as evidenced by the faux outrage about the Olympics and now this.

They are truly intellectually challenged.

and claiming "Nowhere on her birth certificate does it say that she is BLACK OR AFRICAN. "

Well, there are a few white Jamaicans; but if you put it down as "color or race", everyone in the world knows that's Black. So that's a bizarre take on things. Or should I say weird?

What's more surprising is that her mother's "color or race" is given as "Caucasian". But how people from India were called in the early 60s in the US, I don't know.

What does it matter whether she’s black or not? Or if she’s of another ethnicity?

How about policy, character and record? Let’s talk about that instead.

For driving up margins in minority communities. These geniuses really think that African Americans will abandon her.

but it just pissed me off even more. As if that were possible.

Ah well, time for another donation to Kamala. And check your voter registrations. Now until November. Because

The more it looks like they're in trouble, the HIGHER the certainty that Trump and his MAGAts will try to STEAL IT.

Kamala Devi Harris was born in Oakland, California, on October 20, 1964. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biologist whose work on the progesterone receptor gene stimulated advances in breast cancer research. Shyamala had moved to the United States from India as a 19-year-old graduate student in 1958.
