Kamala Harris does not appear to me to be black at ALL

I am not saying who SHE self identifies with I am saying to my observation every time I see her I see a caucasian woman, I am talking hair, complexion facial features - I see NO trace, nothing... if you told me she was white I would accept it totally but she keeps on telling us she is black - she does not look REMOTELY black and I mean nothing .. I tried to research her and bounced into articles were the debate is "is she black enough?" Black enough??? she does not look black at ALL. I surely can not be the ONLY one who has observed this?

Her father is Jamaican, her mother is Tamil Indian.
She identifies as an American, and that should be all that matters

She self identifies as black... which is her business, but she does not in any functional way remotely resemble a Black Woman.... @GJOFJ3

@pdqsailor1 That's on you if your definition of what an African American looks like is important

pdqsailor1 · 61-69, M

Sigh... I am getting sorry I brought this up, I figured this is a legitimate question... not an emotional one.. She in no way what so ever remotely resembles a Black Woman. @GJOFJ3

I've never seen these articles that you bounced into. What I've read, is mostly about her education, achievements, career, and likewise, her parents.

@pdqsailor1 Neither article supports your strwman. The only reference to an actual person, as opposed to hypotheticals, is this:

[quote]Harris has endured the racist attacks from conservative figures like Donald Trump Jr. who say she can’t truly represent African Americans because her father was born in Jamaica. Harris, who was born in Oakland, California, is an American of both Jamaican and Indian descent. [/quote]

I am not a republican - and as far from a Trump supporter as it gets.. I understand the American part just fine, I understand the politics just fine... That is not what my question / observation is about.

The only politics that enter into this is when SHE raises the subject in the course of her campaign and my response is that her arguments in this regard [i]appear[/i] to be [i]far less than credible[/i].

that is the point...

@pdqsailor1 That's called a strawman.

I thought she was of Indian descent. She always looks stoned.

pdqsailor1 · 61-69, M

Apparently half Jamaican and half Indian.. First off I have met plenty of white Jamaicans.. what ever the details the result - sure does not remotely resemble any black Women I have known. @MasterLee

She says black... does she look black to you? I mean even remotely?

Look I can not be the ONLY one who observes this phenomena...

@pdqsailor1 pulled the card? She's black. Just because your understanding of what a person of color looks like is too narrow doesn't make her "caucasian" get over it.

pdqsailor1 · 61-69, M

Ok you are not adding ANYTHING of value to the discussion... @SW-User

She’s a full on hottie.

pdqsailor1 · 61-69, M

I am not going to argue that she is an attractive Woman. As I said however I would presume to look at her that she is a caucasian and not remotely black. @Quoththeraven
