There’s a serious war going on right now regarding Kamala Harris blackness and her lineage

[Nigerianwonder]

Clearly, you don't know what Black American culture is. I advise you to pick up some books and know that MUCH of our culture is not influenced or touched by non-ADOS.

You want to bring up Malcom X -- first he is ADOS and was raised by his ADOS family. Due his mother not being able too.

Sidney Poitier is not the GodFather of Black Cinema. LOL. Again - learn some history.

The CRM is a continuation of our ancestors fighting before Emancipation and continue after Emancipation, Jim Crow to the CRM -- Mr. Carmichael, Mr, Garvey -- were support and allies to an ongoing strong movement -- they aint change shyt that wasn't already going on. They are appreciated -- but they aren't even worth mentioning in the scope of things and the history of everything.

Only on the coli can read ignorant statements such as this. If you dont know what portier means to black cinema then you shouldnt be talking about cinema. Same with civil rights etc..

Modern day black culture is not the same as black culture in the 1800's or earlier. Modern day culture has been shaper and molded by ados and non ados alike. You are being disingenuous or willfully ignorant.

Ados started with noble intentions imo but it has now become a beacon and safe haven for the ignorant to proudly proclaim their ignorance of black history, culture, and their hate/jealousy of black immigrants.

Which explains why when Marianne Williamson brought up reparations during the debate, she diverted attention away from the subject by immediately changing the topic.

ADOS is a pathetic and miserable joke of a campaign, no democratic politicians should pander to these idiots who dont vote and moan and whine on the internet. Reparations will never happen and it is not politically feasible and is deeply unpopular with whites. Just from an electoral stand point it is stupid. ADOS is a joke, fukk em. They didnt vote last time and wont vote now and dont give a damn if trump wins again so fukk em.

Harris is an african american, with jamaican and indian heritage just as obama was african american with kenyan heritage. The real reason morons on this forum dont like her or are making this bs threads is because they want to further the trump agenda and criticize the democratic party while giving the republican party a now explicit open white supremacist party a pass and not challenge them and the other point is kamala harris had the audacity to marry a white man, this is how pathetic and ignorant this militants on this forum are, its her getting married to a white guy that really pisses them off. Ignorant fukks grow up.

 

[dontreadthis]

Black folks ain’t gonna blindly follow a biracial person with a white spouse

If you’re the best candidate, then cool, we will vote for you

Blind support though? Nah

you don't think a lot of people are blindly supporting her because she's a black woman?

No, only on the Coli -- will someone act like Harry Belafonte is the Godfather of Black Cinema. Learn about Oscar Micheaux.

Nor would someone act like the few non-ADOS you mentioned were the CRM -- or had such a large role (not X - cause he is ADOS) -- learn about Reconstruction, Jim Crow and realized that was a ongoing movement.

You are the one who is ignorant -- and uneducated on Black American Culture. I have done my part to put you on. Now, it's your turn to read and learn.

It doesn't have anything to do with Black immigrants -- it's being proud of who we are and our culture. You don't want to give us that right -- when everyone know we have our own culture.

 

[BigMan]

Donald Trump Jr. supporting ADOS now

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Her race and ethnicity wouldn't be an issue iif her strategy and the Democrats' agenda wasn't so blatant

The pandering and race symbolism they're trying to push to pacify another generation of Black voters is insulting


She doesn't have to be one of us

Dems don't understand that
Republicans are exploiting that for the wrong reasons


It's not working for either party

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

People are making this about everything else but what it's really about. This is about a White race American man questioning the experiences and authenticity of a Black race American woman. Putting her policies and likability aside, what Donald Jr did was problematic and he knows it because he deleted the tweet. Unless Harris is claiming she is ADOS, I dont see what she did wrong. She only talked about her plight as a Black race woman in the USA. She has a right to do that even if she is unlikable or has policies you do not agree with.

When his dad did the exact thing to Obama black people were ready to war with Trump, it’s funny how different things are now though

You clearly cannot read. Who said belafonte was the godfather of black cinema? I said sidney portier was. And that's factual.

