Pride, and Nat King Cole if memory serves. lol
OK, I think I will uncork this on here. It's time for a little "hate Mongo" time.
If we are to get past our herd instincts and truly become the great people most of us think we already are, we need to be sensitive to both sides of the double edged sword which is truth.
One of the first is: for us all to have "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" will always require us to take away either/or someone else's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness".
That made Vanilla Ice an undrafted free agent, IIRC.
Slim Shady was legit.Nah, we gave him the pink slip when Eminem started to get big.
Mongo, I won't spread any hate to you, but I did want to address this, because I can see you put a lot of time and thought into it. If I'm reading what you wrote correctly, I must disagree with your premise that I bolded above. And I'm going to explain it by an example: Toilet Paper.
The man that brought toilet paper to the masses, as in affordable, mass production, became very rich. Before that people used corn cobs, Sears, Roebuck catalogs, etc... He did not get rich at the expense of the people who bought his product, nor did he take away their life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. In fact, he enhanced their pursuit of happiness, because they now had clean bottoms. The fact that he became very rich is a by-product of the free market system, and I'm sure he went on to invest his wealth into many productive ventures, as well as employing many hundreds of thousands of people over the years. It's called creating wealth; a concept not unique to the United States, but that we've done very well for a long time. I do not hold it against the man who creates wealth, while at the same time enhancing everyone's life around him. If you expand this concept to all the many life-enhancing products we use every day, you can see that the pursuit of happiness (in this case, wealth) does not have to come at the expense of anyone else, and often times helps everyone on the planet.
I know your post was more comprehensive than this little bit I've responded to, and I will re-read your post for more understanding. If I misread how you meant the bold part above, my apologies in advance.

Wait. I thought you didn’t like liars.Could possibly be, that off the cuff, she just threw out the names of two rappers that she was fond of? This just seems like such a non-story.

A lie as an intentional act to mislead or deceive? Absolutely. There's nothing in her statement that leads me to believe that was her intent.

Except for the complete fabrication part her statement was truthful.
It’s all about the cred man. Wait until she gets torpedoed for marrying a white dude. She’s already been questioned about it in a recent interview.It does seem like she was trying to establish her bonafides.

What I do find interesting is that those that support the current administration, seem very eager to call Harris a liar, over this, when they can't seem to call out the other guys lies...
Had that been her response, I would have believed that she actually did listen to rap in college. Just a " not cool" person trying to portray herself as a "cool" person to seem more relatable and likable. Nerdy, boring, straight laced people have been doing it for a while I suspect. Either way, I agree, non issue... kinda funny though.How so? Rappers existed well before she was in college, she could have just as easily said she listened to Run DMC and LL Cool J.

For instance:
-How much has the wall Trump built? Hint: using whole numbers, it's less than 1
-Did crime start going down in El Paso after their wall was built? Hint: It's the opposite of "yes."
-Is Mexico paying for a wall? Hint: Only if most US citizens hold dual-citizenship with Mexico
-Is Russia is unhappy about the US leaving Syria? Hint: Putin may be playing 4D chess when he applauded the move
-Has the president released his tax returns? Hint: They're coming, when? Well we can't say for sure.
