For those who are still confused.

Kamala Harris' mother was Indian and her dad was Jamaican.

That makes her Indian, Black and African American.

The majority of Jamaica's Black population have a familial history rooted in the import of slaves after the tribal populations were killed off:

Harris' father DONALD J. Harris (lol) had Afro-Jamaican parents.

All clear? Good.

Black is a color. Jamaicans are not discriminated against in the United States, nor are Indians. She was proud to say she was of Indian heritage and includes black but never mentions Jamaican. She is a fraud

I thought Kamala descended from white Irish slaveowners. Wouldnt that make her part white?

Oh no. Everyone "of color" is discriminated against. But Kamala likes to pretend she is black, so the REAL blacks think she's one of them. Especially when she does her Obama impersonation, amirite?

Very few Jamaicans here. She panders to the blacks and suckers some of them in.

Yes. Irish slave owner and black slave. Several generations back, though.

What black ethnicity from Africa (please name the countries) are the real blacks. Kenya maybe? Was Obama a real black?
 
This election will frustrate me a bit because I don't typically discuss race.. But there is little doubt it has now become a thing again.

My Ra people, who cares what her ethnicity is? No single person who ever existed on this planet chose who they were born as. Our consciousness became aware one day, and one day it will cease. Race and ethnicity means very little to me, and it shouldn't you. You may think you are part of some superior gene set but you lucked into it. You hit the genetic lottery. Or maybe you're not superior at all.

I myself am mostly white European with 14% Filipino. I'm just as proud of that 14% as I am of that 86% other. Not because any of that is from "superior" stock, but it is me. You should be proud to be any race but never to the point of superiority. Proud because it's your life, your roots. It's you.

Stop with this BS. Jamaica is not in Africa. It is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea. Kamala has less African American in her than I do and that is zero.

Race matters to liberals to be used to bludegeon anyone who disses a person of color.

I think the issue is Trump / MAGA making false claims in the context of accusing Harris as a liar.

And when they do this, they show their lack of care/ignorance of Black history.

It's disrespectful and needs to be called out.

The "real blacks"?

Yes. The descendants of blacks in Africa. Particularly those who are the descendants of slaves.

I hope this helps. This is who Kamala and the Democrats pander to and who Rachel Dolezal Harris is pandering to. She doesn't want them to know that I am more African American than she is because she needs their votes. It's a tribal thing.

Are they the ones that deserve compensation?
 
Paradoxical said:
compensation for what? They were never slaves. I never owned one. Did you?

They are the decedents of slaves who enriched the south. Should the former Confederate states compensate them?
 
Further proof Trump has lost it.

He thinks being a complete jerk will land him in the White House.

"I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black," Trump said at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago on Wednesday.

This is Kamala Harris's father.

And Harris never showed. Reporter was out of line. At a black conference and offended stating black jobs… really? DEI? Not right. But he did fine. Tells it exactly how it is. Other way around would have been another issue. Bringing rave into it, people going backwards! Don’t whine when others do take many PEOPLE’s jobs. Biden asked her to be VP? Why?
