>Jamaican. Dad was an octoroon at best. Kamala a 1/16 negro. Maybe less but 1/16 at most.
Hate to historyfag, But this is the one drop rule being used. (One drop of black makes you black)
Kamala Harris types in the past got lumped in as black even if they didn’t want to be, and black folks have kept to that rule imposed on them to identify with mixed people as black.
When the French ran Louisiana they had whites, mulattos, and blacks. When they lost is in the Louisiana purchase they one drop rule was adopted there.
As far as I know this was uniquely a American thing .
TLDR: one drop of black makes you black in the eyes of most African Americans, especially older ones.
