These are all such bullshit, but the one that really gets to me is that she’s a descendant of Hamilton Brown. Do you know how many black people are descendants of slave owners? They’re trying to condemn her character by tying her lineage to a plantation owner, but also trying to say she’s not really black. How is that not the experience of so many black Americans?
It’s because the racists don’t understand that it doesn’t matter, no one but them cares about that. Their personality is based around the “purity” of lineage, so clearly everyone else must be the same way.
Could be. I think it’s more likely trying to scare away black voters by saying she’s not really black, and she’s descended from slave owners. And, sadly, that kind of stuff will work on some people because they don’t actually think things through, they take that crap at face value.

It’s just standard republican bullshit.
