Interesting that the two great “African-Americans” chosen to lead Democrats are both half black and neither half (Kenya, Jamaica) had anything to do with American blacks.
She would be the first Vice President with no American ancestors. Spiro Agnew's father was a Greek immigrant but his mother had many generations of American ancestry with ancestors in colonial Virginia and Plymouth Colony. Chester Alan Arthur's father was an immigrant. Besides that, Kamala spent a good part of her youth in Montreal.
Kamala is not half-black. She’s half-East Indian. Her father is descended from an Irish immigrant to Jamaica and is “whiter” in skin color than Kamala.
