Kamala Harris becomes the first black woman

We are now officially unburdened by what has been.

 

her birth cert says Caucasian but she is part black, part white but mostly Indian

 

Following in the footsteps of four white guys starting with John C. Breckinridge in 1861, not to mention in Richard Nixon in 1961, Al Gore in 2001 and Mike Pence in 2021.

 

At the time she was born Indians were considered Caucasian (her father was a black Jamaican, her mother was Indian) . If she was born in a Southern state under Jim Crow laws she would have been considered Black. The fact that one of her father's ancestors was a white slaveowner is more or less irrelevant given that African-Americans are by definition black in fact the terms are interchangeable even though the overwhelming majority of black Americans can trace their lineage to a white slaveowner.

 

She did what the law required and didn’t whine about it.

kudos to her

 

She was the first black women to lose a presidential election to a criminal. Must have been a horrible candidate

 

She was a bad candidate to enough people to lose the election.

Still, she performed her duty, followed the law and didn’t whine about it.

 

Good thing the duties didn’t include reciting the pledge of allegiance

 

Agree

 

This was the first election since 1988 where a Republican won and the Democrats didn't try to overturn the results on the floor of Congress.

 

You forgot about 2004 when George W. Bush was elected and in the case of the 2000 and 2016 elections a small number of Democrats voted against certifying the elections as a form of protest hardly a serious attempt by the party to overturn the results of those elections in contrast to the 2020 election in which over one-third of the Republicans in the Senate and a majority of Republicans in the House voted against certifying the results of the election.

 

Sadly, mostly due to rape

 

kammie is not even 50% black

 

Her race is whatever is most advantageous to her

 

Biden’s team had Trump getting 400 electoral votes. Dems had to grab somebody.

 

And she still lost.

 

I think we make too much of someone’s race or gender. We are all equal in my mind.

 

The group that whines about identity politics are always the first ones to bring it up

 

Not always.
