Donald and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Interview

[We Never Know]

I believe that the only really accurate way to assess Kamala Harris's racial background is to do a complete DNA workup to see the exact amount of it that each ancestor has contributed in the past. Then we can assess the full extent to which she is really a "race chameleon" as Twilight Hue has claimed, and this important election year issue can be objectively presented to the public, which has a right to know. Meanwhile, I'm quite certain that Donald Trump is 100% racially pure. You can tell that by just looking at him, but you have to imagine him without the orange makeup.

Why would anyone want/need a DNA test when it doesn't matter?

The qualifications for being president doesn't include a DNA test, sex or race.


The U.S. Constitution states that the president must:
-Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
-Be at least 35 years old.
-Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

But suddenly some people do not care about this one iota, because it's how people IDENTIFY. I bet they'd be pretty surprised at my kids, who haven't even dated anyone African American, though I wouldn't mind if they did. I mean, my kids LOOK African American. Their dad is actually pretty dark skinned and my kids vary but they all look African American and they are half African American (DNA tests prove this). So anyway, I agree with what you're saying but it will never happen. By the way, I wanted to point out something - I sent off my DNA results along with my husband's (not my first, African American husband - I dated and married a white guy after my first marriage). My dad had done tons of work on our family tree, which was full of dark haired and dark eyed people (myself included, though my skin is very pale) and stories about Native American princesses. But I sent both off because my poor husband, who looked totally like a Viking, with blonde hair, a straight nose, and blue eyes, didn't know much about his ancestry. Lo and behold, his came back showing southern European ancestry, and African American ancestry, and even Jewish ancestry, while mine only showed what I already knew - English, Scottish, and German. His was in technicolor and mine was all blue! I was so jealous! (And I didn't have a single drop of Native American ancestry.) And he looked like he could have been a poster child for the Lebensborn (Nazi Germany) program! So you never can tell.

My great grandson was just born, to parents who look totally white (though his mom is 1/4th African American). His skin is quite a bit darker than either of his parents.

There are more mixed race people than others realize as I pointed out in this post.

"It was also discovered that 10% of Black Americans are more than 50% white. And according to the same study there are 50 million whites with at least one Black ancestor"

This is interesting.

Both her parents were both Tamili with her father being in the elite Tamili Brahman caste. Harris decided to be a race chameleon focusing her father's side where his parents were afro Jamaican which is where the black part comes from and her mother raised her to be a "strong black woman".

So you've come here to double down on his stupid comments?

 

[Pogo]

Seriously? Sounds like something we might expect from the eugenics movement and the subsequent Third Reich.

Get this, people: neither white boys nor science get to determine whether or not Harris or any other black women is black enough.

No, you have been Poe'd. Read it again, tho a smilie might have been nice

 

[Pogo]

If what he said was true, it explains a little why he was pissy.

If he was invited there under false pretenses of being told his opponent would be there, then he was sorta set up IMO.

However it doesn't matter to me. Half of me wonders why he even stayed and set through it while the other half of me knows his ignorance and arrogance probably thought it would be good exposure.

I don't think is was, as posted by some other jounalists during the delay it was a disagreement about real time fact checking. You can imagine how that went.

 

[wellwisher]

I watched Donald Trump being interviewed in Chicago for the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), and I have to say, if this is a guy trying to drum up some support from black voters, he is totally off his rocker. It was, in my opinion, the single worst interview I have ever seen in my life -- and I've seen a lot.

Just one really quick quote, to give you a taste -- Trump claimed that Kamala Harris "has always been Indian, then decided to turn black, and should be investigated for it."

I'm linking just an overview by one (admittedly left-wing) source, but you can find the entire online if you wish, though I have to say I only recommend it to people who like poking dead animals with sticks.

Hiding Harris, was invited but she did not show up. Trump would mop the floor. This was a Lefty venue, but Trump neutralized the threat. As far as Kamal being Indian, her mother is from India.

Hiding Harris's name Kamala came from a tree species in India, Mallotus Philippensis, which is a plant used for die and natural medicine. Her mother was a cancer researcher may have chosen this name due to the sound and research in cancer. She would have been aware of this Indian tree and its medical properties. It produces rottlerin, a potent large conductance potassium channel opener.

