Why some African Americans are questioning Kamala Harris’s blackness
Washington Post ^ | June 28 2019 | By Eugene Scott

Posted on 08/11/2020 1:46:12 PM PDT by rintintin

During the Democratic presidential debate, Donald Trump Jr. shared a viral tweet that questions Sen. Kamala D. Harris’s (D-Calif.) ability to address issues of importance to black Americans because she is the daughter of a Jamaican immigrant.

The tweet — which some suspect is from a bot targeting black voters — read: “Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican. I’m so sick of people robbing American Blacks (like myself) of our history. It’s disgusting. Now using it for debate time at #DemDebate2? These are my people not her people. Freaking disgusting.”

For 30 years in the federal government I watched the “we need one from each category” policy instead of best candidate wins job policy...it doesn’t work very well. And never will.

She's more of a tannish-beige.

She could always say she’s had plenty of black in her when she was “working” for Willie Brown.

I’m just sayin’. As we say in the South “I’m not saying who but somebody was doing something”.

But her father is of African descent unless he came over from India.

Because she isn’t African-American on either side of the hyphen....

Well, “side woman” is true for sure..as someone elsewhere called her — repository for Ol Willys penis....

AND the 80K a year job he got/gave her....helps make clear other aspects of her character...

FLATBACKING PAYS !!!! Ask Kamala...

Obama wasn’t African-American either. Privileged kid who went to a top prep school in Hawaii. Came to America and decided to be black, complete with phony accent.

Her father publicly reminded her their ancestors were slave owners.

This could get ... interesting.

Well, she in not black nor competent nor a natural born citizen. She does, however, fill the womyn square. Probably.

But, I suppose that is plenty for any self-aggrandizing, election-stealing Democrat to sink their slobbering fangs into.

Maybe that (Tawny) could be one of her nicknames, during the campaign.   (Do tawny lives matter?)

Don't know about that, AppyPappy.

Actually, there are a lot of Jamaicans that look like her father. Don't get fooled by what you see on TV.

Think of her as the opposite of Martin Luther King—Biden appointed her because of the color of her skin and not the content of her character.

In the words of the immortal Ed McMahon “Hey-oooooooooo!”
