Re: Kamala Harris
Like other African Americans, she is an American descended from African slaves. Many African Americans have some white blood in them.92f-fan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 10:48 am Its a rough question to ask in public, but Im curious. She has Jamaican and indian parents. So genetically she is half of each. But she gets to pick being either Black or Indian as it serves her ? Confused.
Follow up, can she call herself "African American " if she is from Jamaica ? I know that Jamaican ancestors came from Africa, but if we are able to pick continents from thousands of years ago wouldn't we also be able to go back further than Africa ? Maybe include Pangea ? Pangean-American would be MUCH more inclusive.
These days people "identify" as all kinds of things so maybe nothing should surprise me any more.
I guess Im easily confused by the current process of picking and choosing your ancestry and your orientation from a grab bag.
All this PC stuff drives me crazy ...

Picture of her father. I believe he belives he is African Irish. Her mom is 100% Indian. So that would make her 50% Indian, 25% Irish 25% African.
I would be interesting if she did a Ancestry DNA test before the election.
https://apnews.com/afs:Content:9240201328 Says she has used both for some time. Went to a historically black college.
Supposedly her mom raised her Black. So she identifies as Black. She was born in the US so she could call herself African American, Euro American or Indian American. I find it interesting that no one wants to use their "white privilege" but prefer to express their minor African or Native American roots.

Re: Kamala Harris
her father is apparently quite mad that she calls herself black, he doesn't use the term for himself, he says he's Jamaican, sooooo.philip964 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 12:08 pmhttps://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a2 ... is-father/92f-fan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 10:48 am Its a rough question to ask in public, but Im curious.

also, she apparently said something about being a descendant of slaves, that's funny since her great-gf or some-such were slave traders.

Re: Kamala Harris
Harris is very bad news for our 2ndA rights. It is more of motivation to work harder on getting the vote out next November.

Houston photographer reposted a fake campaign logo about Biden and Harris.
It referred to Harris as a sex worker. He apologizesd. He will no longer be used by the NBA for photography.
No matter. They are dead to me.

As a candidate for President she proposed many new gun restrictions.
How will she be as Biden’s running mate?
Probably you should vote for the orange man.

In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Re: Kamala Harris
In that sentence I did not mean Harris. In general it seems that some people of mixed race tend to express their heritage as anything but White. Obama is 50/50 but expressed this heritage as black. Liz Warren is 0% Native American, but expressed her heritage as Native American. It is so odd since White has so many privileges in America and throughout the world.pushpullpete wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 11:55 amphilip964 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 12:08 pmhttps://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a2 ... is-father/92f-fan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 10:48 am Its a rough question to ask in public, but Im curious.

Re: Kamala Harris
I agree, and to be specific to this weird case, Kamala Harris is half Black and half Indian. She was raised by a single mother from the time she was seven (IIRC). She says her mother raised her as a Black woman and to be a strong woman. How did an Indian woman raise her to be Black?
