Follow up, can she call herself "African American " if she is from Jamaica ? I know that Jamaican ancestors came from Africa, but if we are able to pick continents from thousands of years ago wouldn't we also be able to go back further than Africa ? Maybe include Pangea ? Pangean-American would be MUCH more inclusive.

These days people "identify" as all kinds of things so maybe nothing should surprise me any more.
I guess Im easily confused by the current process of picking and choosing your ancestry and your orientation from a grab bag.
All this PC stuff drives me crazy ...
Like other African Americans, she is an American descended from African slaves. Many African Americans have some white blood in them.

Picture of her father. I believe he belives he is African Irish. Her mom is 100% Indian. So that would make her 50% Indian, 25% Irish 25% African.

I would be interesting if she did a Ancestry DNA test before the election.

https://apnews.com/afs:Content:9240201328 Says she has used both for some time. Went to a historically black college.

Supposedly her mom raised her Black. So she identifies as Black. She was born in the US so she could call herself African American, Euro American or Indian American. I find it interesting that no one wants to use their "white privilege" but prefer to express their minor African or Native American roots.

her father is apparently quite mad that she calls herself black, he doesn't use the term for himself, he says he's Jamaican, sooooo.
also, she apparently said something about being a descendant of slaves, that's funny since her great-gf or some-such were slave traders.

They should ask themselves the following types of questions, and answer them unflinchingly:

  2. Do they believe OR NOT believe that this nation is at or rapidly approaching a similar crossroads?
  3. What are they willing to do about it, if their votes are overruled by an anti-Constitutional majority bent on completely changing the structure of our gov’t and ending our economic way of life?
  4. How far are they willing to go?
  5. Are they all hat and no cattle?
I’ll be perfectly honest.....I don’t know all the answers, but I CAN answer thusly: what we HAD is worth restoring; what we HAVE isn’t worth saving. I don’t believe that, in the current political climate, what we HAD can be restored. It will have to wait until ALL of us are so fed up that there’s no more talk, only action........PHYSICAL action......JUST like the left is doing right now.....

They’re winning only because we don’t resist. We TALK about resisting, but we don’t resist.

Harris is very bad news for our 2ndA rights. It is more of motivation to work harder on getting the vote out next November.

Houston photographer reposted a fake campaign logo about Biden and Harris.

It referred to Harris as a sex worker. He apologizesd. He will no longer be used by the NBA for photography.

No matter. They are dead to me.
She did use brown willie to get ahead (pun intended).

As a candidate for President she proposed many new gun restrictions.

How will she be as Biden’s running mate?

Probably you should vote for the orange man.
Funny thing she’ll have to overcome, if our side plays it’s cards right.......

In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

In that sentence I did not mean Harris. In general it seems that some people of mixed race tend to express their heritage as anything but White. Obama is 50/50 but expressed this heritage as black. Liz Warren is 0% Native American, but expressed her heritage as Native American. It is so odd since White has so many privileges in America and throughout the world.

I agree, and to be specific to this weird case, Kamala Harris is half Black and half Indian. She was raised by a single mother from the time she was seven (IIRC). She says her mother raised her as a Black woman and to be a strong woman. How did an Indian woman raise her to be Black?
