    kamala's ancestors owned black slaves, she is no different than a white American whose ancestors did the same in that respect.

    I'm thinking that this great family tradition they had celebrating a holiday that was invented two years after she was born is a bit suspicious. I'm thinking that a Jamaican-Indian in Montreal celebrating Kwanzaa on top of that is stretching credulity. Bottom line is that I think she's makin' the story up to look more woke - hardly a unique thing amongst the LW. Your mileage may vary.

    kamala is oppressed by her skin color and shares in the struggle of african Americans who celebrate kwanza.

    As I've explained, the celebration came into existence five hours from where she was raised, and was in response to civil unrest/race riots in 1965.

    It's entirely plausible her family was mentally involved in all that. Discrimination wasn't against descendents of slaves. It was against any and all with less than lily white skin.

    However she does support reparations, but I wonder if someone will ask her if she thinks she should get a check?

    As far as I know, she supports a study of what might be done to fix the systemic inequities.

    Please find the quote of her supporting massive cash handouts to black people.

    She doesn't support reparations. Quit listening to nonsense.

    Who used the term, "massive cash handouts to black people?"

    Reparations isn't exactly well defined. Different people think it should take different forms, but she does support some sort of reparations:

    While I was taking a shower I thought about what you said. I remember when I was transferred to Puerto Rico from NJ and the job was going to last for 4 years. When I got there I felt like a fish out of water. There's nothing wrong with the Puerto Rican people, heck, I married one while I was down there, but for the longest time I was out of my comfort zone and I sought out places to live that were populated by Americans, they being Luquillo and San Juan. When I went into the country side I knew I wasn't one of them, but when I was around Americans of any color or stripe, felt a little more at ease. If you and I took off to a foreign country, more than likely you and I would become our own support team and create our own comfort zone, and it wouldn't matter if I was Islamic and you were Amish because we have something in common and that is we're from America. Drilling down a bit more, if there were English speaking Amish people in that country, you could probably relate to them far easier than you could with the locals. In this regard, I believe a person from Jamaica would seek out her own kind first because what does color really mean to a first generation foreigner? When I first got to PR I didn't think of myself as a white person, I thought of myself as a foreigner and mostly frequented places that made me feel comfortable as an American foreigner and it had nothing to do with being white. Does that make sense, or did I tell it wrong?

    A quick peek says she is curious about it and you know what that means.

    Your post makes perfect sense. I think the piece of the puzzle is that racists in the 60s didn't care if you were 1st generation Jamaican. You were black. Period.

    It's so different now. It's hard to imagine what then was like for a non white person.

    You seem to divide the people of Peurto Rico into Peurto Ricans and Americans. I find that odd because Peurto Ricans are American citizens excepts that they can only vote for POTUS if they live on the mainland.

    Then you said something really bizarre or maybe just innocently ignorant when you say " I thought of myself as a foreigner and mostly frequented places that made me feel comfortable as an American foreigner and it had nothing to do with being white. Does that make sense, or did I tell it wrong?".

    Did 't your Peurto Rican wife explain to you that Peurto RICO is a US territory and that Peurto Ricans are US citizens? So why would you feel like a foreigner and an American foreigner on US soil?

    Are you sure that your wife is Peurto Rican? Did you check her birth certificate? Maybe she was born in the Dominican Republic.

    BTW New Mexico is a state of the US not a territory of Mexico. Just figured I needed to tell you that.

    Uh. That wasnt his point.

    I assure you, I felt very much out of place in Salt Lake City when I visited. They made me feel, very much, welcome. They also made me feel, very much, like an outsider. I found some friends and stuck with them.

    So what you’re saying is you don’t have enough critical thinking ability to figure out from the first sentence below where I stand on your question? Hahahaha...wow.

    If that's all she said we would not have this thread now would we?

    I am pointing out a double standard. It's ok for Kamala to lie to pander to people but if Trump plays golf it's wrong.

    That is how the left sees it.

    I honestly think Kamala is evil. If she runs for president she will never win without cheating.
