So they had a Caucasian designation but didn’t have “Asian”?
So they didn’t have “black” as a race in the 1960’s?
Y’all have to stop
Black people who immigrated to America during Jim Crow/segregation immediately realized that the United States is a ethnostate where black Americans are second-class citizens subjected to targeted violence and systematic discrimination.They didn’t. Wasnt many here at the time.
I’m curious to know more about this. I’m going to do much more research but my cousin who is born here in the early 60s dad had Nigerian on his birth certificate. Racial and nationality designations weren’t defined like that in the 60s. By the time I was born in the 70s, my dad, although born in Nigeria, had black as his designation
You think they had designations for Indians before 1965?
shyt was extremely murky back then. A lot of those designations came after 1965 with the EEOC act
It's crazy my Jamaican roommate in the Marines had a heated discussion about this back in 99. He was telling me he's Jamaican not Black and I was telling him when them pigs pull you over you gonna be Black. Breh got out before me and I guess some crazy shyt happened to him because when I got out and we linked up he said "Chief" you was right.
Thecoli: Kamala is black because her father is Jamaican!
Kamala’s father: I ain’t black, I’m Jamaican
Kamala’s mother: I’m Caucasian
You dumb clown
Whatever works for you, because you won't be moved in light of facts, but @Matt504 already put in the work I intended to doBlack people who immigrated to America during Jim Crow/segregation immediately realized that the United States is a ethnostate where black Americans are second-class citizens subjected to targeted violence and systematic discrimination.
They took one look at how black Americans were treated and quickly tried to distance themselves by claiming their nationality as a race or simply lying as Kamala’s mother did. They weren’t “black” they’re “Jamaican” or “Nigerian”
Some of them changed their race to “black” after the progress made after the civil rights movement when it was safer especially when going to HBCUs because now they want to fit in with the negroes.

According to this census, the races were white, negro, Indian (American), japanese, Chinese, Filipino, other. I don’t think negro changed to black until post civil rights movement.
So her Indian mother chose to put Caucasian instead of “other” or even “negro” and her father put “Jamaican” instead of “negro”
Kamala was raised by her “Caucasian” mother. Why would she identify as black?
Do you have an actual point to make with this random twitter post or are you too stupid to do so?
Thecoli: Kamala is black because her father is Jamaican!
Kamala’s father: I ain’t black, I’m Jamaican
Kamala’s mother: I’m Caucasian
since when are clout chasing journals held to the same standards as presidential political opponents?Have you seen the "he's afraid to debate Kamala" rhetoric?
If nothing else, the NABJ interview put that idea to bed.
Someone had the bright idea to put him up against an all woman panel and now that he's dog walked them, you got Black people on twitter saying "they should have had Roland Martin (a man) up there"
They fumbled this shyt on so many levels that it's hard to keep track.
They should’ve had different ppl up there if they were gonna invite trump.
they tried to ambush him and went full crazy trump
now you have a former president saying something that a lot of black ppl thinking in the back of their minds about Kamala.
