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?

Kamala is VP. Cheatlle was the head of The secret Service. The one thing both have in common is that they were abysmal in their job duties. Color of their skin had nothing to do with that.
@soar2newhighs The point is they are making it in this country.

@Spoiledbrat despite those who try to prevent it!
@Spoiledbrat Thr completion of your sentence should have been …and failing ( in the case of Harris and Cheatle.) And that is my opinion so don’t get upset.
And many women “ make it”
In this country, and though they do well we don’t always hear of or about them. That is not my opinion it’s fact.
@soar2newhighs Other people haven't struggled the way blacks have .. because of racism and being held back, and that's a fact. It's no big deal unless you resent it or something.
@Spoiledbrat I have no argument with your contention. As for Kamala, it’s not about being black or being a person of color or whatever struggles she may have had. It’s about her ablity to perform as a VP or President.

@soar2newhighs she far outshines her opponent!
@samueltyler2 I disagree.

@soar2newhighs you are entitled to your view, but try to list pros and cons and see what you think. Answer are you worse off now than in 2018 or better?

@Spoiledbrat Black people have made it to the top, everywhere, and in every field.

Although blacks do have a disadvantage in somethings, they also have an advantage in
other things.

There is nothing holding black people back, except themselves.

The sooner we stop making them victims, the sooner more of them will follow the
recipe for achieving their goals.
I said the in the past they have been held back so what if we have a first black president or a first woman president. Bfd@DogMan
