Where my people come from, you are what your father is. So to me, she's a Jamaican American who's black.
Anyway, this identity hand ringing over Kamala not being black enough, or her being married to a white guy, not having any black children, etc doesn't matter to me. It's about what she'll do when she has actual power. In California, it was wielding power against the powerless rather than the powerful. Does she want to govern? This point gets lost in all these TLR threads about Kamala not being black.
I'd say she's better for Biden to pick than Susan Rice. Rice was part of the Libya fiasco, Yemen disaster, among other big foreign policy failures under the Obama administration. Liberal interventionists routinely invoke 'responsibility to protect' and think every country is Rwanda in the mid 1990s. Plus, Rice has never been elected to anything.
