I am Cherokee, My grandmother happened to marry white and I identify as white because my mother married white and I am only 25%. My grandmother's sister married black. I have black great uncles, and a bunch of black cousins. My grandfather, uncle, and two cousins are police officers. I am slightly acquainted with race relations and police and their struggles.
Your quoting of facts is spot on. It runs counter to the emotional narrative. As someone said, “Facts do not care about your feelings.”
Incidentally, in the whole discussion of Kamala Harris being the first person of color candidate for Vice President, I have heard nothing in the news media about Charles Curtis. He was elected as Republican Vice President under Herbert Hoover, almost a century ago. He was 5/8 Native American, having grown up on the Kaw Reservation in Kansas. He spoke the native language, Kansa, before learning English. He served for decades in the House and Senate, and as majority leader in the Senate. Why has no one mentioned him?
