and to be fair, i don't know or care if she's black or not. 100% irrelevant to me. i'm pretty much sick and tired of all this being shoved in faces as if someones skin color matters more than their heart and compassion for others.
Jamaica itself is a nationality anyway, not a race so being from Jamaica has nothing to do with it really. most Jamaica's are considered black (78%) so maybe she is. but again, don't really care.
go to Jamaica and look for an employment card or gov benefits card and let me know if RACE is even a question. they don't care there from what i'm reading. they don't divide things out by race and demand equality between differences. that's an american PC thing the left loves to play to garner pity and both sides keep alive to keep people at odds.
however, the question is - what race is donald harris? wouldn't that be what would tell things overall? we know mother is indian so no black there we can trace back to.
but what we do know about him:

In the article, Harris explained the family’s Jamaican roots, writing:
My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).
so, they owned a plantation and slaves. not that big a deal, black people owned slaves at the time as well. (the horror!)
this was interesting. it's an essay from Donald.
" This early phase of interaction with my children came to an abrupt halt in 1972 when, after a hard-fought custody battle in the family court of Oakland, California, the context of the relationship was placed within arbitrary limits imposed by a court-ordered divorce settlement based on the false assumption by the State of California that fathers cannot handle parenting (especially in the case of this father, “a neegroe from da eyelans” was the Yankee stereotype, who might just end up eating his children for breakfast!). Nevertheless, I persisted, never giving up on my love for my children or reneging on my responsibilities as their father. "
so it would seem to me he's saying he's negro.
but again, i don't care. it's amazing the shit people will argue about.
