Did you see the CNN clip where a white reporter interviewed black men at a barbershop? They said she isn’t black, then the CNN spun it that they were low information voters. Classic CNN “journalism”.

This is a PURE media red herring distraction, diverting attention from Harris's extreme radical leftist ideology. Playing the race card is the media's stock and trade.

That was a label used in my youth often attached to a dark-skinned person who dressed neatly, got good grades, and spoke articulately. Or had white friends. i had so hoped we'd advance past that kind of self-deprecating bigotry.

"spoke articulately"? That requirement just eliminated 97% of all students of every race, down through history, according to their parents.

Fair point. I suppose "with something resembling correct grammar" is more accurate. ;-)

It's kind of interesting that her father has said he identifies as Jamaican. I read something (can't remember where right now) in which he said he does not identify as "black" or as "African". Her mother was born in India, which at 1.5 billion people makes her hardly a minority in the global community ;-). Harris is in fact the first Jamaican-Indian-American to run for the office of president, as far as I know. Which for me is neither qualifying nor disqualifying.

A good friend who is first generation US born of Jamaican parents identified as "American". One time someone asked him if he preferred the label "black" or "African-American"; he said he preferred the label his parents gave him (his given name). And asked why he needed any other label? I'm still waiting to hear a good answer to that question. If only we could evaluate political candidates based on their record of performance instead of skin color, location of reproductive parts, or party affiliation.

For the sake of the narrative, she is most certainly black, because she represents Kali (of the Kali Yuga) whose face is always either black or blue. She is the great goddess of destruction.

CNN seems to be staffed and run by space aliens from the planet Psycho. However, these are not your typical greys or reptilians. These are Arachnos - spider beings - who spin incredibly complex and sticky webs that ensnare truth and logic and turn them into brain poison. Hey, makes as much sense as the crap they are unloading on us!

We know this much: She had no moral qualms about marrying a man who was carnally cavorting with his children's nanny. (That story - a non-scandal - disappeared in a hurry didn't it?)

A couple of questions:

When did Kamala know Joe Biden had dementia?

And when did she know her boyfriend and future husband cheated on his wife for years with his kids' nanny?

We're told this little event was "vetted" by Team Biden in 2020, but I don't know about that. If it was, it was deemed "no big deal."

Also, who got this nanny a fancy job at a company affiliated with Amazon? How can she afford a $1.4 million home in the Hamptons?

Data point: Last night at 10pm, walking home in my ultra blue neighborhood, a "gansta black dude" with radio blaring drove by, windows down, shouting, "TRUMP 24! TRUMP 24!". I turned towards him, saw his beaming face and MAGA hat. Raised my fist above my head with thumbs up. He replied with a hearty, gleeful laugh.

Well, to use the extra wordcount language of the ethnic studies crowd--she is not a descendant of any person who had been enslaved in America.

She is an American whose parents immigrated here from two different parts of the world, and via her father she is of both enslaved and enslaver descent.

But a black woman she is not. Just as Barack Obama is not a black man. They are mixed-race Americans.

Expand full comment
Amos's avatar

I was thinking about that same thing. It seems like Obama was easily accepted as black. Maybe because he identified himself as black, was active in the black community, and married a black American woman? Did those things give him more cred? He was definitely raised by a white family, and if you believe in white privilege, he had it.

SCA's avatar

In my view these are two people with no inner selves. In early adulthood they decided to market themselves as American blacks which they are not. They recognized the status that would give them with a certain type of white liberal who is too stupid to know that not all American black people are obliged to speak with a certain dialect cadence and vocabulary. See: Condoleeza Rice, southern girl, who does not need to performatize vocal mannerisms.

It is sad to be so empty. Political power and money have not filled these two up.

I don't know why "nigger" has become an epithet. It is a bastardization of "Nigerian", which is where a large part of the slave trade came from. It lasted until the 1950s or so. Most of the trade went to the Middle East and Asia. People were simply calling the blacks by their country name. It wasn't an epithet anymore than "Mexican" is.

"Epithet" my friend. Although it would probably be an epitaph for Kamala if she spoke the word in some of the diverse precincts in my urban Texas area.

Thanks for the correction. And Texas isn't the only place it is taken as an insult. But I don't buy this "we can say it and you can't" nonsense from blacks or anyone else.

It also stems in English more from black than the country; the Brits seemed to use the same word for Indians as well, not just Nigerians or Africans.

As an English woman, I have to say we call Indians and Pakistanis wogs. Western Oriental Gentlemen. ‘Wog’ is very much verboten here in rioting U.K., however. Doesn’t nigger come from the romantic languages word for black? I’ve never heard the idea that it comes from Nigerian - I think most people who owned or knew of slaves would have no idea and would care even less which particular African county the blacks came from. Was that country even called Nigeria in slaving days? I really don’t know.

I want to know why it's OK to call them black in English but not black in Spanish. I have honestly never understood that. As a POC myself (which designation I detest), I find some of this racial stuff just mind boggling.

But I am kinda different. I actually believe that white is a color!

Sorry, I meant in the 19th century, not current day, but neglected to say so. Never heard wog though… I had mostly come across “Paki”.

Marion's avatar

My father was in the army for the whole of WW2 and was in India, the Middle East, South Africa and Italy. He called brown people wogs, as did all the adult men I knew as a child (I’m 62). I think the word isn’t used much now, it’s very offensive I suppose - at least as offensive as nigger, I would imagine. Italians were called wops; my father loved the Italian prisoners of war, and learnt Italian from them. He wasn’t at all racist and tried to help the very poor Pakistani men who worked in the slaughter houses in our hometown by giving them our grown-out-of clothes for their children. I will always remember him talking about one of these men, ‘poor Ali,’ with great compassion. This was in the late 1960s; Ali’s descendants still wear Pakistani dress and still live in self-imposed segregation; since around 2000 the women have started to wear Arab-Muslim dress, head to toe black, even face covering, rather than the colourful saris they wore back in the 60s.

Yea, it is a bit frustrating how normal short names for groups, which are usually not inherently offensive, drift into being considered offensive over time for seemingly no other reason than someone used it in a negative context once.

Why would English speakers use a Spanish word when they could just say, "black"?

Doctor Hammer's avatar

Derives from negro, from “negroid” the old timey Latin term used for African looking races, as I understand it. Western Europeans use Latin sources words all the time for things, along with Greek.

JUST MAYBE it's become an epithet because of the historical bitterly abusive experiences suffered by many millions of Southern black folks.

You know: being screamed at as a nigger while their churches were burned down, their menfolk strung up by raving racist KKK swine, their families being denied normal human treatment... etc.

As opposed to what black murderers and rapists scream to their white viticims, down the centuries.

Or you're unaware of that blacks from Africa kidnapped and enslaved far more whites, than vice-versa?

Love your essays, Gatito, but this Kamala skin color thing is such nonsense. Harris barely offers the same dried kibble (fake food for those non-gato lovers) as the rest of the uniparty.

Skin color and all the rest is an ugly side show to keep the plebes distracted.... a nasty hairball of the DNC/RNC-Military/Pharma/IndustrialAg big money complex awaiting expulsion. And you know, that bile-y crap is really hard to get out of the carpet.
