Fact check: Image purportedly of Kamala Harris’s birth certificate does not show she was identified as “Caucasian”
Reuters ^ | 8/14/20

Posted on 08/16/2020 5:29:46 AM PDT by Libloather

Social media users are circulating posts making the unsubstantiated claim that California Senator Kamala Harris, recently chosen to be Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s running mate, was identified as “Caucasian” on her birth certificate by her parents.

The posts are accompanied by an image purportedly of Harris’s birth certificate. Reuters has contacted Harris to ask whether this image is an authentic reproduction of her birth certificate, and this check will be updated accordingly. Regardless of authenticity, the claim that this image proves that Harris’ birth certificate identifies her as “Caucasian” is false.

Examples of the claim are visible here, here and here.

The image of the birth certificate shows a red circle around the portion of the certificate that would ostensibly prove the claim. A closer look at the image shows that this section indicates the “color or race of the mother,” listed as “Caucasian.” A few lines beneath it, the “color or race of the father,” is listed as “Jamaican.”

The image of the certificate does not appear to specify Kamala Harris’ race, contrary to the posts’ claim.

That doesn’t look anything like my California birth certificate from 1966...

So she has an African heritage.

Jamaican is not a race. And neither is “African.” They are places.

All of this race stuff is BS. And FR is swallowing up to the reel handle.

“...and this check will be updated accordingly.”

Of course it will. And the bigger the check, the greater support Kamala will receive from Rooters.

All presidential candidates should be require to produce a verified birth certificate. It is just common sense.

Jamaica had a native population before blacks were brought there. So it is not a guaranteed assumption that all dark-skinned people on Jamaica originated in Africa. Although it is likely that many did because of the decimation of the native population by the Europeans.

None the less, the math shows that there is damn little African black blood in Harris. None of which matters execpt to illustrate the rank, pandering, identity politics of the hypocritical Democrats. Her non-indian half is a racial mishmash.

Saw Avas picture in an Italian saloon in San Francisco, asked the ancient barkeeper/owner if she had ever come in the bar he said no and unless she had come in with Frank she would not have left.

Heh. "Unsubstantiated" ... with evidence.

Now, maybe the evidence is questionable, and I submit all evidence is indeed worthy of being questioned.

Now here is an unsubstantiated claim, on my part. The author of the article is a racist bigot.

Fake, Jamacan is not a prescribed race.

US Government provides a limited number of races for their birth and death certificates. The person completing a birth or death certificate selects a race from the Government list.
This ensures uniformity in the data bases.

Jamacian is not a race not a color

As long as Pelosi lies again, most people will accept it.

Concur...A majority of the electorate, educated by socialist termites, is too distracted/stupid/lazy etc. to give a damn.

Thanks!
I was looking for those old reports!

States run the election
Sleepy Joe’s campaign must attest, to each State, that their candidates meet necessary qulaifications.

Until all legally notarized statements are submitted, under penalty perjury, nobody can reasonable claim Sleepy Joe is putting up an unqualified VP pick.

The corrupt press wants President Trump to declare her qualified, as a foundation for getting Kamala through the process
