Is Kamala really African American?

We were told that her father was black, but info is coming out that he was actually Irish.

so she would be Indian & Irish. There are also rumors that her Irish side owned slaves.

I hope for her sake none of this is true. Although lying about ethnicity is ok in the DNC,
it didn't hurt Pocahontas Liz Warren one bit.

I guess if Kalama says she identifies as black, it doesn't matter if she is Irish.

When she became a senator she made a little speech about being the first woman of Indian descent to become a US senator. It's on film, that's where I saw it.

@Nitedoc she is of Indian decent, and also of African. What is your point? Are you 100% of one origin? Many people are blends of cultures. her mother was asian-Indian, hence that part, and her father was of African origin.

@samueltyler2 I think we are all mixed to some degree. My point is I don't think it's ethical for her to cover both sides of the fence with her mixed race as it suits her and her followers and supporters at the time. She is playing the dual race card in hopes it will benefit her much more than just saying she is of mixed race.

@Nitedoc you are trying hard to attack her because she states a fact. by doing what you do you are attacking her on the basis of her race which I believe is a despicable approach.

@samueltyler2 Her father is from Jamaica. Are all Jamaicans considered "of African origin" as you stated? I haven't tried hard to attack her. It would be quite obvious if I did. I'm just stating some facts and asking some questions. Do you really not see how she is playing her own dual race card to garner votes? I have formed my opinions on her based on her words and actions. I am entitled to my opinions which I freely state due. Are you familiar with the second amendment?

@Nitedoc Of course not, as not all people from Africa are necessarily "black," although they are African. But take a look at his photo and you know that his genes are that of African descent. Yes, she dopes identify as both Asian-Indian and Black. She identified as black in that she went to an historic black college and joined a black sorority.

Yes you are entitled to your FIRST amendment rights of speech, but when you attack someone on the basis of their race, that is discriminatory, and I am entitled to my right to call it, repugnant, although allowed by law. Did you mean to state am I familiar with the second amendment? Was that a not so veiled threat?
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@samueltyler2 No threat, I meant the first amendment. pertaining to free speech, as i stated. I don't hide behind veiled threats. I willing to agree to disagree on this matter and leave it behind us. Your call now.

@Nitedoc you exhaust me
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@samueltyler2 I told you I was willing to put this behind us and not speak of this again.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Nitedoc repeat.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@samueltyler2 I'm at a loss. I expected more out of you.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Nitedoc I won't waste my time on you.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@samueltyler2 Repeat.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Nitedoc I don't believe it is worth east ng my time.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@samueltyler2 No problem. You see, I'm not judgemental. I don't even have any hard feelings against you.
