Is Kamala Harris really black?

It’s almost a foregone conclusion that Kamala Harris will earn most of the “black vote” because of her being considered a black woman. It’s a lot like when Barack Obama was running, back in 2008 and 2012. It was settled fact that he was black, even though he’s not. Kamala isn’t black either. Well, I take that back. She’s black when it furthers her political career. In the interview below, she changes how she speaks so she sounds blacker. 🤔

In a cooking segment, Kamala joined actress (and fellow Indian person) Mindy Kaling to prepare a traditional Indian dish. In that video, she speaks about her Indian heritage as if it’s all she ever knew.

So is Kamala black? Well, her mom is Indian and her dad is Jamaican. This makes her half black and 100% not African-American (if we’re being technical). Kind of the opposite of Barack Obama, actually. He’s 100% African-American but 50% not black. It always confused me when people said he was our country’s first black president…. because it’s also true to say he was a white president. Who even knows if he was our first biracial president, either? I suspect we’ve had a handful of presidents with mixed ethnicities. 

But to be honest, I’m not surprised liberals are praising Kamala’s blackness. They can claim she’s whatever they need her to be because after all, all you have to do to be whatever you want to be is just say you’re that. Science and biology can go kick rocks.
