When did Kamala become African-American?

[KingJay]

Her father is mixed with Indian. She is at most only 25% black Jamaican. Calling her black is the equivalent of calling the Obama girls white because they are 25% white.

I thought her mom was the Indian

Her mom IS Indian and her father is mixed Indian and black Jamaican. This is what so many posters have been referring to. She is not even half black, only a quarter if even that.

There’s just too much focus on this. We can easily kill kamala on her policies and foul past history.

we can focus on her policies, but she did use her status as a "person of color" at the debates to both shut down reparations talk and to get at Biden about bussing/integration. Questioning her ethnicity is fair game, but too easy.

So Jamaicans aren't African?

the semantics game is why the "ADOS" terminology is being used now. Look at how yall are trying to loophole people into being "African-American". People keep wanting to compromise whatever term we use so that they can basically tap into our justice claims. Coleman Cruz Hughes said it himself. Calling himself "half-black" came with 'social-capital' when he was telling folks he was Puerto Rican he was getting nowhere. Kamala got so far being Indian-Jamaican, now when she's running for POTUS she needs to be AA so she can have foundation of beating the odds to argue from. Being a privileged child of accomplished immigrants would damn near be a negative for her.

But yeah the semantics game is getting old.

The focus on her counterfeit claim of blackness is very necessary, because it highlights her disregard for the intelligence of black people, showing them that she would cynically exploit their desire for representation instead of putting forth a set of policies specifically tailored to their community.

Same guy that calls black people low iq

it’s hilarious how you continue pulling up posts that were cited in 2024 by those attempting to undercut my advocacy of kamala. you’re almost two years late.

it’s already been established that i was a red pilled, tariq-loving idiot before i woke up.
