It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you’re a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can’t be both Indian and Black.
Yup. It’s not worth any time trying to figure out their “rules”, because there are none, and they don’t need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It’s just business.
I think it’s more like they can’t comprehend being half black if the other half is not white. Which really gives you some insight into what they think about everybody that isn’t white. The Republican worldview on race is the same as their worldview on everything else: literally black and white.
That seems to be the general thrust, but I have seen a few not-so-bright sparks suggest that Jamaicans aren’t really black.
I even saw one person suggest that the fact that she is descended from an Irish plantation owner means she can’t be black. Which, gee, I wonder why a black person would be descended from a plantation owner?
Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I’ve read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself “plantationed” by Britain.
It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, “being born in a stable does not make one a horse” as the Duke put it when ‘accused’ of being Irish.
Honestly, I’m just repeating what the moron said there. I have no idea if she is actually is descended from an Irish plantation owner. But even if she was, that still doesn’t make her not black. There’s a lot of black people descended from white plantation owners, and it’s not for good reasons that are beneficial to them.
I doubt whoever is claiming that you’re not black if you’re descended from a white plantation owner and black people really cares whether or not it’s genealogically accurate.
No you see he wasn’t black, he was just born in Kenya, and many people are born in Kenya, you don’t have to be black to be born in Kenya, i have many friends born in Kenya, Ok I’m done /s.
Wait, so Obama is black because his father is black and now Harris isn’t black even though her father is black? Do these idiots even hear themselves?

Their rules are you are whatever is beneficial to the propaganda web we’re currently spinning. Next week she’ll be black again.

Michelle Obama had white ancestors.

So we can say she’s white now, yes?

Schrodinger’s black person. A person is both black and not black at any given time untill a bigot decides what they are.
I think we need to talk about how Obama is white. It both uses their own stupid so-called logic against them and would seriously piss them off.
Frankly, no, they don’t. That would require self-reflection.