Mallotus philippensis - Wikipedia

My guess based on that name; Kamala, she was brought up more on the Indian side. But the opportunists in her, saw claiming to be black opening more doors. It was like Senator Elizebeth Warren claiming to be American Indian to take a spot from a minority, when reverse racism was the rave.

This brings up another point, why is it conventional for a mixed race person, that involves part African, to always be referred to as black and not the other race. This is mostly an American artifact that goes back to the Democratic Party run slavery and segregation; one drop of black blood standard of white racial purity. This definition of black became convention with different states having standards from 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, black blood; DNA, and you were called black. It is an old fashion racist criteria that the DNC still pushes.

With DNA testing for hereditary more and more popular, so people can look up their background, the average black American is actually only 65% black. The DNC makes it hard to own the other 35% by keeping their old racist tradition alive.

Obama was 50% white and 50% black and was raised by the white side of his roots, but he was pegged as black due to the DNC standard. Harris is 50% black and 50% Indian, and if her mother was the primary influence, culturally, she is still black based on the classic DNC racist standard.

One way to end racism is to embrace all the extra genetic diversity in each person, since very few people are 100% anything based on DNA. Most have the drop. The artificial line in the sand, which does no justice to reality, creates a fake line of division. To just say Harris is Indian leads to the DNC base immediately trying to get her behind the line. We cannot talk about her Indian roots; drop of blood standard. That standard is insulting to everyone.

Yep. As I have said a few times before...

Why is Harris being portrayed as the...
- 'First Black female Asian American'
And not the...
-"First Asain female Black American"

Because its all about playing the race card.

"First Asain female Black American"
Doesn't sound as race appealing as
"First Black female Asian American'

 

[F1fan]

Which means is not as African-American to the extent that she thinks she is. Hence predominantly black. She's actually India American to the largest degree which is why I pointed her parents as being both Indian.

Now do you get it?

We get it. Racist right wingers have no problem being 100% racist against whatever percentage her heritage is black.

Yeah, it's definitely the DNC who are racists. Definitely not the party who has people who type stuff such as the above.

Are you seriously unable to read? His father is Donald J Harris. A Jamaican and definitely of African descent.

Nonsense, as she went to a black university and joined a black sorority.

OTOH, Trump is a racist supported by many other racists.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Which means is not as African-American to the extent that she thinks she is. Hence predominantly black. She's actually India American to the largest degree which is why I pointed her parents as being both Indian.

Now do you get it?

Dude! Stop digging. That quote was about her mother and her mother's parents. Her husband is not of Indian descent at all.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Nonsense, as she went to a black university and joined a black sorority.

OTOH, Trump is a racist supported by many other racists.

Then how do you defend Trump's attempts to save "Black Jobs"?? I guess someone has to pick that cotton

 

[Subduction Zone]

So you've come here to double down on his stupid comments?

Yep.

 

[Subduction Zone]

No, you have been Poe'd. Read it again, tho a smilie might have been nice

Poe's law is a very real thing. One always takes that risk if one is sarcastic at all in this sort of debate. . . . Oh oh,

 

[F1fan]

Then how do you defend Trump's attempts to save "Black Jobs"?? I guess someone has to pick that cotton

And do you know what Trump defines as a black job? It’s any job. So then why bring race into it at all, Mr. Trump?

It’s still an insult to black Americans because Trump says migrants (who don’t have many skills) are taking black jobs. That means black jobs are mostly unskilled to Trump.

But breaking news is that Russia has released Wheelan and the journalist from the Wall Street Journal, so that takes away one of Trump’s claims about being the only one who can get them released. I guess Putin is losing confidence in Trump and his getting elected.

 

[Alien826]

Geez. He is a clown lol

"Donald Trump, Donald Trump, he's a rump, that Donald Trump.
He's gonna get caught, just you wait and see,
'Why is everybody always looking at me?'"

Hopefully the reference is obvious.

Now do you get it?

Nope. Nobody gets it. A Jamaican father of African descent and an Indian descent mother makes the daughter...predominantly of Indian descent!?!

We are still discussing human biology correct?

Also please concede that you mis-spoke when you said both her father and mother are high caste Tamilians.

Speaking of biology...

Genetically, a person actually carries more of their mother's genes than their father's. We inherit more genes from our maternal side.
