Kamala Harris Parents Refused To Call Her ‘Black’ On Birth Certificate

Kamala Harris is about to be the first Black female Vice President. But according to her birth certificate, Kamala isn’t “Black.” A copy of Kamala’s birth certificate has surfaced and is causing commotion online.

On all birth certificates in the United States, the “race” of the child’s parents is recorded. In Kamala’s case, her mother who is Indian recorded her race as “Caucasian.”

Kamala Harris’ father, who is a Black man from Jamaica recorded his race as “Jamaican” instead of Black. However, it’s noteworthy that in the 1960s it was common for Black and Brown people to hide or deny their race, in order to try and avoid racial mistreatment.

She’s been coming under attack, by many in the African American community who think that she’s not “Black”.

Kamala graduated from the historically Black Howard University, was born in Oakland, California hometown of the Black Panther Party and has likely been viewed as Black by a majority white society.

Kamala Devi Harris is a member of the Democratic Party, Harris is the second African American woman and the first Indian American to serve in the United States Senate.