I listed examples of civil rights leaders. Never said they were the whole movement.

You keep generalizing cause you cannot refute any of the points. The argument was that non ados and ados have shaped what known as modern day black culture. That is fact no matter how much you try to diminish and ignore history.

 

[Wacky D]

this the same old chick that lied about listening to snoop & 2pac in college.

come to find out, she was in college back in the '80s.

she brought the war on herself.:shotsfired:

Kamala is not ADOS, and what BLACK lineage she has is of such insignificance that she does not represent the black community. She also married a gay white man. She’s about as much “black” as Rachel Dolezal.

lol. hes gay tho?

what does ADOS mean again? yall told me before but times are hectic.

Apologies. It's early. But, Poitier is also not the "Godfather of Black Cinema" -- he is appreciated and loved. There is no such "Godfather."

Superman Monday: Oscar Micheaux , The Father Of

You mentioned them as if they were extremely important - or to show how non-ADOS shaped or as you stated "influenced" our culture.

And my argument -- is Black American/ADOS Culture was shaped already -- and others have engaged and contributed to CERTAIN elements of that said culture.

 

[filial_piety]

What is the "Black American experience" in your opinion? I"m sure that means racism and discrimination to you correct? That isn't what is means to me. Black American experience would mean Black American culture/ethnicity/history --- and everything that comes with it. Meaning it's more than having Black skin -- and being seen as Black.


She has always claimed she was a "child of immigrants" -- or bi-racial and something Indian-American. Yeah -- the issue is people think Black (race) = being Black American -- and we are saying Black American is an ethnicity/lineage - not just skin/race -- and that's causing the confusion.

This is where I think a lot of people are getting lost...they equate experiencing racism as the qualifying factor for being African American, when it’s about a specific ancestral lineage imo. I don’t see racism as the defining cornerstone for me being AA. I’m not AA because someone white HAS or COULD call me nikker”If race relations changed overnight in this country to the point where everyone truly did not see color—I would still be African American...which is still different from Jamaican American, Kenyan American etc.

Imo humble opinion, it’s not about looks—it’s an actual question of what you are. And from where I sit, Kamala is not BLACK but she is half black. You can’t just simply wipe out half your family just to fit in where you feel most comfortable at. I think it’s big time disrespectful to that half of your family.

And if it were about looks and experiences—then where does Rachel Dolazel fit into all of this?—because let her and others tell it, she LOOKS black and has experienced racism despite really being a white person.

Meh, her ancestors were forced from Africa by the British and enslaved in the North Americas. Some slaves managed to get away to the north, some to the west, some ended ended up no the islands, some fled from the islands. I will not draw out a WHITE law book to make the damn definition.

With that said, I still don't fukk with her. But not because cacs love when black people in the US go to war with each other like c00ns, but because she is a c00n. A black, American c00n.

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

solution: abandon identity politics so you aren't subjected to irrelevant discussions used to deflect from tangible actions

It's a damn shame that those politicians were quick to prove they can speak spanish so to pander to the 900k or so latinos, while not talmbowt whether they are/were successful/failed business owners so to earn credibility when discussing the Economy, which affect all 300 million folks

 

[Pressure]

She is Black.
She is not African-American.
Until she went to Howard and pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha nothing about her life experience was the average Black-American or African-American experience.

She is the child of two immigrants, an upper-middle class Jamaican and an upper-middle class Indian, both of whom have advanced degrees and one of whom was a government official, the other a professor. Her grandparents were also in the same group, and I believe she spent some time as a child as in Canda.

I have more in common with Sherrod Brown and Cory Booker than I do with her

The closest she got to being an AA woman was when she dated the mayor of Sacramento who was 40 years her senior

All of this is true, but she still grew up with the black experience because she's black.

Racism didn't overlook her because her dad is Jamaican or because her mom is Indian.

She ended up at an HBCU and joined a black sorority.

I doubt you'd find much distinction between her and any other black woman who followed the same path.
