    Your account history is exactly what I expected it to be. Nothing but ableist slurs, racism, and weird nonsense. Now run along back to Reddit and r/conservative. Shoo.

      Google it. Hindu/Jamaican of Irish background. Formerly first Indian this, that and the other thing. Definitely not black or of that community.

        Let’s see, she went to Howard University, a HBU, and while there was a member of a black sorority, but you know what? Let’s let you (presumably white male) decide who is black enough to be black

        STFU and GTFO of here

        Hold on folks, I’m getting a message from my editor…

        This just in: Jamaicans aren’t black! Usain Bolt is white as the driven snow! Thank you, @John_McMurray, for providing such essential services!

                  Clearly you dont know the difference between nationality and race, and couldn’t even figure out the analogy without further explanation. Aborigines ain’t black either, doofus

                    That wasn’t an analogy. You can see skin color, you can’t see nationality. An aboriginal person would absolutely be seen as black in America. Do you live in America? We have black, brown, yellow and white and you’re gonna get put into one of those categories regardless of nationality.

            91% of Jamaicans are of black African heritage. Of those 15% are lighter skin black. Harris’s grandmother on that side was dark skin black and her grandfather on that side was lighter skinned black. The reason he is lighter skinned is because someone in his lineage in the late 1700’s was likely raped by an Irish slave owner, they have genealogical research on her ancestors. Years ago colonial jamaica separated light skin a dark skin black people under slavery and ultimately it resulted in 2 different black racial groups in Jamaica. All this information is readily available with a Google search. Race is just a social construct. But within that construct she is, black, brown, white. Ethnically Jamaican, Indian, Irish. Hope this helps…
