Maybe Holden and Brown both became black like Kamala and when you're a fresh black person, you tend to look like the industrial negroid mold they use.
Trending on xitter (for real, I just spent 72 hours there, voluntarily, was invited to join in April, '06, made acct, never used it):
"Kamala isn't African-American. She's Jamaican-Indian!"
True story.
Oh, now I can dunk, "I deleted my 18 year old twitter!"
Yeah, there's this new idea they're trying to push that Jamaicans aren't black. Wait until they find out that her father had a white grandparent. I'm guessing they won't agree that a multiracial child of a multiracial man is pretty fucking awesome. But they're still both black.
They're also pointing out she's descended from slave owners (Hamilton?), so they're making her less Black by the minute.

Song by Peter Tosh
Peter Tosh. From Jamaica. So not black for some reason that the MAGA assholes can't actually explain.

Just don’t tell them how Jamaicans got there.
