: “Republicans are trying to pretend that Jamaica had no slaves just to pretend the first Black female VP nominee in US history isn’t really Black.”Harris’ pick has been celebrated in the U.S. by both Black Americans and Indian Americans, and more widely in India and Jamaica—an indication of the senator’s ability to appeal to a diverse audience. But this isn't the first time that conservatives have tried to discredit her candidacy based on her heritage.
, Harris is a “natural-born U.S. citizen” who is eligible for the presidency, and can succeed Biden if he were unable to serve a full term if elected.The remarks made about Harris are reminiscent of the “birther” movement that circulated conspiracy theories about President Barack Obama’s background and suggested he was ineligible to hold office.
The author is missing that the main reason she was picked was not her race but because she is darling of the deep pockets on in Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Follow the $$$
Did Steve Forbes die? I don’t see how a piece of crap article like this got through if Steve were still breathing and sentient.
Don’t be so American, she’s qualified has a good resume unlike the conservatives. If they brought this up in a regular setting HR would come a knocking.
Literally nobody cares about her skin color. It is, however, hilarious that the BLM defund the police crowd now has to vote for 2 of the 94 crime bill authors that mass incarcerated blacks in the first place
Heritage doesn't matter. Policy and values matter. We should be blind when looking at candidates and look at what they stand for.
She cannot be a black woman with an Indian mother. She is a Indian of mixed blood.
Such bs. This is why we are such a mess in the US.
No it hasn’t. Most conservatives could care less about the race of the pick. We just want the best available and most qualified
She is a communist snake that will betray America. The lockdown has all been to secure mail in voter fraud to steal the election and bring in communism. We will drag her out of the White House by force if we have to but we will never be compliant communists!
Lol.... she’s human at the end of the day!!
you mean her last place finish in primaries and dropping out?
Remember the days when Forbes wasn't another left-wing rag? Enjoy irrelevance.
Wasn't Obama biracial?
It’s complicated.
Poor, poor country where race of a VP candidate actually matters lool
Still voting biden but I hate her
It is funny that they're using this argument to comfort themselves.
No one cares except for the people that they picked her to pander to
US has had its 1st biracial president and now perhaps their 1st biracial VP. Piece meal until they eventually elect a 100% bonafide African American to top office.
😂😂😂 um the only spin here is this B tried to say she was Indian at one point and time and now she’s milking the fact that her skin is a diff color. Let’s be real folks.
With so much interracial marriage and mixing of different races in our society we shouldn't be concerned with a person's race. It seems only advantageous to claim one if it gets you an extra benefit or be able to claim the victim. It is sad
Where do you think Black people in Jamaica come from?
Forbes stop all this spin please
She’s a smart women and black. Two things Trump hates.
People don’t vote based on race or gender. They vote on policies and character, which Kamala Harris has neither. She is brash.
The GOP are just making a play for the Black vote by trying to discredit SenKamalaHarris as a charlatan.
Silly me, I just dont get it why is her race relevant.

No one decries the overt 'one drop of blood' racism in pigeon-holing a person of East Asian/Jamaican ancestry raised in Canada as black. And many say she's African-American. Wait, where have we seen something similar before?
More fake news
I think she will surely win the competition 🙂
She is on video calling herself Indian American.
wildestyearofyourlife
Yeah. No.
Because if anybody can determine somebody's Blackness, it's a White conservative 🙄
Is she the gal that claimed to be Native American? Or is this the one who slept her way to the top?
Her grandparents were slave owners when is she paying reparations?
Is this a serious headline?
