Wait….why is Kamala’s “BLACKNESS” questioned and OBAMA got a pass?

[AngryBaby]

This is just factually not true. Black people were calling Kamala out for claiming shes black in 2019 before she was ever on trumps radar

Which black people? Most of us when she was vp, was like "cool, first black/half black vp" that's it. The majority of us.

Michelle and the kids did a lot to legitimise his blackness.

Came through Chicago. Went to a black church.

Kamala went to a HBCU - that’s one of her saving graces. But the white husband, no kids, doesn’t look so good. The Obamas look great.

Revisionist history like a mfer

Obama was BLACK. It was not a question…unless you’re talking about white folk’s opinion Bc amongst black folk he
was universally regarded as black. Outliers here and there dont matter

This new awakening and definition of black wasn’t until 1) Obama made it clear he was gonna treat being POTUS as a colorless position, and 2) People saw Black Panther and birthed the ADOS movement

The reason dudes would like to be revisionist is to mask how utterly ridiculous, hypocritical, and amateur hour they look

Exactly

Even now this is being spurred on by WHITE folks. And they are hoping idiot nikkas will react to it, so they can divide. And alot of you thirsty nikkas that use blackness as an identity booster for your self worth, fall for that shyt.

She looks far more black than Indian. At the end of the day, that's what generally it comes down to. Let's be real. Same went for Barrack. What do you fukking look like.

The informed black people. Most black people don’t care about politics deeper than a superficial level.

I mean, do you understand the racial history of America? Or were you just born yesterday?

Do you have an answer to the question? Or were your parents siblings?

It's because Obama came up in the South Side of Chicago (granted, by way of Hyde Park, but we'll still say the South Side) and got mollywhopped by Bobby Rush for being unrelatable and looked at as an outsider. So he really had to learn how to package himself in arena's where you have to win over black people.

Kamala Harris came up in fukking San Francisco and stood next to the most powerful kingmaker in the city. She didn't have to learn how to package herself at any point in her political career in any arena where you have to win over black people. Even as a Presidential candidate she's again in the position she's in because she stood next to Joe Biden and her potential Presidential win will most likely come as the result of not being Trump.

So she doesn't have to learn any of the lessons Barry had to learn to become Barack and Barack got to learn those lessons before he went national. So even if she does, she's still making these changes at a different time than Barack did.

Op has a point. People were questioning his eligibility. Birther movement n such. The questioning of his Blackness began second term after the sentiment that he didn't have brehs backs first term.

Technically it was spurred by Tariq's minions and then whites latched on to exploit the divide.

Maybe it's because I was a kid when he was elected, but I never heard anyone question Barack's blackness. There was the birther thing later on but that was only white people who did that. And there were a few instances of people implying he was an arab Muslim ( like when Hilary's camp put out that photo of him in a turban) but that again was white people and that never really caught any traction.

Most black people didn't support him at first, but that was more because people assumed a black man had no chance of winning, not because they didn't think he was black.

Frankly, the difference between then and now is that if the opposition or a public figure said something like that back in the day, it would've just made them look dumb. People have less shame these days + political/cultural overton window is in a completely different place now.

You sound stupid as fukk like op.

You don't know wtf was going on when Obama was running.

I don't need to answer the question. You clearly have no common sense or just trying to start strife with that question.

Why do y’all get mad at Tariq for calling y’all tethers but y’all constantly find a way to bring that man up in every single thread. Y’all are obsessed with Tariq nasheed

People were calling out Kamala’s dishonesty about her identity in 2019.

How would an Ethiopian from Canada know anything about the conversations Black America is having? His entire lens of what's going on is painted by what he reads on twitter/watches on youtube/reads on thecoli. That's how easily these goofies come out themselves talking about shyt they have no idea about. Goofy said Tariq Nasheed.
