[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Doria 100% AA?[/quote]

[b]Doris is 100% Black but likely an ADOS [American Descendant of Slaves], most ADOS with no recent history of immigrants in their families are at minimum 20-25% of European Descent[/b]. Thus, her marrying Thomas Märkle made it possibly for Meghan to look Southern European [at first glance]  if you didn’t know her ancestry. Most biracial black people with a decent amount of European ancestry on their Black side can appear white.

Here are a few examples:

Um, having 20-25% European ancestry does not make one 100% black. [/quote]

Yes, it does.  Because black or AA is an ethnicity, not a race, and in American history, people who were descendents of both slaves and slave owners were only allowed to participate in the culture of their slave ancestors, and thus are 100% ethnically black or African American.[/quote]

Sooooo, by your definition Kamila Harris isn't 'black or AA' since her mother is Indian and her from from Jamaica (and not descended from American/US slaves).  [/quote]

DP. I think people like Harris and Obama who might not technically fit PP’s definition in terms of ancestry, have been treated as AA their entire lives not Kenyan American or Jamaican American. I think a lot of black people live their lives this way and probably have their own code-switching or double consciousness as a result.

I love Harris. I have no doubts about her ability to govern regardless of her racial identity.[/quote]
