Sen. Kamala Harris is Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden's pick as his running mate — a choice that many are celebrating in India, where Harris' mother was from.Many Indians are tweeting support Wednesday for Kamala Harris, celebrating their connection to the new presumptive Democratic nominee for vice president, whose mother was from India., but she is also the first person of South Asian descent.
"This is a historical, transformational, and proud moment for... all women of colour, all Black women, and all South Asian women," Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra
Not really first...Angela Davis, Angela Walker, Rosa Clemente, etc. snopes GreenPartyUS
In 2016, Kamala Harris proudly proclaimed that she’s California’s “top cop”. How does that narrative sit with the anti-police protestors that she is Biden’s VP pick?
JusticWarrior22 Russian troll🤣🤣
Free Press, Free Press...for Biden / Harris that is. POTUS FoxNewsSunday WSJ
She was also rejected by Democrats in the primaries..
Keep digging and you will find that her family was one of the largest slave owners /traders in Jamaica.
Hmmmm she has always blocked denied California Tribes/1st Peoples from returning Tribal Lands stolenMaiduTerritory landback dotnotfeatherracist kamelaharris notmyvice
I guess this is as black as we'll ever get.
Her and Nikki Haley in a hot 69 genderfriendly porn flick. Which one would chew the other's ****s out first?
Too many people confuse being aggressive with having brains. Kamala is a Sarah Palin type of a selection in a much worse direction.
How will she respond to protests for racial justice? I hope somebody bothers to ask her since I’m sure grass roots organizers will never be given the chance.
NPR you should check out and confirm facts before posting fake and misinformation. I believe you posted with malicious intent the statement about Kamala Harris being an African American. How you are not insolvent is a big wonder. NPR=FAKE NEWS
Kamala has the Indian, Black, Jamaican, White, Legal, Woman, Dem, Disgruntled Rep and LGBT vote. Pence has the mayonnaise vote.
Black woman*
Looks like TRUMP just put another nail in the Democratic Party's PRESIDENTIAL campaign with Trump brokering a huge peace deal between UAE & ISRAEL. THE PEACE SIGNING WILL BE HELD AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
IT LOOK'S LIKE OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP HAS JUST MADE HUGE HISTORY WITH THE PEACE DEAL BETWEEN THE UAE AND ISRAEL. ALSO EXCHANGING DIPLOMATIC EMBASSIES
She is a Trojan Horse. Dont be fooled America!!
And from a slave owning family! Did you forget that part?
SAY HIS NAME, CANNON
Can maybe be the first to experiment without all the labels? First this, first that. The longer we put ‘different’ labels on people, the longer we’ll all be viewed as different.
I don’t care about this only is she up 4 job
Highly doubt it. She’s been an authoritarian as a prosecutor.
What color?
DefundNPR
Must be where the hate for black men she viscously locked up originated.. try being black in India
That’s qualifications there. The “best” person for the job?🤔 idiots
NPR makes me sick.... with 30 seconds of research...Forty-seven years ago Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.) became the first woman and the first African American to run for a major political party’s presidential ticket.
Why are you focusing on her tace so much? Focus on her character.
Like President Obama,it doesn’t seem legitimate to call her African American. I’m glad to see the phrase ‘person of color’ used instead.
No one cared or knew about her south Asian ancestry until she was nominated for VP. Stop assuming minorities only vote for people b/c they share a skin color.
White Republicans complaining about Black Americans being elected, claiming their equal rights.
The Indians never accepted her and her sister because they are balck - too much fair and lovely nonsense - can’t claim her now she don’t give a shit
Her smile is everything. It’s such a pleasure to see a smile instead of the whining grumpy frown of personwomanmancameratv
So she’s not black? I’m so confused
Well shes only the first woman of color because shes with Biden. If she wasnt, according to Biden, she wouldnt be a woman of color
mayatcontreras 👏👏👏👏👏👏
OMG! If race was important and we rooted for one race over another, then this would be amazing. Too bad it's racist to cheer for someone because of their race. Yes it is.
Awful lot of folks concerned about skin color. I don’t get it. I thought the color of our skin wasn’t supposed to matter. What am I missing?
VoteBidenHarris2020
Cue the racist trump supporters in 3...2...1
This should help build relationships between the two nations.
In another universe, mine, it is noted that Harris has been chosen etc
Yes
I am SO over the whole “first this” and “first that”. We’re all people. Take your eyes off of race and see people. That’s when we will be truly able to heal and move forward.
Are you saying race means something?
Also, her Jamaican slave owner side of the family is celebrating. She’ll be able to put lots more minorities in chains as vp
Does this mean MODI will be given a greenlight to kill more Kashmiris or Muslims perhaps
Not the first transphobe though 😂
Not celebrating AT ALL!
