In a nod to the racist birther conspiracy that enveloped President Barack Obama, a tweet claiming Harris wasn’t eligible to run for president because of her immigrant parents went viral. It has been repeated as fact so often that Harris is now forced to explain her ethnic background.
Was nothing learned from Obama’s run for president? He also faced the same inane, pointless questions about his mixed-race identity as Harris. Just like Obama, Harris has exposed narrow-minded views of blackness with her presidential run. Harris is a multi-racial woman who was born in Oakland, went to high school in Montreal, and worshipped with both Hindus and Baptists. She’s a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and yet, by her account, knows how to make an incredible bolognese and a mean pot of collard greens. If the criteria for running for president is being authentically American, people have to accept that this is what that looks like.
“I think they don’t understand who black people are because if you do, if you walked on Hampton’s campus or Howard’s campus, or Morehouse, or Spelman or Fisk, you would have a much better appreciation for the diaspora, for the diversity, for the beauty in the diversity of who are as black people,” Harris said on The Breakfast Club.

I make a mean pot of collard greens.
Her Mother was from India and her Father Jamaican. I don’t know if that qualifies as Black, but she is not African American.
And who she’s dated is basically off limits as well, according to the talking classes. Bet the folks at Tass and Pravda would be very proud of the American media elites and their standards regarding all of this for Kamala.
It is not that she is black that made Obama ineligible... it was his birth place.
My black housekeeper loves mine, I make huge pot most every New Year’s.
Black racism is an issue the country needs to face.
“That’s on them not on us”, never look within because its ugly look outside and try to find someone to pin your sh## on. I am getting so sick of the sh##
Of course not - she’s socialist so she’s properly “black”
Not like Kanye or Clarence Thomas....
is now forced to explain her ethnic background.....
..she learned about her background while in college... how to lie convincingly... Do the horizontal rumba... and get three or four ID’s

Kommiela Harris is a power crazy commie. The problem for her is she’s got a lot of competition.
Do you throw in a turkey leg with your collards?
Common practice around here.
Black? She sure isn’t very dark for black. She is a beautiful, brainless woman. But her skin is barely tanned.
Never mind her relationship with the married mayor; her husband is WHITE. That is why they have to overplay her “blackness”, and ignore outright lies about her listening to rap music that hadn’t even been recorded yet. She is the official token black candidate for the Dems, now “get right” and stop questioning! /s
Bacon finished off with a splash of Hillary’s hot sauce.
"Keep it up Harris.......soon we'll know if Americans consider you fit to govern them."
===================================
Harris is in for a BIG surprise.
Los Bravos, 1967:
Black is black
I want my baby back
It’s gray, it’s gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
‘Cause I-I-I-I-I’m feelin’ blue
I could care less about her color.
Her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard amplified through a 1920s PA system.
It is ambiguous at best. It is not clear that she "lied".
She is asked about what she likes to listen to at the same time as asking what she listened to while high.
Well, Fauxcahontas showed that DNA testing doesn’t do the trick.
Maybe Harris should get a melanin level test.
What is to debate? There is no blackness in her. She is, at most, very high-yellow or high yaller as the phrase is most often expressed. Most politically successful Negroes are mostly white. That does not hold quite so much for the professionally successful. It speaks to the expectations of the voters, especially the minority voters.
