African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”

How about she's black because it's not only how she identifies and her skin color, but also because it's the US and the average bigot on the street (or on Lemmy) isn't going to go, "Hey I'll take it easy on this one because I know her her blackness comes from Jamaica."

No one needs to "accept" that I'm white, and I don't give a fuck whether they do. I very much doubt that Kamala give a shit who "accepts" her as black, and I'm very sure she doesn't care what a bunch of bigoted republicans think about the matter.

You know how I know when someone's comment about race is going to hold no value whatsoever? When they think "reverse racism" has meaning of any kind.
