    Obama is the son of an African and an American. So how is he not African-American?

    Harris's father is a descendant of African slaves. She was born in America. So how is she not African-American?

    Take a good look at history and black people holding power.  Take a good look at those places.  

    You are looking for "normal" in a sea of psychopathy?  I don't think you will find it.
