"bro"?

What is it that you you mean by 'bro'?

 

Who talks like that?

 

And, more importantly, who WRITES like that?

 

Where are you from?

To me Kamala’s dna history is irrelevant trump blundered rite into it .his attempt to intimidate the lady journalists with his nasty questions comments steered him directly into this latest debacle.He got played yet again it’s akin to taking candy from a baby how easily he can be misdirected.My point being no matter how you feel about trump this ease of misdirection is a flaw and another big reason he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the White House again!ditch the albatross!

So, just not going to address the SCOTUS ruling or the accepted claim of Aryan race. Ok. Up to you. 

 

Science and law have definitions. Your goal us obfuscation. Weird. I wonder why? 

Science has no definition for race.

 

Do you disagree?

Nope. 

 

Kamala Harris is black.

 

Do you disagree?

She's not denying being black. She's claiming to be black despite being predominantly Indian. 

 

Why? The black vote is more important than the Indian vote. It's not complicated. 

 

It depends how capable one is of understanding the complexities. In Kamala Harris's case, she is biracial, with a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. While she may be "predominantly" Indian in terms of her ancestry, that does not negate her black identity. It's entirely possible to identify with multiple races or ethnicities simultaneously, and Harris has spoken openly about her experience as a woman of color and her commitment to addressing issues affecting black communities in the United States. Furthermore, reducing Harris's racial identity to a simple political calculus of "the black vote" vs. "the Indian vote" is overly simplistic and ignores the many factors that shape people's political beliefs and values.

 

[Danderman123]

Trump's campaign is in a death spiral. Absent a black swan event, Kamala Harris is likely to get 90%+ of the Black vote.

 

The big question is turnout of the youth vote. The Dem GOTV operation is the biggest ever created, hopefully GOTV is going to swamp Trump.

Old white man tells Black journalists that a Black woman isn't Black.

 

The sad thing is how many Trumpers here believed him.

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 , 

You seem oblivious to the truth.

 

Kamala Harris was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

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. 

You got conned by Trump, and made a really ignorant post.

 

Kamala Harris is of Indian ethnicity, and is Black. Do you disagree?

He told them that a mixed race (but predominantly Indian) woman is not black.

 

Details matter.

 

It was old white man Biden who told black people they are not black (if they vote Trump) maybe you are confusing the two?

 

Harris previously used to always be the "first American Indian to be xxxx" now she is claiming to be black to get the black vote. It's not complicated.

 

She grew up Indian she looks Indian and has an Indian name. She's a fraud. An imposter. Trump is simply pointing this out.

Its obviously proving a challenge for many Trump supporters to grasp. That a persons looks, ethnicity and skin are such a decisive issue for them that they think shes a fraud when their are so many other things in life to worry about.

Kamala Harris attended Howard University and joined a Black sorority. She was a member of the Black Congressional Caucus.

 

You are just inventing stuff now. Why would you do that? Do you feel good posting lies here?

She just happened to have a black father! 😁

[Danderman123]

I am quoting Trump here:

 

"I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black"

 

Here is what the Trump campaign said in 2020:

 

"I'll note that Kamala Harris is a Black woman and he donated to her campaign," Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson said Tuesday in a call with reporters. "So I hope we can squash this racism argument."

 

So, really what this discussion is about is Trump's memory failure. He donated to Kamala Harris knowing she was Black, and then forgot.

 

You Trumpers are trying to defend Trump with convoluted theories about race, when this is about Trump having a brain fade.

 

For the record, when I voted for her back in the day in California, I didn't know she was Indian, she was the first Black California senator, IIRC.

[Danderman123]

Kamala Harris officially becomes the first Black woman to be a major party's vice presidential nominee

 

This was news from 2020.

 

Question for the Trumpers: did you really miss all the hype in 2020 about Kamala Harris being the first Black VP?

 

If so, the issue isn't Kamala Harris, it's your memory.

So there are two options: Trump is either a liar or a senile guy with memory issues! 🤣

I would go for both + orange........😬

[Danderman123]

As for being black, she said it plainly: “I am black and I am proud to be black. I was born black. I will die black and I am not going to make excuses for anyone because they don’t understand.”

 

From 2019.

 

This is about the ignorance of the Trumpers, not Kamala Harris' DNA.

Sounds like Trump attended in good faith, was ambushed with accusations, defended himself and pointed out the mistreatment, and now the MSM is doing their job of trying to spin it like he's the bad guy... 🙄

 

A typical biased hit-piece.

Trump was asked tough questions, and couldn't answer.

 

So he deflected.

Black or Indian what's the point?

The point is to gaslight Trump supporters into thinking Kamala Harris is a fraud. Just like they believed that Obama was born in Kenya.

 

The more gullible Trumpers bought the lie.

Are you implying that her father has Indian heritage? (1+1 does not equal 2/3.)

 

If so, how do you know?

 

If not, then you just sound foolish unless you are a genetic specialist with access to private information.

 

Of course the most likely answer is that you sound foolish because.........

Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, was arrested during a KKK-related riot in 1927, though the charges against him were later dropped.

Fred Trump is reported to have downplayed his German heritage, promoting a narrative that the family was of Swedish descent, to appeal to the Jewish community during a time of anti-German sentiment post-WWII.

Donald Trump continued this narrative by downplaying his German heritage by claiming it was also Swedish.

Now that's real racism.

'Black and proud': Harris has never shied away from racial identity

 

And as that article also points out: 

 

Quote

As she progressed through her career -- elected San Francisco district attorney in 2003 and California's attorney general in 2010 -- she was consistently identified as Black or African American in media reports.

 

[Elkski]

All this wasted time talking about race.  So is she 25% black, 50% Indian, 25% Irish?  Most of us would be surprised by a ancestry DNA test.    All this talk is to distract the trumpeters from the real issues that matter to them.   So many still claim their finances were better under trump.   Only way is if they sold trump souvenirs.

It came from @Hanaguma saying (or at least implying) that she does not share in the Black American experience, partly because she is not a descendant of slaves. 

 

Given that her father is Afro-Jamaican however, there is every possibility that some of her ancestors on her father's side, were indeed slaves.
