Trump's Controversial Remarks at Black Journalists' Convention Sparks Outrage

[GammaGlobulin]

That black girl in blue reminds me of Michael Jackson.

Wonder if she, too, graduated from Howard "university".

Is there any reason why the video has us listening to music for OVER an hour, before anybody even starts talking?

Let me guess: you are upset because there were no white moderators. Therefore, no moderator was actually qualified.

I said no male moderator. It is assumed all parties ties would be black given the venue. I have no problem with that.

Are you questioning the credentials of Howard University?

 

Wow, you are hitting bottom.

The NABJ event went so well, Trump should do it again Real Soon Now.

This article is a lie , I watched the interview , Kamala claimed she was Indian before and now she is black , the president only stated that fact but the writer on here has not , I also see the evidence that she was claiming to be Indian but now’s she black , 

Kamala Harris has always been Black.

 

It's like if you said you were American, and someone claimed that meant you were hiding being white.

 

Indian = Nationality

 

Black = race.

Welcome to the Forum.

 

I hope we don’t have to go through the tortured of trying to explain mixed race again.

Nothing wrong with highlighting Harris's racial fluidity which changes direction like a flag in a tornado depending on her political needs.

 

The Dems continual attempts to downplay her Indian heritage? Now that's real racism. 

I would categorize that as your usual ill informed nonsense, but you’ve already engaged in long discussion in which Harris’s long standing views on her mixed race heritage were presented to you and your ignorance on the matter well and truly exposed.

 

Which leaves few doubts that you are now engaging in deliberate and practiced ignorance.

The black community will spot that Harris is an opportunist. An imposter.

 

They are not as stupid as you think.  

So now you speak for the black community in the US.

 

Are you wearing a ‘Blacks for Trump T-Shirt’?

 

Nobody will take your views on the matter seriously unless you are.

Trump did so poorly that his staff pulled him out faster than the Secret Service when Trump got shot.

They pulled him off when the discussion moved to Project 2025.

 

No better way to broadcast Trump’s Achilles heel.

 

Or at least the one his handlers are really concerned about.

I have been liking Scott Adams since I first discovered Dilbert around 1990.  Now, I think I love the guy.

 

“Oh my God it was perfect. It was good as the Rosie O’Donnell. In my mind this was as good as the Rosie O’Donnell play.

Did he look nervous? Nope.

Did he look completely comfortable the entire time he was under attack? Yes he did. He looked like a guy who could take a bullet in the f**ing ear and stand up and pump his fist and say ‘Fight fight fight!’. That’s the guy that showed up.

If shooting him doesn’t make him stop, I don’t think your list of insults will.

How much did I enjoy that? 10/10.

Who changed the conversation about all of politics? Trump did.

Did you hear the word weird yet today?

He managed to change the entire cycle to ‘Why are you being such a bitch’ basically.

 

I'll let you look that up on Twitter.  It's blocked here, and if I post a link to to my source, it'll be reported and deleted as an unapproved source. Even though it would only be an attribution as required by fair play, and not a statement of fact.

Scott Adams believes that nasty attacks on a female journalist will play well politically? That says a lot about Adams' disconnect from political reality. And yours.

The nasty attacks were the journalist on Trump. Wasting so much time on playing Word Police and not enough on the issues that African Americans actually care about. It turned into just another pile-on of personal attacks.  

 

Objectively, Trump was a good president for blacks.  

 

Also one of Harris' problems, which will surface going forward, is that she may be part black but she is not African American in the sense that most people understand. Descendants of slaves brought over in the 17-19th centuries. She is the daughter of academics and has no connection to that aspect of the 'Black Experience' in America. African American men especially see her as an opportunist and chameleon.

[Eric Loh]

Quelle suprise with his ugly performance. The racist and lying side of Trump was on full display at the NABJ and once again his supporters have to defend their dear leader. Even GOP leaders were aghast at his performance. Just on his temperament is sufficient to say that he is unfit to be the next President. Trump is now a downhill decline since Biden's decision and his recalcitrance to heed the House advise to stop making the election campaign base on race. Nothing is looking good for Trump in November.

The journalist asked tough questions. 

"You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congressmen, women of color, who were American citizens, to go back to where they came from. You have used words like 'animal' and 'rabid' to describe Black district attorneys...."

What's personal about this or any of the others? This is about what Trump has said. 

 

And thanks for speaking on behalf of African American men. Please share with us the evidence that your claim is fact-based.

Wow! So she has a variation of the affliction that fueled Obama's 'birther' nonsense?

 

There's nothing quite as emancipating as non-blacks telling folks how the blacks think and feel, is there?

She’s on the receiving end of the same racism as the descendants of black slaves, and it’s coming from the same source.

To older Black men, Harris’s biography is atypical, and she can be seen as an enigma. Her immigrant parents were from the upper classes of Jamaica and India, and she was predominantly raised in a South Asian household.  Black men may have doubts about her incarceration practices as a prosecutor in California, and, less important, about her marriage to a wealthy white corporate lawyer.

I'll go with a columnist who relies on numbers:

 

Donald Trump's Gains With Black Voters Have Been Wiped Out

A CNN poll conducted on July 22 and 23, surveying 1,631 registered voters who had previously participated in CNN polls in April and June, found that Harris had the support of 78 percent of Black voters, while Trump had 15 percent. A previous poll had 23 percent of Black voters backing Trump, while 73 percent backed Biden.

Meanwhile, an ActiVote survey, conducted between July 21 and 23, found Black voters were overwhelmingly backing Harris—90 percent said they were supporting Harris, while 10 percent were backing Trump.

Trump’s outreach to Black men hits a stumbling block: Kamala Harris

 In the days after Harris announced her candidacy, more than 50,000 Black men registered for a virtual event in her support, and one-third of them donated to her campaign, amounting to more than $1 million. In less than a week, Trump’s progress with Black voters seems to have been wiped out.
