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

[We Never Know]

As I said race can not always be quantified by fractions, I did not say it never can. That depends on a variety of factors like the ones I spelled out in post 11.

But there is no such thing as 100% anything. Every human being on earth shares genetic material with every other human being. And we share phenotypic traits as well,

Someone can be biracial, but what are their experiences in the world? Do security guards follow them around stores because they are "black", or do only half the security follow them? Can they get picked up by half a taxi? You see how it is not so simple.

This is interesting.

"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"

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.

What a trainwreck... I like this comment under the video:

He dug the biggest hole. Huge. Nobody has ever seen a hole this big. A man with a shovel came up to him with tears in his eyes and said “sir….”

Of course fox had a different take,
Harris Faulkner: Much of NABJ audience ‘was enjoying’ Trump interview

Then again,

Are you sure about that? Once again it appears that you did not read your own source since it does not make the claims that you make. In fact it says this about Harris's father:

"Donald was born in Jamaica in 1938. He was the son of Afro-Jamaican parents, and he had the majority of his schooling in the country. He eventually graduated from the University of the West Indies, per Biography."

The third one now that's not paying attention you just want to see what you want to see and ignore what's essentially biting you right in the face.

 

[Spice]

Geez. He is a clown lol

I couldn't make it to the 8 minute mark. Unbelievable.

Again you completely bypass what was obvious and looking at you right in the face. In fact, I'll put the snippet right here for everybody to see because like I said, a bunch of you just don't pay attention or don't want to.

"Shyamala was a Tamil Indian-American born in the southeastern state of Tamil Nadu. Her father, P.V. Gopalan, was a senior civil servant and a member of the privileged, elite, ancient Tamil Brahmin caste, Biography reports. "

I had to watch it all just to hear some of the crazy stuff that he would come up with lol

That's Kamala's mother's parents. Yes, her Indian grandparents were of an elite caste.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Finally. Someone paying attention.

Harris' parents, Donald Harris and Shyamala Gopalan, were both born in 1938. Donald was the son of Afro-Jamaican parents, and he attended local schools before graduating from the University of the West Indies.

And yesterday's interview wasn't much better:

Trump claims Harris, who's married to a Jewish man, 'doesn't like Jewish people'

Former President Donald Trump has tried to capitalize on divisions in the Democratic Party over the Israel-Hamas war and sought to paint his political opponents as antisemitic while overlooking some of his own past comments and behavior.

[Absolutely Frank]

Finally. Someone paying attention.

When you are discussing a subject with someone it is necessary to clarify whom you are referring to. Your original statement wasn't clear has to whether you were talking about Kamala or her mother, which caused understandable confusion. But instead of being polite you decided to be hostile and aggressive accusing everyone who asked you to clarify of not paying attention. Why did you choose to do that instead of simply clarifying what you meant?

Is that where he said any Jew's voting democrat are fools?

Yep

Play back disabled that means it's only for the monetization and likes and subscribes making this a piece of clickbait garbage.

Yes, cause WTKR News 3 would not want their original content published all over the internet...

But you go with your conspiracy.

 

[F1fan]

Obviously you don't pay attention.

Not to what right wingers claim. Reputation matters.

LMAO!! Shyamala is not Kamala. did you not notice that the names are spelled differently. That should have been a clue. That describes Shyamala's two parents.

 

[F1fan]

I saw it as more playing to his base who really does get worked up and pissed off over this nonsense.

Trump is an idiot who keeps working hard to reinforce the votes of people who will already vote for him no matter what. Meanwhile he's losing the black voter. Trump seems to think he has so many voters already that he can aford to **** off quite a few.

Like those who made a stink and fuss over Obama and their belief he isn't black. These are people who are really stupid, dumb and offensive when it comes to race, the sort who see an American Hispanic individual and think "Mexican."

Yeah, right wingers think anything south of Texas is Mexico. Ask them where Argentina is and they think it must be close to Germany since that's where all the Nazis went. Ask them about Brazil and they say it's an island near Australia. No, that's New Zealand.

Maybe he believes in the virgin birth. At least he got the sex of the resulting child correct. Kamala's father is obviously just like Joseph. Father in name only. I wonder if I am "paying attention" now?

 

[McBell]

ALWAYS get a receipt...

then you can prove your payment
