I have a general, probably ignorant, question to ask.

I find this distinction important when talking about civil rights, slavery and reparations.



If so, then does the Kamala Harris count as "black" enough? I know that seems a dumb question but in politics it matters. I mean she is 1st generation born in the US, Indian mother, Jamaican father. She a person born from immigrants, like me, like a lot of others. So is she considered a politically black candidate that will bring out more black voters?
This "argument" started last week by Trump supporters on the Internet last week hours after the Harris selection was announced.

That is all.
