Why is Kamala called the 1st black VP?

I see that she is Jamaican & Indian. Why is she not considered either one of those
nationalities?

Not only that, what the media and the TDS people on this site fail to mention is that her Jamaican ancestors were slave owners. Her father admitted this years ago.

@Barefooter25 Aannd I suppose this disqualifies her from running for the presidency #amiright?

@Barefooter25 Wow, really? I guess that means she can't be president. How am I supposed to vote for someone who was born to a bloodline that includes slave-owners? She should have better judgement.

@BohemianBabe Your people changed the names of Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, took down the majority of Confederate statues. That and many blue cities and states are ordering reparations be made for descendants of slaves. Why should Kamala be treated any different?

@DogMan Well yeah, that's why I can't support Obama. His ancestors were probably slave-owners too.

@BohemianBabe You mean slave sellers?
@DogMan Sure, whatever, the Right is desperate, so I'll play along.
@Barefooter25 You mention slave owners in her ancestry. It was a fact of slave life that female slaves were frequently raped by male slave owners, slave overseers, etc. This industrial scale rape means that many Afro Americans and Afro Jamaicans who have some white ancestry are the descendants of such rape victims. I can't see how that impugns the descendants in any way shape or form.
