The media keeps claiming she's black.


Sorry, she's half Asian. Her mother is from India.

And her Caribbean father is more white than black.

I guess it's more politically advantageous to claim she's African-American.

I'm not black and I'm darker than her, especially in the summer

He might have lighterish skin, but if Obama counts as black then so does he.

reply

Yeah, her father is black. And as he got older he looked "blacker". But my point is, Kamala Harris probably has about 25% African blood. She's more Asian than black. She's the first Asian-American VP.

reply

It doesn't matter to the media and leftists. If you're 15/16 white and 1/16 black, you're black.

reply

I get the one drop rule. But half Asian qualifies her as a person of color. Why ignore the Asian 50%?

reply

Nobody is ignoring her Asian side,, She certainly isn't..

reply

The fuck they're not. I live in California. I googled 4 years ago and she was only referred to as the "first black woman". Now that's been corrected and they've added Asian as an afterthought. My point is that Harris is half Asian and it was ignored for years.

Nobody has ever ignored Kamala Harris' Asian side.. Her own mother even stated that everything that was good about her came from her Indian heritage.. Neither she nor anyone else tried to deny her heritage.. In fact if you know anything about the ADOS movement(American Descendants of Slaves) they routinely reminded anyone who would listen that she was not Black(African American)... Some just didn't get the message.

That's an interesting take on things.

Because Asians are not the squeaky wheel in America crying for representation.

13% of the population DEMANDS to be treated as 51%!

One drop rule.

Hell, Black women keep claiming that Kamala is Black.. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has stated that she won't even bother campaigning for another candidate if Kamala is chosen as the democratic nominee..

reply

No, she said she will campaign for Harris and no one else. This is the problem. The Dems will be called racist if they don't choose Harris.

However, Crockett clarified that “I know one thing, I will only work for @KamalaHarris! If it’s anyone OTHER than her, enjoy campaign season…” She continued, “I hope all of my disenchanted colleagues are able to find some walking shoes and get to work because I WILL NOT!”

In the US, if you have even 1/4 black DNA (one in 4 grandparents) you are considered black. The term for such a progeny is called a quadroon.

reply

I've seen people on social media claiming that Johnny Depp is black because one of his distant ancestors was.

Americans are absolutely retarded on race. They should all be lobotomized and give the rest of the sane world some peace.

reply

I agree with your second paragraph.

reply

More of the same MSM manipulation of the situation.