No, thanks! Way too fake! PhonyKamala
No we're not celebrating. She's anti Hindu, pro jihadi and generally a nuisance like Pramila Jayapal.We prefer Trump, thank you very much.We know how his mind works,and we can handle him..🤣
The guy who wrote the crime bill that incarcerated a generation of black and brown people picks the woman who laughed about locking poor people up because their kids skipped school as vice president. Sounds about right for Democrats
Were they also prideful that she prostituted herself to get a leg up in politics?
Most important thing in successful political career is not the knowledge, manner, brain, and extraordinary ability No you need to be different race, sex, gender neutrality, and to be liberal. Plus promise free money, privileges, everything. Success is guaranteed
To be clear, she is not the first woman of color to run for VP in a national election. Just the first Democrat woman of color.
I imagine all the Innocent black men she imprisoned for nonviolent marijuana offenses are celebrating right now
Why is any of this relevant? Was this why she was chosen, and not because of her qualifications? Your reporting seems to indicate that.
She is a typical leftist who support break India forces, pak and terrorists in Kashmir. No Indian cares for kamla.
That’s not true. What would anyone in India care about what’s happening with Kamala Harris?
Damn easily listed all of her qualifications for Biden in two sentences. Well written.
who cares, she is a american who interfiors indian affairs and support pakistan terror.for most of indians trump is far better.
Which is it, we focus on race, gender and skin color or we don’t? The media tells one side it’s not about race/gender yet since yesterday’s announcement that’s all the media has written about. We’re either all equal or we’re not.
When do we stop caring about the contents and just enjoy the soup....
Don't forget she believes Bidens accusers but bends over backwards. Democrats love using this double standard.
The DNC literally had a slew of black female candidates but they’re going to make Kamala black
Is anyone celebrating her policy?
No one is celebrating a gold digger's nomination, especially India 😑
Disgrace and toxic to this country
Tulsi was smeared for her Modi connection. Harris gets praised. 2020 sucks.
Indian-American here. K'mala Harris is 100% Negro, as in the U.S. we use the one drop rule: 1 Negro parent + 1 Indian parent = child is 100% Negro. Glad to help!
South Asian (I.e., Indian) isn’t “of color”?
The Drug War Duo!
Nikki Haley is Indian. I don’t remember the articles talking about them celebrating her. Hint: they do.
Supporting the Democrats 💯% that's Taxpayer Funded Is senatemajldr aware of this , at all ?
First woman of color on the presidential ticket from south asian decent with an immigrant family who is a lawyer and a senator.......This reads like a political fanfiction. Also CNN posted almost the exact same thing. Cahoots much?
So we are pivoting away from being black? Just like Pocahontas pivoted away from being Native American. Show's todays girls what a little WAP can get them.
you missed this story
Snore 😴
She Represents AMERICAS Melting pot! What a variety! Time to Celebrate our Difference & sit Donald in corner w/dunce cap on!
Kamala is NOT the FIRST
First Jamaican too
so, it doesn’t really matter that she’s a monster, only that she is female and a poc. got it.
If you don’t vote for Biden you ain’t black
And her family owned Slaves in Jamaica! Everyone is excited for her Cultural Marxism!
Not sure why this is such a big deal. Democrats say we don’t believe in a person’s born identity, yet only talk about their identity. We had Obama (African American) for president. Hillary Clinton (Female) as Democratic nominee. Quit propping Harris up.
AngelaNWalker is an African-American woman, currently the VP candidate of the Green party. Jorgensen4POTUS is a woman, currently the POTUS candidate of the Libertarian party. Still waiting on you to talk about all women. Not just the Dem party's. LetHerSpeak OpenTheDebates
And her dad who migrated from Jamaica is an economics professor. No problem man.
Doesn’t matter
What Indian caste is she?
All the AAs think she is one of them
Symbolism over substance I guess. Her record is not lost on anyone.
Poor Nikki Haley is once again second fiddle.
Go get ‘em Senator (soon-to-be Vice President) Harris!!! 👏👏👏KamalaHarris
Congrats to her...
India is celebrating? 😂
I heard Joe Bidem makes her sit on his face!
Turns out if you lock up enough black men you can be from anywhere and make it.
Historic yes, however, this does not qualify her to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency of these United States.
and, I heard somewhere, the first VP or even final presidential candidate from west of Texas!
BIDEN PICKS HARRIS FIRST SOUTH ASIAN VEEP POWERHOUSE TICKET TO KNOCK OUT THE CREEP ~ BURMA-GRAM
Yes! Here’s to Brownasians and elevating SouthAsians in the United States.
She's White enough to not scare White people.
Yeah yeah. Non-White vagina. So stunning. Much brave. So sick of this virtue signaling garbage.
Cover this you dregs.
