There’s a serious war going on right now regarding Kamala Harris blackness and her lineage

I love how people are playing dumb saying that people are saying she’s not black. She’s not ADOS. She has little chance in winning and might as well drop out.

Donald trump Jr right now

EXACTLY and I refuse to be a pawn.

This why it was pertinent that Obama had a black spouse. All these struggle ADOS arguments apply to him tenfold. In what world is a Kenyan American from Hawaii who attended white colleges more “Black” than a Jamaican American from Oakland who attended the premier black college in the country. All of this is just bitterness that she has a white husband. So it was smart for Obama to know better in not trotting a white chick out there. Because that muthafukka was just as much of an interloper and if y’all keeping everything consistent, you’re basically saying Obama shouldn’t have been elected and that attitude would get you cut out here in real life And if you bitter that a Kenyan American and a Jamaican American were the first two choices put in front of you as the “Black” candidate, tell your fellow Black #ADOS politicians to step their game up. Because Cory Booker ain’t it. And Kamala was just a Poli Sci student from Howard that became a prosecutor. There’s been millions of black women that graduated Howard, Spelman and Hampton. That’s on them for not making it to that level.

@Reece I don't understand what you are arguing and why it bothers you that black Americans want to define themselves like every other group does. you are making nonsensical arguments.

Black Americans have 500+ years of entrenched history in the US, a Nigerian/Ghanian/Jamaican/etc...have no claim to the history that they have built prior to immigration of foreign black groups.

Second; Kamala Harris isn't black, her dad is indo-jamaican perhaps mixed with a splash of black blood at best. I don't know why some black people want her to make her black so bad. Besides she has no rooted history in the US. It is time for black Americans to call for black American leaders to speak on their behalf.

Black Americans are not unique, if a British immigrant came up in politics and started to be representative of the country white America would have a problem with that too. People prefer politicians that share a history with them that can represent them and lead them to their desired objectives. Black Americans are not unique in that.

Its funny that some African posters on here want to wag their fingers at AADOS but can't seem to address/sort out the tribalism in their respective countries. Please, I hate hypocrisy, I am glad Black Americans are waking that everybody black ish don't work and is counterproductive.

Foreigner blacks who are truly aligned with Black Americans support this movement because they know it's to their benefit to do so and create an alliance for each respective group to make gains rather than tear each other down.

A lot of African immigrants attack ADOS/AA nationalism because they see it as a threat to their own interests, including their ability to mascarade as AA and mimic AA's culture ... But they, of course, hide behind a nebulous "black unity" idea.

With this logic Obama shouldn’t have been elected. Y’all idiots would’ve been trying to get people to vote for Hilary if y’all were around back in 2008

 

[Nigerianwonder]

Still no receipts for these claims.

Music and hip hops non ados pioneers have already been discussed from biggie to kool herc.

If you wanna talk civil rights you gotta talk malcom x, belafonte, Garvey, stockley Carmichael, farrakhan etc..

If you wanna talk arts and entertainment then you gotta talk the godfather of black American cinema sidney poitier.

I have yet to see you list anything to support your argument other than generalizing.

 

[IVS]

All I know is Native American groups were quick to let Warren know she wasn't with them and no one had a problem with it. There's no way if Kamala was the child of a Native Ecudorian and a top of the caste Indian, trying to run as an OG Native American, would folks be allowed to say "well she's partly native to the western hemisphere, it's all the same "

PREACH!

 

[Standing on business]

EXACTLY and I refuse to be a pawn.

This fool Trump Jr, who’s a damn white supremacist, said Harris aint black enough to speak in black issues. And fools started attacking the people who defend her. You would think they would’ve just sat this one out considering a white supremacist is at the root of all this.

Lol at you believing it was hard work for Kamala. If you follow politics you would know why Kamala made it this far. Shorty literally fukked her way to the top ( willie Brown), that is universally known.

The only reason Barack has the opportunity to become a senator was because his ADOS wife accepted the role of being the breadwinner while he worked as a community organizer. It got so bad Michelle was calling herself a single mother.

What a sad group of people. We will not get anywhere until we are all on the same page and I don't see that ever happening.

Trump is a white devil and he shouldn't be speaking on this

However, people said this long before Trump opened his mouth

Kamala was originally anti-reparations

Her mama is Indian
Her daddy is Jamaican
Her husband is white

Makes sense

If she wanted to be taken seriously by blacks across the board then she should have had enough common sense and foresight to marry a black man

Obama (allegedly) knew he had to marry a black woman if he wanted a career in politics

Black folks ain’t gonna blindly follow a biracial person with a white spouse

If you’re the best candidate, then cool, we will vote for you

Blind support though? Nah

 

[Yaboysix]

This what folks arguing bout now? Who really black? Wow

She's created a problem for herself because she doesn't talk about the majority of her heritage
which is Indian. Her mom is a full Indian from India and her dad is a mixed-race, upper crust Jamaican.

Kamala plays up her prob 1/4 Sub Saharan African DNA for political purposes, rather than just honestly
celebrating all of her background, which is Indian mostly, then a mix of European and African.

And where was her white husband at the debate?

Okay why haven’t ADOS politicians fukked their way to the top then? Nobody gave a shyt about Michelle being ADOS. That wasn’t even a term back then.
