I'm asking simple questions and directed at Mofra. He wasn't rude or patronising.R U OK mate, do you need a basic primer on how the internet works or something?
Patronising eh? I could accuse you of the same thing.I'm asking simple questions and directed at Mofra. He wasn't rude or patronising.
Why would you respond to me with more of your patronising BS. It's really weird coming from someone who denies being a troll. I suspect it was the attention thing that I previously mentioned. Please stop.
That’s because you have the fortitude of a wet piece of paper on SRP. You and that other weirdo running the show over there.You are posting on the conspiracy board. Are you smearing yourself by posting here voluntarily?
Kamala's got Farnsy on board

She isn’t black, Kurve.It doesn't seem to me that Harris needed any help, if it's reasonable given the circles she moved in, that she would be meeting powerful men, some of whom she might date.
Oh look, it's Kamala's wiki.
Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco. She began her law career in the office of the district attorney (DA) of Alameda County, before being recruited to the San Francisco DA's Office and later the city attorney of San Francisco's office. In 2003, she was elected DA of San Francisco. She was elected attorney general of California in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. Harris served as the junior U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021; she defeated Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate election to become the second Black woman and the first South Asian American to serve in the U.S. Senate.[8][9]

Kamala is Jamaican descent, that's black. Anyhow whatever, is that the best you've got?
Jamaicans come in all different colours. It's a nationality.
If Kamala identifies as black, she's black.
lolShe'll identify as whatever she thinks will get her the most votes.

There's been some focus in the press indicating her reluctance to play on her race. Meanwhile, Trump appears to be gaining support among young Black voters.
You really don't like her, do you?
Kamala is as black as that female boxer is maleKamala is Jamaican descent, that's black. Anyhow whatever, is that the best you've got?

She's not African American.
African Americans, also known as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, are an ethnic group consisting of Americans with partial or total ancestry from any of the Black racial groups of Africa
Her Dad also has Irish heritage witch he has stated he is very proud of. Funny how that doesnt appear to be relevant.Her father (and her) trace their ancestry directly from the Black racial groups of Africa.
Her father is an Afro Jamaican (a Jamacain man, who has ancestry from Africa). Kamila (who has the same ancestry from Africa, but who was born and raised in the USA) is thus 'African-American.'
It's like how my own ancestry traces back to the British isles (mostly). The people of the British isles are a combination of multiple ethnic groups (Celts, Angles, Normans, Saxons, Jutes etc) with the modern terms for the admixed ethnic groups of Britain usually one of either 'English', 'Welsh' 'Cornish' or 'Scottish' or even just 'British'.
The accepted term for my ethnicity is 'Anglo-Australian'.
All of this simply highlights the absurdity of 'race' as some kind of biological construct (it's not). Literally every person on earth is an admixture of multiple races and ethnic groups (many of which are now extinct), all of whom originated in a single ethnic group which spread out from Africa around 100,000 years ago.
Race is a social construct. Kamila is Black and Asian, and identifies (and is accepted as) both an African American and an Asian American (having ancestry that traces back directly to those continents).
