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?

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.
