Yeah, I read about that. I figured the campaign would get ugly as the months wear on. You ask, how low can Donald Trump descend? We will see.

I remember a song from the Grateful Dead which said, "I may be going to hell in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride."

She used to push her indian identity but now its time to be black.

Republicans don't seem to know that people can be a mix of several different races/ethnicities.

Why didn't she spout her black race/ethnicity before this? The simple mindedness of Democrats is disturbing.

?... But she did. Hell, even I knew she was black. I had no idea of her Indian herritage until it all the sudden mattered to conservatives for whatever reason

She chirped about her Indian heritage years ago. Try reading

She did "spout" it.

My question is, who cares what race(s) she is? I care about what kind of person she is.

I'm not a Democrat, buddy. And I promise you I'm not simple-minded.

Try writing a post without an attempted insult in it. I know you can do it!

I got better things to do with my time than to keep track of what race people are. If she has Indian roots, cool. If she has black roots, cool. As a white guy I can't comment much on her authenticity level on such matters cause honestly it don't concern me and the idea of inserting myself on the subject gives me the ick, so I'll pass

I dont care what race someone is I care when they pretend to be a certain race for political expediency. You should too but apparently not.

My father says said an honest man should never have to tell you he's honest. I've noticed that works for other attributes as well.

I notice people.bere are very easily "insulted".

Why can't you comment? Beyond that you should care when someone pretends to be a certain race for political expediency.

Some relevant context:

The moment was shocking, but for those who have followed Mr. Trump’s divisive language, it was hardly surprising. The former president has a history of using race to pit groups of Americans against one another, amplifying a strain of racial politics that has risen as a generation of Black politicians has ascended.

The audacity of Mr. Trump, a white man, questioning how much a Black woman truly belongs to Black America was particularly incendiary.
And it evoked an ugly history in this country, in which white America has often declared the racial categories that define citizens, and sought to determine who gets to call themselves what.

White America has long sought to define racial categories — and who can belong to them.

Good thing that isn't happening anywhere.

This thread is about Trump questioning another person's racial identity. You've turned it into "she's lying about her race" when the lies came from Trump's mouth - not hers.

My father says said an honest man should never have to tell you he's honest. I've noticed that works for other attributes as well.

Dude, you just accused me of being two things I am not.
If you think I'm not going to refute that, you're nuts.

I'm not insulted. Just pointing out the childishness of your post that included an attempted insult.

Nice attempt to turn it all around on me though, after you've just accused me of a bunch of stuff and called me names. I must be the bad guy here! LOL

But she's not pretending. She's biracial. She actually has both black and Indian roots. Who are you to judge who is authentically black or not? Why do you even care?

 

[Kathryn]

As the mother of four biracial kids, I don't have a problem with anyone identifying however they want but what I DO have a problem with is someone pandering to (and often talking like) a certain group of people saying they self identify as a certain skin tone, and then switching it up around a different group of people. Don't do that, folks.

Only a racist would care.

You are showing promise.

Or someone looking to sow division and discord by making much ado about nothing. That's all this stunt is. A pathetic attempt to undermine someone's authenticity by a rapist, felon, and con artist. Which honestly just makes this sort of funny when it's all laid out that way.
