Well, Jamaicans are black. Not from Africa for many generations, but Africans were brought to the Caribbean (including Jamaica) on slave ships from Africa. So it seems like Kamala’s dad is black, though not directly African-American, he is likely by decent. But who cares anyway - she’s an idiot.
Jamaicans aren’t black. Meaning. The term black is reserved for American descendants of slaves. Americans will flat out say people from the Caribbean including Jamaican aren’t black it’s a weird thing. Jamaica was also a pirate hideout and had many indentured and slave peoples. Chinese. East Indian. Native islanders. Argentinian. Cuban. Irish. African. Syrian. Jewish. On the flag the national motto is of ‘many one people’.
“The term black is reserved for American descendants of slaves.”
…Is your opinion, that’s not colloquial fact. It depends on the black person you ask. It is pretty well known that Jamaica is part of North America & some of their black population are descendants of slaves. Some of them identify as black and some don’t; & who cares anyway if Kamala & her Jamaican dad think they’re black or not. It’s irrelevant. Many Jamaicans are and ID as black.
The Caribbean more allies with Latin America. Which is why they do sports and other events together like the Caribbean and Latin American games held in el Salvador recently. I have zero issue with your statement. It’s correct. I’m just saying the coming narrative is going to be that she isn’t ADOS. ADOS and FBA want to distinguish from other DOS. I get it but either way, none of this makes our lives better or worse. Just watching the show.
