13331018, Hmmm...I don't know how to say this

First off, I want to say, love who you love. And, I have defended Donald Glover, Steve McQueen and Kara Walker over this same point.

However, I kinda noticed something interesting and I don't know what to do with it.

Kamala Harris has a sister, Maya Harris.

Maya Harris is gotdamn 52 years old and looks amazing.
Meena Harris is a good example of genetics being a crapshoot.


Anyway

I guess, I'm tripping off the difference is all. I suppose, what I'm getting at/thinking is the overall context of things...like her seemingly awkward relationship to her blackness and voting history/criticisms and how there is a difference with mate selection between herself and her sister and her niece.

I guess, I feel like a hypocrite for pointing this out while also defending the other named folks above...but it still makes me think...but I also have lots of friends in mixed race marriages so...I have no idea.
