Re: Biden delivers
Interesting! I didn't know that, but I still don't agree (I think). According to the encyclopedia, "African Americans are largely the descendants of slaves—people who were brought from their African homelands by force to work in the New World. Their rights were severely limited, and they were long denied a rightful share in the economic, social, and political progress of the United States."Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 12:00 amDT I had to do some investigation on the above. Jamaican's are of African descent. So Kamala Harris is indeed African American.

The US needs to prove it truly repented.
If he picks Nina Turner or another African American I will vote for him, but it is not going to happen.

Re: Biden delivers
Well that would mean Obama isn't an African American since his ancestors were never slaves. More than likely they sold and profited from selling neighboring Africans as slaves to be sent to the the US.Interesting! I didn't know that, but I still don't agree (I think). According to the encyclopedia, "African Americans are largely the descendants of slaves—people who were brought from their African homelands by force to work in the New World.

None of that really matters now. They all get the same taxpayer funded subsidies and affirmative action benefits whether their ancestors were slaves or slave traders.

"of the United States". Obama's father was not a slave in the US.

"African American" can be defined in many ways. In a sense we are all African American because humanity started in Africa.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 11:53 pmMake sure you update the Internet there, big brain:
