Is Kamala Harris an African-American?

[TheIndianGirl]

There have been a lot of articles yesterday and today on whether Kamala Harris is African-American. Any views? She is half Indian and half Black (Jamaican); both parents are immigrants. It really depends on how one defines African-American. How do you define African-American? One of my bosses is a Moroccan immigrant and he recently won this leadership training awarded to African-Americans. I am fine with this definition - anyone with origins to Africa living in the U.S. is an African American.

I think Kamala is both African African and Indian American. However, more accurately she is biracial or multiracial rather than one or the other. In the end, it really doesn't matter to most people, though some people have been very vocal in saying she is not African-American.

No, I wouldn't call her African American, but that's the least of what would bother me about her. But I won't take your thread off road.

She is half Indian and half Black (Jamaican)

Jamaicans are NOT African Americans, and being half Indian means she is simply a Jamaican masquerading as a Black American to garner votes.

But the bottom line is that she is A WICKED WITCH whose only ambition is to promote herself, while destroying others (including Kavanaugh) and ultimately destroying America. She is evil personified and Biden is just a figurehead.

Honestly I don't think how we address her we would get in trouble. I listened to Tucker Carlson tonight this is a GREAT story (in case you all haven't seen it) CNN literally tore him up for not pronouncing her first name correctly their story was "it was disrespectful"... I pronounced it the same way Tucker did. Kam-a-la. The correct way to say her name is (Calm-a-la)

OK the funny: Tucker's people found a tape of Biden from a couple days ago, he was giving his first speech with Kamala when he introduced her HE MISPRONOUNCED IT TOO ( not once but twice).Naming her identically to the way Tucker said her name. It was a kick.

I don't hyphenate American status. I will say Biden couldn't have picked a worse VP choice considering we have to look at her as the very real possibility of being the President. Nightmare!

Jamaicans are NOT African Americans, and being half Indian means she is simply a Jamaican masquerading as a Black American to garner votes.

This statement has got to be the most stupid thing I have ever heard. What utter rubbish.

The Dem on Tuckers show, can't remember his name, who called him on it said it's like comma. If I was interviewing him I'd say, apparently you don't know how to spell. Comma, com, not Kam. If that is how her name is pronounced her parents should have spelled it Comala not Kamala.

 

[TheIndianGirl]

She has an Indian first name. The Indian pronounciation for her name is ka-ma-la. None of the sylables are emphasized.

Why is it rubbish? Jamaicans are definitely NOT African Americans. Chances are Jamaicans would be highly offended for being identified as American blacks.

And since Harris does not meet the constitutional criteria for President or Vice-President, it is about time someone shipped this wicked witch back to Jamaica.

THIS IS BIG: Legal Expert Claims Kamala Harris Doesn’t Qualify for Vice Presidency – She’ll Have To Be Replaced

"But surprisingly Newsweek left this article up. The piece begins with this from Professor Eastman [emphasis added]:

The fact that Senator Kamala Harris has just been named the vice presidential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has some questioning her eligibility for the position. The 12th Amendment provides that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.” And Article II of the Constitution specifies that “[n]o person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of President.” Her father was (and is) a Jamaican national, her mother was from India, and neither was a naturalized U.S. citizen at the time of Harris’ birth in 1964. That, according to these commentators, makes her not a “natural born citizen”—and therefore ineligible for the office of the president and, hence, ineligible for the office of the vice president."​

It really depends on how one defines African-American. How do you define African-American?

Well, Greg Norman is an African American.........Gary Player is an African American......soooo

I believe that Biden called her a woman of color.

 

[FrankChatter]

The only thing that matters is she is competent - the exact opposite of the dope running as acting president.

Competent?

That's In the eye of the beholder.

Kamala Harris is unable to run this country, let alone her own personal life, her father who is a Stanford Professor has disowned her.

She is totally INcompetent! Look at her record in California! She only got chosen because she makes Biden look conservative in comparison. The democrats are just trying to straddle the fence. Trying to get votes from undecideds from the republicans. Trump has been one of the best presidents we've had! If you call yourself a Christian u would vote for Trump. The Democrats are against everything a Christian stands for as a follower of God!

I agree 100%!

Hard to believe President Trump has endured the almost 4 years of brutal punishment before the world to see, (A True Patriot and American Hero)

Looks like prosecutor John Durham has a guilty plea coming, on the corrupt FBI lawyer "Kevin Clinesmith" that changed info on the FISA warrant, just the tip of the iceberg on the Presedential witch hunt, Russia Gate.

This is too little and too late (once again). Also Durham is going after the little fish, while the big fish and the sharks are still on the loose, and doing a lot of damage. To me it looks like window dressing.

The first one on Durham's list should have been Barack Obama, and that should have happened two years ago. Obama was the mastermind, so why is Durham wasting time and money on the small fry?

Back to KH. She is incompetent, nasty, and will stop at nothing to destroy people and the Republic. Once again color is the only criterion, just like for Obama.

Little fish catch big fish

How many people has this FBI attorney thrown under the bus?

Trump has been fighting for survival, against the democrats and media for 4 years, while running a country.

Of course Jeff Sessions was a big Trump mistake, President Trump didn't see it coming, then Rosenstein in another bad FBI deep state insider selection.

Racist Biden is probably cringing at this decision (made by others). But color is now the sole criterion for the woke Leftists and Democrats. However if you want the truth about this Radical Jamaican-Indian Leftist, here it is:

Kamala Has Already Struck Out
By Janice Shaw Crouse

Even before the Democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden, named his choice for vice president, a group of Democrat Party activists released an unprecedented document outlining their "rules" for how the media could address issues surrounding the woman Biden ultimately chose. These guidelines made it abundantly clear that the media were "required" to handle Biden's choice with kid gloves.... Bottom line: Biden is in hiding; Kamala is untouchable.

