Right, because 100% of the population has ALWAYS been in the running for VP historically. 😂😂 What a weird statement dude.

 

Strangely, I don't recall any candidate promising to pick a woman in March, then announcing it would be a Black woman, even before the convention.

 

That used to be considered sexist and racist, to choose a candidate based on gender and race.

You assume he hadn’t already decided who he was going to pick as VP.

 

Perhaps he’d already had a shortlist who were women.

Trump is showing his normal nasty racist side. Attacking Harris' ethnicity is not going to play well with independents. And even some Republicans are getting fed up with his ugly behavior. As this ad from Republicans Against Trump shows:

 

 

Nice try ! 🫠 .All dem talking points from the Uniparty!
Bunch of Never Trumpers who are
disillusioned into voting for 

A marxist supporter and potential Potus!

I suppose he could have been going for a trifecta.  Checks 2 DEI boxes, AND guarantees he won't be impeached or 25th'ed.

Well said madam vice president but I sincerely hope when the old geriatric rasist starts spouting his offal I hope the DA in you comes to the fore to humiliate and emasculate the old fool.

Not so foolish, Maybe Many people like to Know what she Really Claimed to be instead of Changing from Indian To Black just for this Political Game to drum up Black votes .

But what does one expect Politics is a Filthy Game.

She can claim to be what she wants as her father was from Jamaica and mum from India, so aren't both countries classed as coloured, and as her dad was black she can most definitely claim to be half black.

To me, this Trump racist attack on the opposition is him to a T, personal attacks, because he has got nothing.

Take a look at what her parents did for a living, has Trump mentioned that, NOOOOO, it will belittle him............

Your attempts at trolling get more pathetic over time bro.

 

NO!

NOT trolling.
But, I AM posting a valid view, and one which is shared by many other educated white males.

 

I do not like the Black Afro-American Ghetto Rap Culture that is taking over the world.

 

If we must have Black-Ghetto Culture, with Plenty of FING Bling....

Then, let it be this....instead.

 

Afro-American "culture" is anathema to me, and I will stick with JS Bach, and with Van Gogh, and the impressionists/post-impressionists.

 

IF America actually wants a BLACK PREZ, then they would, in fact, actually ELECT one.

But, they do not.

It would be impossible to elect a Black-Afro_American in the USA of today.

Such trash culture would not be acceptable to ANYONE!

 

THIS was the POINT of the other poster, that you also replied to.

We are NOT Trolls for posting valid views.

Troll has become just another four-letter-word, and meaningless, signifying nothing, after being so very overused.

 

 

One should NOT call anyone a troll just for being different, or for expressing contrary opinions, if said opinions can be supported by evidence.

 

So anyway:  All that posters were saying is that, SO FAR, we have not had a Black Prez, meaning culturally black.

 

Or, just go watch To Sir With Love....

 

Note:  Black Ghetto Culture is GARBAGE culture.  Nobody wants it, except, maybe to watch on some RAP MTV, which also stinks, compared to JS Bach.

Haha you are a fool to think she actually thought this speech up. You should know better than to believe speeches written by her handlers. Get her on the floor without someone telling her what to say and she will be flopping like a fish out of water. 

 

Yes.

You are correct.

She has been under Intensive Training for many months, one must presume, in order to try to prepare this...this....

SALAD Woman for the election.

 

We know that much money is spent on creating a product to sell to voters.

Even Madison avenue will have difficulty with Harris....

Although, the selling of an imbecile to Americans has been done before...

Did Vance go to the same train camp? If yes, he must have got the wrong instructor. Or does your astute analysis only apply to the Dem and not the GOP? 

 

BOTH freaking parties have exactly the same access to advisors, trainers. Why has it worked out so well for Kamala, yet so poorly for 45 n Vance?

Recoiling?

 

Well, anyway, if you are stating that you reject semantics, in some cases, then you are certainly in good company.

 

I guess you are stating that Syntax is more important than Semantics.

However, I think that both are important.

 

Why?

Just examine the meaning and usage of the world 'recoil', and to 'recoil from', etc.

It is probably not possible to recoil TOWARD or TO something.

If you get my drift, then you will see that both Syntax and Semantics is important for communication using any spoken/written language, such as English, and many others.

 

Correct?

No. Incorrect and more strange. Native speakers understand meaning in casual conversation. Only debate-club weirdos try to press grammatical errors to their advantage in conversation.

So no  blues, jazz, rock n roll,  gospel/spiritual, soul, funk, Motown, R&B, ragtime, disco…. 
 

Just the Bach you probably never listen to, Van Gogh you have probably never seen and impressionists/post impressionist you probably can’t distinguish.

 

Feigning cultural tastes while dismissing the culture that has been the major source of musical creativity and development for well over a century.

When we talk about cultural identity, which I think is the thrust of this Topic, meaning how culture is an integral part of all politics, I think this often does include fine art, and classical music, and more importantly the appreciation of beauty, meaning aesthetics.

 

My first choice for lengthy listening is always classical music, and I prefer Baroque music, and chamber music, and I am sure that you know the composers  that have given us this music, over the centuries.

 

Of course I also enjoy good popular music, and good jazz music, but you can hold the gospel, unless you might be talking Blues Brothers Gospel music.

But, at least for me, I am unable to listen to pop or jazz for more than a short period of time before I always come back to classical music, mainly because I care about the beauty of it, and the uplifting nature of it.

 

The same goes for fine art.  I prefer Monet, and Manet, and Munch, and the rest.  Van Gogh is amazing, especially his peach tree which I can enjoy on any given Sunday, and it is possible to appreciate every single brush stroke, just be visiting the VanGogh Museum's website.

 

I find the present-day culture an affront to good taste.  It's OK for a brief period of time.  Yet, if our cultural roots continue to erode, then we will end up with even more presidential candidates like Trump and Harris in the future.

 

Disgusting, really, the candidates that have somehow come upon us this strange year.
