    Funny you mention it, I met a transvestite named Derek in New Zealand. He was as tall as me.

    Not often I experience a moment of fear looking at another man but Derek in heels making him 6'11" was an awesome sight.

    Kamala Harris went to Howard University and is a member of AKA. That doesn’t sound like someone who is hiding or ashamed of being black.

    You are very good at putting yourself in another's shoes are you?

    I have several mixed race friends, one has an Irish mother, father who is half Indian half British Guyana. They identify (I hate that word but) with whichever family they are with or whatever group they are with because they are a part of and understand all their ethnicities.

    I'm very very white but I'm part long lineage white American, Irish, English and Danish. I hold three passports. Fine for me to give my experience and understanding from any of those cultural perspectives but if I happened to be the wrong shade for any of them I'm fake?

    Making curry tonight though.

    Unfortunately the powers that be want to make race an issue in this election. It worked for the DNC with Obama, give credit where it’s due, Obama has charisma. But Harris is no Obama and Biden has the charisma of a tree stump.

    Harris was chosen as the“moderate” * cough, cough* of the female choices and to portray the Black element needed to fulfill their race card.

    On problem Harris is not Black, as in African American, she’s East Indian and Jamaican descent. This will play out like Warren and her imagined Cherokee roots.

    Curry!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    The power that be being Trump jumped the shark with Obama birtherism and the ski has not yet landed.

    Warren's roots are real, it's in the DNA test. She can only know the lineage passed to her in her family lore and it's perfectly possible just as today her great great great who everyone thought was Indian was himself already just a quarter blood.

    How long have your family been in America? Do you have deep roots? We have a family tree on my moms side going back to the 1660s. It's really really complicated compared to the European side.

    Identity is hard to pin down to this or that.

    Trump claims to be a Christian and you fools such him off. Get your affairs in order before you spout off about others. How’s the sobriety going? You know you’d love a cold one and a shot.

    So we’ve entered the phase of the election where Republicans tell black people they’re not black or American. This is usually a good sign for democrats, historically.

    Keep it up, tards. Democrats will have the senate if you push this through November. Last time you idiots pushed this argument you gave the democrats a super majority.

    Harris isn’t Black. Is she a “person of color”, yes. But for her, or others to identify her as a Black person who identifies with today’s current narrative of systemic racism, that’s a false narrative and manufactured.

    Edit, in an earlier reply I was asked about putting myself in another’s shoes, so......when viewing Harris through liberal colored glasses, i guess it’s all about how one identifies and not based on actual fact.

    Wrong. I'm not expecially right wing, quite socially conservative and if she is as you say - "a person of color" she part of no community.

    Disenfranchised from society itself.
