This race baiting nonsense is nasty. I agree. Kamala is half white, half Indian ...

Interestingly ALL of the debunking of some of these outrageous claims just trot out the same old "conspiracy theorist" rhetoric ... and offers no evidence ...

So yeah, it looks quite spectacularly unbelievable
According to the New York Times, these are her parents:

From:

If that's her father
&
If it's not been photoshopped

Then he's not particularly white.

And if he's sufficiently black to not be white, then your post qualifies as nasty and conspiracy theorist.

The NYT might be wrong; if so, please post evidence.

Evidence Hoss? Alt-right smear campaigns aren't erm, necessarily, based on evidence. Repetition makes things true. Fact. :thumbup:

(Oh, and you don't necessarily have to believe any of it to be a willing recruit to the merry band of propagators, just join 4Chan or Gab and cut, paste and post as fast as your fingers/mouse will allow).

Calm your tits boys, I couldn't give a flying fuck what colour someone is. Kamala apparently does which is why she is lying about her ancestry in order to garner votes from the black community.

Since we're on a picture hunt, here is "a" picture of Kamala with her grandmother.

Difficult to say if that is even the same person, let alone whether or not it's her grandmother who would have been long dead before the first photo.

Yes I can see all of the extraordinary claims on both sides debunking this and fact checking that and it just leaves me with more questions than answers. I honestly don't know what to believe except "honesty" is the last thing Kamala is concerned with in her desperation to appeal to the black voter.

Look guys, it's quite simple. If a man can identify as a woman or a woman as a man, then Kamala can identify as Indian, African, Jamaican or even Martian as the whim takes her. You're just being mean. :(

If you already 'are' something, then identifying as it is a lot easier :lol:

I know I am.
But I've got Irish and black friends, just to take two examples (and in neither case 1st generation), who are understandably rather more picky about their heritage being disputed than I am about mine.
Yes, that's my experience too. It's a touchy subject if approached insensitively. I mentioned the trans racial issue as it has become quite the issue in the US of A regarding people claiming native American Indian heritage. There's land and funds available for these genuine indigenous folk. The interview also included a young man who thought his nose was unusually broad, so he had fillers to plump his lips and used some Mabelline foundation to darken his skin to trans his race. I was both intrigued and saddened.
We live in interesting times.

But that's not really how it works - hence the 'not black / indian / white enough' statements you hear all the time - in practice unfortunately you're neither one or the other. Her racial heritage is more muddled than most but it's relatively clear, she's hardly saying she's Inuit, so you'd expect a politician to at least show some empathy and understanding for their ethnic roots given that everyone is suddenly so fecking interested. It's a short walk from 'I have Jamaican ancestry' to ' ... lying about her ancestry in order to garner votes from the black community' apparently.

So you're at it again. Editing my post so you can make some snarky comment regarding the subselection of words you have chosen rather than the meaning of my original post.

Here is what I said: "I couldn't give a flying fuck what colour someone is. Kamala apparently does..." That is the thrust of my argument, Kamala is making a big song and dance about how black she is, not me. I am merely observing how this changed over the years, the ambiguity and lies by omission in her autobiography (where the white side of her family has been blackwashed out of existence and a few candidates for "grandmother" inserted). She also takes on a weird affected accent from ghetto black to Jamaican depending on the audience.

This is an extremely dangerous time for the world, let alone America who are just itching for a decent war. Congrats to Kamala for literally sleeping her way to the top but even a puppet needs to have some semblance of authority and political statemanship. Kamala is an empty suit. What's she going to do when she is faced with some real political adversaries? Offer to give Putin or Xi a blowjob?

My grandmother was born in Dublin when my great-gd was stationed there as part of the British Army garrison in 1913. So, yes, proper Paddy me - if i want to be. :D

I tend to agree. Really I just think she is overegging the pudding. It is literally the only thing she has: She is a (real) woman [tick], she is or claims to be black [tick] and she is not Trump [tick]. That is literally why Biden picked her ("I am going to have a black woman as my VP" was his promise remember). That is all she has got. She is ticking the DEI boxes. Let me know if I missed anything.

Interviewer: "What are you going to do differently from your years in office with Biden?"
Kamala: "Nothing comes to mind"

Her answer says it all...

Judging by the way her accents change depending on who she's talking to, she sounded like a Southerner old white KKK member in Georgia a few days ago.

Harris just flip flopped on fracking again.
First she was for banning it.
Then she was against it when she entered the race for POTUS
Now she's for banning it again

You need to get out more instead of absorbing this shit all day every day.
It's an election not the coming of green men in space ships. In a few years there'll be another, nothing will change.

That sounds more like a change of emphasis, probably due to a change in audience, rather than a flip flop.
