Since this is the appropriate thread, all about politics with no 'ad hominems', I'll raise this interesting choice of Kamala Harris as running VP with Joe Biden.
However, I feel I must first mention that I'm not American, but Australian, and I'm not riled up or annoyed by any choices that the American people make, so I'm addressing this situation as an outsider with less political bias than most Americans.
When I first read in the Media that Kamala Harris had been chosen as running mate, I was quite impressed. She's academically well qualified, smart, tough, and at 55 is much younger than Joe Biden and capable of taking on the role of President should Joe Biden seriously falter and become unfit for the job.
I also got the impression from the media that she is half Indian (not American Indian), and half 'Black African', because her father emigrated to the US from Jamaica where most of the population is of African descent, because of the slaves imported by the British.
In view of the current chaos in America, such as the 'Black Lives Matter' protests, and so on, it seemed to me that choosing Kamala Harris as VP running mate is a sensible choice.
However, Kamala doesn't have the appearance of being half 'African American', and her father, Professor Donald Harris, doesn't have the appearance of being a 'Black African'.
A search on the internet revealed that Kamala's father has previously stated that he is descended from Hamilton Brown who was a 'white' slave owner in the British colony of Jamaica, so the question remains, 'does Kamala Harris have any African associations in her DNA?'
If she is appealing to African American voters, this is surely an issue, and I would suggest that Kamala, and/or her father, clarify this issue. If they cover it up, it will be fuel for the opposition.
