The Washington Post, the newspaper, if it can be called a newspaper, just published an article by Sydney Trent. Sydney Trent has been employed by The Washington Post since 1999. She is believed to currently be the Senior Editor/Social Issues. It seems that most of Sidney Trent’s articles, stories, reports, are centered on, focussed on, a race component.
The subject Sidney Trent article is headlined….”For Interracial Couples, Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff Are A “Monumental” Symbol”. The Trent article states, “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris held their clasped hands triumphantly aloft”. Referring to a TV appearance the last night of the Democrat Party Convention. While Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff was, quote, “standing off to one side clapping adoringly”. So emphasized, quote, “because Emhoff was a man so publicly supporting his powerful, ambitious wife”. And then reporter, Journalist(?), Sidney Trent has to include, quote, “Emhoff is white and Harris is black”.
Why include that comment?
Could it be that Sidney Trent just can’t resist any opportunity to remind us all that there are races? Sidney Trent goes on to state, “The Vice-President Elect (she ain’t yet certified/official) is Black and her husband is White, making them the first interracial couple at the highest reaches of the U.S. government”. In Sidney Trent’s apparent eagerness to perpetuate, enhance, whatever racial conflict there might be, she has made some serious mistakes.
Those mistakes could be classified as lies. It is true…. Mister Emhoff, Doug, Kamala’s husband, is “white”. How about Caucasian instead of “white”? Caucasian defined as “light skin color, of European ancestry”. But it also includes India. It is not true……repeat…..NOT TRUE……….Kamala Harris is Black.
Why doesn’t anyone say it like it is?
Kamala Harris is, by the definition of “Caucasian”, at least half NOT BLACK. Her mother was from India. Complete Indian, Caucasian ethnicity, or race. And Kamala’s biological father’s parents were both Afro-Jamaican. That means that Donald Jasper Harris, Kamala’s father, is most likely “fully” Black. Therefore….Kamala Harris is not……repeat…NOT…..Black. She is no more than HALF Black.
So, it is a fact that Kamal Harris and Doug Emhoff are an “interracial couple”. But NOT as interracial as reports are trying to make them. And to say they are the first interracial couple at the highest reaches of the U.S. government? That is FALSE!
Could it be an intentional lie to enhance the acceptability of Kamala? The most noteworthy, and maybe the only, interracial couple at the highest reaches of the U.S. government………….guess who. Barrack and Michelle Obama. Yup.
But they are not “completely” interracial. True. Michelle Obama has a genealogy that appears to be completely black. Or, as is now politically correct…….African-American. But Barrack Obama isn’t black or African American. Mister Obama’s mother is, was, as white as could be. His father was as black as could be. Purely African. Not even African-American. But only African.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with being only African. But, in the case of Mister Obama, “only” is used ONLY to verify race/ethnicity. So………it looks like Sidney Trent forgot about President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama when talking about interracial couples at the highest reaches of the U.S. Government.
Here’s some news for Sidney Trent.
There just ain’t no higher reach in the U.S. government than President. Even though Barrack Obama refers to himself as black…..and a lot of people refer to him as the “first black President”………it just ain’t true. He was the first Half-black, or half-white, President. That’s a fact.
So……..stop the racial crap. Start to be nothing but American. Be American to all those who will be and act American.
