Harris Confronts Trump’s Remarks on Her Identity with Calls for Unity and Respect

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.

 

 

I find the present-day culture an affront to good taste. 

 

Let me clarify that for you, you find these things an affront to your own idea of what constitutes ‘good taste’.

 

Our cultural roots are not eroding, they are continually evolving, just like they always have.

 

They are the product of millennia of culture mingling, something that should not need explaining to anyone who claims to know anything about the culture of art and music.

A bit off topic but….Kamala Harris has officially become the  democratic presidential nominee….since Biden endorsed her she has raised 310 million dollars in July over twice the amount trump raised in ??10 ??days or thereabouts buckle up folks I think we have a race!!!!

I can easily accept and appreciate many different types of art that is not pornographic, and I take exception to the Afro-american, Garbage-gutter and Black-prison-derived, Crack-Head-Hoe type Slum-Rap music which is causing great tragedy among the youth of this generation, and in society in general.  This music is very dark, and sung/performed for the purpose of gaining FING Bling.

 

Perhaps this music is a sign of the sins of our past, namely Black American Slavery and Slave Ships.  In fact, almost no dirty deed goes unpunished if we wait long enough.  And, for sure, America has been punished, for hundreds of years, with the aftereffects of the enslavement of the Black Africans.  The descendants of America's slaves will never forgive The White Man. And, even today, the vast majority of America's young black males are held captive in the ghettos of American cities, prisoners of their past, and of their inability to gain an education, and their pornographic values. Culturally speaking, it's almost impossible to interact with these young black bucks that now carry guns and sell drugs in their hoods.  In fact, drug-selling and drug-taking is their only economy in town, their only means to support themselves. And, it is only natural for them to wish to glorify and romanticize their Ghetto-life Lives through their Garbage Music.  They know no better. They have lived in their Alien Ghetto world their entire lives...and they don't know no better.

 

EVEN IF you were to try to take a black child out of the ghetto and send them to one of the premier, mostly white, boarding schools in the North East of the USA, these children, no matter if one or two outliers might be halfway intelligent, would fail and wish to return to what they know best, the trash and crime-ridden streets where they were born, and where they were exposed to the dregs of their garbage lives.

 

I feel no need to read their trash books, or listen to their trash music which is fundamentally dark and pessimistic.

 

The main REASON we feel affinity for some forms of music rather than other forms of music is primarily cultural. 

 

The Salad Woman, and those like her, is a product of the new culture in America.

This cannot be changed, and there is no point in trying to change it.

The era of the Great White Man is at an end.

White Men will always retain power in America.

But it will be those from low-class urban and suburban ghettos who will rule the streets of America.

 

We need more gated communities, obviously.

 

And, for sure, we need to build a higher and stronger wall than Trump had ever dreamed of.

 

We do not have a choice.

The browning of America began long in the past.

I do not see this as being inherently good or bad.

It just is.

 

I prefer the cultures of Asia, specifically East Asia, and a bit of SE Asia.

 

African-American culture should be relegated to where the sun don't shine.

 

I will remain happy in Asia.

And, my fellow Americans can enjoy living with the Africans in America, which is only the result of their past sins..

I am perfectly fine with that.

 

I will dine on fine Asian food.

And my fellow-Americans which I long-ago left behind can suffer their fare of watermelon, fried chicken, and greens.

 

Nothing will change, do what they will.

Not so fast.

There are also many Democrats that will NEVER, ever, vote for the Word-Salad Woman.

Not even the first time!

 

There is just no way that the Salad Chef will ever rise to the office of POTUS.

No way.

 

The gods are against it.

 

Although, it certainly is true that all candidates are garbage, yet if one is to vote, one must just hold ones nose and vote for the least smelly garbage of them all.

 

So sad that the democrats actually did have the opportunity, in late 2023...to find a highly qualified candidate among the many potential candidates available.

They chose, instead, to not do so.

 

 

INSTEAD, We all got the ....

They are ALL nothing but flimflam artists and hucksters.

Politics is about addition not subtraction. Trump doesn't know how to grow his base (picking JD as VP and attacking Harris over her ethnicity has only hurt him). Many former Trump voters have had enough of his chaos, division and vengeance. It's these voters that caused Trump to lose in 2020 and will cause him to lose again in 2024.

Don't try to tell me the ol' "wait until she's the actual nominee" because he already debated with the presumptive nominee before the Democratic Convention.

LOL. If you think Biden was going to be replaced at convention ( before the debate ) I have several hardly used bridges for sale. While it's probable that Harris will be the chosen one it's not set in stone that she will be.

 

In any event, there is no onus on Trump to do the debate with anyone other than the agreed opponent.

I think he should just not do a debate as that would annoy the Dems and he has nothing to gain by doing one. Apparently they normally have no effect on the actual election.

I like Trump attacking her, and I'm sure only those that would have voted for her are offended by it. IMO she deserves to be attacked for being incompetent ( complete failure on the border ).

 

Given why people vote for Trump, I doubt a single one will vote for her, even if they don't vote for him.

 

IMO this election might be decided by how many voters stay at home on voting day.

Trump withdrawing from the debate would not annoy the democrats but embolden them. It just adds to their campaign that Trump is afraid to talk about the issues.

Agree 100 % on that. IMO it was all planned when he picked her as VP. They failed to get the female POTUS in 2016 ( and thank the deity they did ), and this one could have been planned by the Bene Gesserit, so devious it is.

 

Other than that, the only explanation I can see is that Biden had a massive stroke and they did a Dave ( for those that don't get the reference google the movie ).

I guess you haven't seen the news in the last 10 days? I don't think Dems will be staying home on election day but maybe MAGA will. The enthusiasm for Harris has been huge since Biden dropped out. So many Dems are excited now they are starting to call the Harris campaign a movement. And the polls have shifted. Harris is now tied or ahead in the swing states. There's still a long way to go but as of now I'd rather be sitting where Harris is than Trump.

After 7 1/2 years of insults, IMO there is nothing that hasn't been tried before, and it hasn't put him off or lost his base.

Bring it on, and it'll just give Trump more to attack the Dems on.

He's done nothing but talk about issues for the past 7 1/2 years.

It's called PR or ( my preference ) propaganda.

If she is so wonderful why didn't she win any primaries?

If she is so fantastic why does she have nothing as VP to prove how qualified she is to be POTUS.

Does she have any business or international experience?

Does she have any qualifications for being POTUS, other than being "black" and a female?

She was a local prosecutor, Attorney General of California and Senator from California. I guess you prefer bankrupted felons for qualifications?

WOW! You wrote exactly what I think of that so called music. However, IMO it's not music as it does nothing to lift the soul, to bring joy to the listener, to raise us out of the despair that has gripped western society. Can't even dance to it.

To me it's just annoying noise, like the garbage truck emptying the garbage bins.

Take rap, full of the most vile, revolting words ever pretending to be entertainment.

 

Thankfully, it's not representative of Black culture, and I have Jazz, Blues, Rock and Roll from the some of the greatest musicians I was ever fortunate enough to hear.

I feel sorry for those that can't afford a gated community in the future as outside the gate it will be an unhappy life for sure. I hope to be across the great divide before that becomes necessary in NZ.

 

Perhaps Elon and his new Eden on Mars will be the only hope for a better future for humanity. Hopefully without big bombs or the military industrial complex.