This mafia-style intimidation cannot be allowed to stand. The public needs to know that Kamala's quest, as in baseball, has already struck out. She has three strikes against her that are a death knell for her prospects. There is no way, after these strikes, she should be anywhere near a heartbeat or a brain flare away from the presidency of America.

1. Opportunistic Career Path — We are not supposed to have noticed (or it's not supposed to make a difference or matter), but Kamala Harris came into politics as a mistress under the patronage of the notoriously unethical speaker of the House in California, Willie Brown. Numerous public servants in government in California at the time noted that Kamala was a pretty twenty-something young woman that Brown, a married man in his 60s, regularly showed off as his mistress at political events. She received prestigious, powerful, and profitable political appointments in state government and moved on from there. Anyone who brings up this opportunism is against her "ambition" and is trying to keep her "in her place." In short, anyone raising these well documented facts is both misogynistic and racist...

Harris has flip-flopped on issue after issue, depending on what's politically expedient. She excuses this inconsistency by saying being a prosecutor is, by its very nature, "controversial." As a prosecutor, she defended capital punishment, but she ran for office on an "anti–death penalty" platform. Her truancy policies were a problem; also her drug programs. She opposed police body cameras, claiming they disadvantaged blacks and minorities.

She was criticized for siding with police too often; now she is vocal about police "brutality." She is now very pro-LGBT and transgender issues and blames her previous inconsistency on staffers who disregarded her personal views.

She was against decriminalization of "sex work" before she suddenly advocated for criminalization. Same with marijuana; she was against it before flippantly claiming that marijuana brings joy and "we need more joy in the world." She's taken both sides on whether a convicted terrorist should be able to vote from prison!

2. Radical Woke Ideologies and Policies — Many analysts believe that Kamala Harris will be America's most radical left political candidate ever. She's consistently among the top two "most progressive" members of the Senate. She has been called one of the most radical-left politicians today; pick any pet woke cause, and Kamala will be farthest left! These policy positions are not only constitutionally problematic; they are also prohibitively expensive, with a price tag in the multiple billions of dollars!

Guns? Kamala supports extremist laws to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights. She advocates a wide array of increased gun control measures, including executive orders to implement problematic regulations.

Health care? Kamala co-sponsored Bernie Sanders's "Medicare for All" health insurance proposal. She wants to abolish all private health insurance, saying, "Let's eliminate all of that!" She strongly supports a single-payer system. Observers note that both her position and Biden's on the issue have solidified during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Education? Kamala attended all-white schools until she chose to attend Howard University. She passed the bar in 1990 and progressed as a prosecutor to become district attorney of San Francisco thanks to political muscle from her benefactor, Willie Brown. She advocates for free college and university education for all — especially for free tuition at historically black colleges and universities.

Immigration? Even as the daughter of (legal) immigrants from India and Jamaica, Kamala has repeatedly shown that she makes no distinction between the rights and privileges of a citizen and an illegal alien. Benefits, she claims, belong to citizens and non-citizens alike.

Environment? She joined forces with the socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York to require additional regulations on environmental policies.

3. Kavanaugh Hearings Debacle — The final strike is the most disgraceful. The way Kamala Harris treated Brett Kavanaugh at the 2018 confirmation hearings was the most disrespectful and vicious of the senators.

She stood out at the hearings for her deceitful questioning and the revolting tone of her accusations. She accepted the flimsiest of evidence in attacking Kavanaugh – for instance, the implausible and unsubstantiated accusation of gang rape — and praised an obviously "deceptively edited video" claiming that Kavanaugh opposed birth control, claiming that it was all about "punishing women."

Her extreme positions were so bad that she was actually called out by the left. Her attacks — called fear-invoking lies and possibly attempts at a presidential audition — were acknowledged as false and criticized by left-wing PolitiFact and her liberal hometown newspapers, The San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times. As President Trump said, she was, indeed, "extraordinarily nasty" to Brett Kavanaugh.

Guy Benson, Townhall political editor, described her Kavanaugh performance as "particularly demagogic, cynical and abysmal." In their excellent book, Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court, Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino detailed all the egregious procedural maneuvers Harris tried in her efforts to get Kavanaugh to commit perjury, as well as the fawning media coverage.

In a normal election, the veep choice would be relatively irrelevant, but Joe Biden is not a normal presidential candidate. At 77, "Gaffe-Prone Joe" Biden has said he'd be a "transitional" president, and it is generally acknowledged that he is more likely than other previous candidates to become (sooner rather than later) incapacitated or unable to serve more than one term.

Thus, Kamala must be viewed as a possible presidential contender. She fails on every measure — significantly! Leadership? She is obviously, much like Hillary, a ruthless opportunist willing to do or say whatever it takes to get ahead. Ideas/Policies? She can be swayed however the political winds are blowing at the time. Even her friends explain that she is "not ideological," meaning she doesn't take principled stances on important issues.

Experience? She has dramatically failed upward! The media have frequently acknowledged her "history of flip flopping and deceit."

What Kamala Harris offers in the veepstakes is a promise to promote a grab bag of assorted radical goals of every oddball progressive from Bernie to AOC to Obama and be an advocate for special constituencies — pro-abortion voters, instigators of the BLM movement's racism, gun control activists, and illegal aliens.
