Someone answer this...how does Kamala and Obama...

[shopthatwrecks]

...a half-Kenyan president raised in Hawaii and Indonesia by a white woman, and a barely half-Jamican vice president raised in Canada by an Indian woman represent black folks with ancestry in this country?

I'm with you. But, this is gonna be the primary and Hilary all over again.

Nobody remembers all the great critique of Hilary and it's all about sexism and "bu..bu..emails."

I legit believe they will win. So, I'm on their asses all four years to get an actually good candidate.

We have to be strategic in politics.

Hell, her Dad could be from Detroit, from every thing I've heard she never really had a relationship with her Jamaican/Black side. Just like "Barry." But, I want her fukked up career to be the number one thing people talk about (minus the Willie Brown gossip).

She has a white husband....that is a no go...can't preach racial equality while married to a White Supremacist....

Republicans love saying how Ben Carson, or Herman Cain (RIP) should have been the first black president, but you see how they did in the primaries.

Herman Cain was a legit front runner until the metoo brigade came out to attack him

 

[Cat piss martini]

I can understand why whites are concerned with identifying who is not white. What benefit is there to you propping up their ideologies?

Whites created modern groupings of race based on skin color. Even believing you are black and that means you are the same as other blacks in America let alone around the world is based on white ideology of figuring out who isnt white.

Why doesn't anyone find it weird that neither of them had a Black mother?

Because J.Cole doesn't and I never heard anyone call him a white man

At least Barack went to Chicago after Harvard and put in work in the community also his pastor was Jeeremiah Wright man he know how the game works

Barack never had any significant ties to the African American community before Michelle.

Kamala does.

For some black people, those ties makes her more "culturally authentic" than Barack despite his marriage to Michelle.

I think the cultural one upmanship folks are trying to play is silly. Kamala went to an HBCU, Barack didn't. Barack married a black wife, Kamala married a white husband. Kamala pledged a black sorority, Barack didn't. Barack went to Chicago, Kamala went to Oakland. Kamala joined a prestigious black civic and social organization. Barack didn't.

Both have enough black cultural signifiers that it's going to appease one group and maybe not the other.

However folks in this thread may feel, her black cultural signifiers appeases the segment of the black community with the most clout.


It is what it is....

Barack didn't have any of these until Valerie Jarrett got involved.

now biden has a bedwench...

How is she a bedwench, I thought she wasn't Black

Can someone clarify the narrative please?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

This is how it works.

90% white + 10% black=Black
99% Asian + 1% black=Black
Any% of any race + 1% black=BLACK

That is completely stupid and boarder line pathetic

 

[gangreen]

Well we need to uplift them.

We can start with Hakeem Jefferies.



Im surprised he hasnt gotten more exposure nationally.

 

[Yaboysix]

I don’t think it’s keeping ADOS out so much as keeping people related to former presidents in...


I don’t know, but I can bet Kamala is related to a bush somewhere down the line... or the Queen of England lol

you know how they get down...Gotta keep it it the family...

 

[shopthatwrecks]

How is she a bedwench, I thought she wasn't Black

Some good points raised in this thread.

How do we define black, but more importantly why have whites been allowed to define it, whether it be through the one drop rule or otherwise? It's wild how much the line has been blurred to the point where some folks will accept anyone as black so long as they're viewed as a "nikka" by cacs.

If you are using the term black you are using something that whites came up with.

Great point

So how do we push back against this. Cause this racial goal post they setup gets moved around in whichever way benefits them. And the scope of black keeps expanding but actually representing less of us.
