For all of Kamala Harris’ impressive firsts, she’s not the first person of color elected vice president of the United States.

That was achieved by Charles Curtis, a Native American lawmaker and member of the Kaw Nation, who served under President Herbert Hoover some 90 years ago.

Ministry of Truth is full of it.

Curtis was probably eligible for the office.
Harris isn’t.

"People of Color"

Which color?

(is the Left Chromophobic?)

"Chromophobia (also known as chromatophobia or chrematophobia) is a persistent, irrational fear of, or aversion to, colors and is usually a conditioned response. While actual clinical phobias to color are rare, colors can elicit hormonal responses and psychological reactions."

Early life and education
Born on January 25, 1860, in North Topeka, Kansas Territory,[1] a year before Kansas was admitted as a state, Charles Curtis had roughly ​3⁄8 Native American ancestry and ​5⁄8 European American.[citation needed] His mother, Ellen Papin (also spelled Pappan), was Kaw, Osage, Potawatomi, and French.[2][3] His father, Orren Curtis, was of English, Scots, and Welsh ancestry.[4] On his mother’s side, Curtis was a descendant of chief White Plume of the Kaw Nation and chief Pawhuska of the Osage.[5]

Curtis’s first words as an infant were in French and Kansa, both languages learned from his mother. She died in 1863, when he was 3 years old, but he lived for some time thereafter with his maternal grandparents on the Kaw reservation and returned to them in later years. He learned to love racing horses; later, he was a highly successful jockey in prairie horse races.[6]
