Yup. In his 1983 book "Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition", Cedric J. Robinson listed Kamala's MOTHER as one of the foundational influences who helped him to start the project of putting together the book. But try-hard Coli both-siders are in here trying to claim that Kamala's family didn't have a background in Black culture solely because Trump told them to talk about it.
People who have literally never lifted a single finger for Black causes in the real world are trying to talk shyt about something they know nothing about.
Total, utter lie that you only repeat because Trump's minions told you to. Kamala has claimed Black her entire life. I already pointed out to you that she:
1) Identified as Black as a child, lived in a predominantly Black neighborhood, attended a Black Baptist church, spent lots of time at the neighborhood Black community center, was bussed as a Black student
2) Her best friends were Black girls in high school
3) Went to a Black HBCU
4) Pledged a Black sorority
5) Became president of the Black Law Students Association in grad school
6) Dated prominent Black men in adulthood in the 1990s and 2000s
7) Won the Thurgood Marshall Award in 2005 from the Black Prosecutors Association
8) "What I suggest we do as African Americans is own this issue in law enforcement and then define it in the way that works for us because it is a myth, to say that African Americans don’t want law enforcement.” - from a 2006 conference of Black leaders on crime
9) From a 2007 article on Obama's candidacy: "The conversation highlights the lack of information that people in general have about African American contributions." Harris, who attended
Howard University, said many Americans -- of all social and racial backgrounds -- have a limited perception of black people. In college, she saw African American men and women in leotards studying ballet in the arts department, young women with briefcases in business school, African Americans in lab coats studying medicine and in street clothes protesting actions on Capitol Hill. "We are diverse and multifaceted," Harris said. "People are bombarded with stereotypical images and so they are limited in their ability to imagine our capacity."
10) Spoke as the featured speaker at Black Prosecutors Association events, including one she hosted in San Francisco in 2010
11) "I was the first woman elected, first African American woman elected, and Asian American elected in the state as a district attorney." - from a 2012 interview with The Wrap
12) Was a leader in the Black Congressional Caucus
13) “She had two Black babies, and she raised them to be two Black women.” - Kamala speaking about her mother in a 2016 NYT interview
14) “My mother understood very well that she was raising two black daughters. She knew that her adopted homeland would see Maya and me as black girls, and she was determined to make sure we would grow into confident, proud black women.” - From her autobiography
15) “I’m Black, and I’m proud of being Black. I was born Black. I will die Black, and I’m not going to make excuses for anybody because they don’t understand.” - 2019 interview
16) "For other people who can’t figure out am I ‘black enough,’ I kinda feel like that’s their problem, not mine. Maybe they need to go back to school to figure it out. And maybe they need to learn about the African diaspora and maybe they need to learn about a number of other things.” - From another 2019 interview
17) "It affects everything about who I am,” she said. “Growing up as a black person in America made me aware of certain things that, maybe if you didn’t grow up black in America, you wouldn’t be aware of.” - Yet another interview
18) “When you’re at an HBCU, and especially one with the size and with the history of Howard University — and also in the context of also being in D.C., which was known forever as being ‘Chocolate City’ — it just becomes about you understanding that there is a whole world of people who are like you. It’s not just about there are a few of us who may find each other.” - Yet another interview
19) "On January 20, 2021, Kamala Harris was sworn in as Vice President – the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected to this position." - the very first line in her official White House bio since 2021.
20) “I grew up in a community where it was an extended family of people who told all of us as children [that] we were young, gifted, and Black." - Kamala at the 2024 Essence Fest
The claim that she only recently claimed Black or has tried to hide it at any point in her life is completely bullshyt. There were articles out when she ran for Senator about how it was the first time that many in San Francisco's Indian-American community found out she had any Indian background, as until then most of them (even the politically active ones) had just been thinking of her as the Black district attorney of San Francisco.
what does meeting at the afro american club have to do with anything with donald harris being indian/south asian with a jamaican nationality?
