Google is accurate. Kamala Harris is black. But she's not African-American. She's not descended from American slaves.

But her skin color is "black". And she has some African blood on her father's side.

Oh yeah? Well then what comes up if you search on ‘Kamala Harris’s slave holding ancestors?’

[FreedomPoster]

She certainly is not Eddie Murphy black.

“ But her skin color is “black”

To the extent she has dark skin comes from her 1/2 Tamil Indian side.

He father has some African ancestry but is pretty light skinned.

Harris was an accordion, and all night long it was in and out and in and out.

She's not African-American and she was never disadvantaged in any way.

Her father was a tenured Stanford professor and her mother was a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab scientists have won fifteen Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry).

She is academic royalty by virtue of her parents and her father was from a family of plantation owners in Jamaica.

“Black skin”

I’ve know plenty of white folks with darker tans than her.

Their obsession with skin tone is nauseating.

She may have a small percentage of descent from Jamaican-African slaves. They are "American" in the sense of "South America". Her skin color is what they used to call "café au lait" (coffee with cream) among African Americans, due to her majority caucasian heritage.

In the U.S., we think of "caucasian" as a euphemism for European colonial descendants from the British Isles and northwestern Europe. But the original caucasians are from the Caucasus mountain region of Russia/Turkey, who also spread historically into northern India:

Racial typology in India is historically difficult. Kamala's mother apparently identifies as "Indo-Aryan" or caucasian.

I work in IT and as such, have interacted with hundreds of Indians over the years. I’ve never asked them specifically, but none of them viewed themselves as black. They were brown. India is in Asia but they also don’t refer to themselves as Asian.

Trump, per usual, is right. Pointing out that she’s Indian is brilliant because she was trying to leverage her skin tone to make inroads with the black population. They feel differently about Indians than African heritage blacks. That she panders to each group and we can all see it is icing on the cake.
