Is there something deeper to how two of the black people who reached the highest positions in the US state apparatus aren't 'african americans' so to speak?
Yes, it does speak volumes about the generational deprivation inflicted on Black americans that the most successful POC in the US in recent years have been children of recent immigrants and not descendants of slaves. But that point is easily lost in a sea of gatekeeping bourgeois identity politics and racist birtherism.
