Kamala Harris is not even black!
Do you see what they are trying to do here?
Fling so much shit at the wall that you cannot keep up with debunking it. Oversaturate the public with fake outrage, so the people become numb. Make it harder and harder to tell fact from fiction.
I am willing to bet good money that there will be Kamala-Harris-truthers before the election, claiming that she's only pretending to be black because she wants to cash in on the black vote.

I thought their purpose was to reassure brain-dead white Americans that "Even black people agree with them." so they must not be racist and "Look at those two black women with their exaggerated hairstyles, etc.; you know that you're better than them."

(82,849 posts)Deny a person's identity, and work your way up to denying their personhood. It's even more effective if you can find a useful tool in that identifiable group - a bishop or two Black women - to make the statement for you. Makes it look a weensy bit less bigoted, and provides a thin patina to momentarily distract from the prejudice.
