Is Vice President Kamala Harris black or not? This is such a dumb question but the Internet is debating it anyway.
Harris’ father was Jamaican-American and her mother was Indian. She is mixed race. Republicans have accused her of playing up her races when it suits her. President Trump on Wednesday said that Harris “happened to turn black” recently.
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” he said.
Again, dumb question. If she wants to relate to people based on their skin color, let her try. One would hope that voters would not award points based on that but rather on the real issues such as the economy, crumbling border security, crime, child sex trafficking, foreign policy and civil liberties. When we hyper focus about race, we’re all losing.
