Karen is black [father]/white [mother]. Of her mom Mildred Lee she says she "is the great, great, great niece of Robert E. Lee, or 'the General,' as he is referred to by my family." Karen admits that she has "a mixed race heritage that I am proud of". Of Loving v. Virginia she writes that "I was 16 years old before I was allowed in my grandfather's home in Greensboro, North Carolina. That's how long it took for him to even begin to re-think his shame over having a mixed-race granddaughter. He believed, as did many at the time, miscegenation was wrong on moral and legal grounds. Thankfully for me, my parents disagreed. They were married in New York City and had me despite the fact that it was illegal in their home states of Virginia and North Carolina to do so. Thankfully for our country, in the case of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court saw beyond the fear and bigotry of the moment and ruled that antimiscegenation laws violated fundamental American values of Due Process and Equal Protection Under the Law as guaranteed to every American by our constitution." She's a political consultant, MSNBC regular and her politics is mad annoying to me.  She used to work in the Clinton White House.

I guess it's normal if you are apart of a very racist family.

Even though Karen admits to being mixed she is black identified. I believe in a tweet she responded to someone saying "I'm black". I forget what for. This is a June 23 tweet.

Karen Finney
I am black
