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.”

Oh oh... She ain’t black enough?

Biden and the media will blame Harris for the loss, even though tomorrow they’ll show polls with Biden leading by 20 or more percentage points. Sleepy non-cognitive Biden and a half black women against Trump... Like that’s going to fly on election day in November.

The black Harlem minister at ATLAH ministries raised this same issue about Obama. That as a half African man raised by a white mother, he didn’t have the African American EXPERIENCE.

And if you want racist hatred, see the divide between African immigrants and native born blacks. Like the Nigerian community accounting for up to a quarter of Ivy League college admissions. They take advantage of the US affirmative action system intended to benefit AMERICAN blacks.

Can’t wait to see if Biden says she doesn’t speak with a negro dialect.

Kamala's father probably has some African ancestry--so she is more "African-American" than Warren is "Native American."

Obama is not descended from anyone who was a slave in the US, but on his mother's side he had ancestors who were white American slaveowners. Of course many American blacks have some white slaveowners among their ancestors (Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington come to mind).

To her credit, she does have some of Willie’s DNA in her.

Biden would have lost no matter who he chose... but he’s really going to lose big now.

The black vote is NOT going to Biden. Kamala Harris is a white liberal ‘elite’ pick...
