On the 42nd day of the year, February 11, Kamala Harris takes on questions about her blackness.
Recall, she announced she was running for President on 'Martin' Luther King Jr. Day, and now here we are on the 42nd day of Black History Month.
Think of all the 42 related stories in recent days.

Pretty funny the mocking of this occurring in the 42nd day of the year!
ReplyDeleteAs a half-black, half-white person, Harris is technically considered a "Mulatto" = *42* (rr). Offspring with a white partner -- 1/4 black -- would be a "Quadroon" = *42* (red) , 111 (ro).
ReplyDelete"Bi-racial" = 55 (eo) ... "Mixed" = 55 (eo)
My kids & grandkids use the terms Mulatto & Quadroon because they decided (on their own) that "mixed" is generically derogatory & "black" denies other aspects of their heritage.
Interestingly, these terms confuse people of all races, having fallen out of use after being deemed "racist".
However, this has left "mixed race" people without a way to proclaim their own unique identity, & relegated them to the moniker of "light-skinned black" ... a description which no doubt helps the minority bean-counters to boost the numbers of "blacks" ... despite the acknowledged, vehement prejudice within the black community against people with visibly undeniable amounts of "white blood" in their heritage.
In a country obsessed with appearance, skin color & ancestry -- & with so many people of mixed-race heritage among us -- it is a disservice to simply refer to such people as "bi-racial" or "mixed". Of couse it would be best if skin color was not a factor -- but let's face it, that is never going to happen as long as it can be used as an effective tool to promote division & rancor.
Meanwhile, ever-increasing segments of the population are being pigeon-holed into descriptions that they neither welcome nor embody.
The fact is, Obama was a Mulatto president -- not a Black one ... and that's a fact that Black Leaders -- who proclaim to be against "racism" -- never want to address. :D ;D
The stereotypical programming begins for Kamala Harris as the alleged Female Black Presidential Candidate.
