sepiasis2002 Where does it say she is black on the birth certificate. It doesn't. Keep selling lies and Black folks is voting Trump. She never was one of us.
SayHisName Cannon Hinnant
Except her ancestors owned slaves....
She’s also the first Vp pick to go to an English public highschool in Quebec whilst not having a parent who attended English high school in Canada meaning she was so entitled that she was above the law and was allowed to attend the school despite the law.
This was a black woman. She hid her race for most of her life. White people made up the rule about what it was to be black. One drop of black blood they said. They had to. White men raped so many black women & didn't want the children to be thought of as white & be set free.

The political coup by the HBU sorority class, & corner stone of the upcoming Dem strategy against America: historically oppressed black women vs systematically racist white men. Elite White fraternities bad vs. Elite Black sororities good. If you don’t vote Kamala, then racist

Black activists praise Biden's pick of Harris, but warn challenges remainDemocratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his running mate showed his commitment to Black voters, African-American activists said, but they warned it would not guarantee him the support he needs to win. TRHLofficial I really don't recall her doing much of anything as a senator or attorney general for the Black community. Well yeah, but progress is progress. As long as, in your goals, you don't get complacent, not too confident in newly gained ground. Balance of strength and diplomacy, hard and soft power. But happy for the first step in this shitty year
