Sad that we still have to - or choose to - differentiate people by colour of their skin. Just shows how little we have really progressed.
As a black man I find it offensive that anyone not white is called black. Kah-mah-lah is not black. Whatever she is it is not black. That term "POC" (People of Colour) is a euphemism for "other" which lumps all non-white people in the bargain bin of "other races". I find that extremely unacceptable
So if Kamala can be considered black, why reasonably cant she be considered Indian, and I would argue that Obama can be considered white if he can be considered black. I feel this is only logical.
Because racial classification isn't logical to begin with. "Coloured" in South Africa is as much a cultural identity as it is a racial identity. "Colored" in the US is a pejorative term for Black Americans, and many Americans of mixed-race simply refer to themselves as Black.
So if person of mixed race ie colored, achieves significance or greatness, the woke people of the world and blacks, lay claim to their blackness. Its false.
It took until the Supreme Court in the Loving v. Virginia decision of 1967 for the "One Drop Rule" to be overturned in the USA. So yes, in their eyes, one drop of black blood made you black. Called hypodescent. Look it up.
At best Indian Jamaican but certainly not black.
Kamala Harris isn't black. She's Indian.
