Mr Trump has questioned Ms Harris's racial identity.

Only a racist would care.

Only a racist would care if they pretend to be a certain race for political expediency?

It can't be pretending if she actually has both Indian and black roots, which she does

I have a friend who is half black, and half Hungarian. She considers herself black but also loves her Hungarian heritage. Last I heard she was even teaching herself to speak Hungarian. She's both Hungarian and black

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

I think they have internal rules against it.

You have some cthuzpah to ask.

Have you forgotten who we are talking about?

 

[Soandso]

I know a lot of people have been calling MAGAs weird lately, but this is the kind of thing right wingers concern themselves with and it's icky

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.

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

Of course it's happening. Your blindness is meaningless

 

[Ignatius A]

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?

I explained why I care. Try to read please.

Nope.

Your empty assertions are meaningless.

 

[We Never Know]

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.

Race is a political stunt from both sides.

-The right questioning her race
-The left using her race to push/advertise her

.Only a racist would care.

Simple minds, simple conclusions

 

[Ignatius A]

Your empty assertions are meaningless.

Again I can't make Stevie Wonder see anything

 

[Ignatius A]

You are showing promise.

I wish I could say the same for you

My kids are predominately Scottish and African American. Two identify as predominately African American and two identify as predominately Scottish. They don't change up how they speak though, depending on the audience.

 

[Soandso]

I explained why I care. Try to read please.

Your explanation isn't all that convincing. Like I said, who are you to judge who is and is not authentically black? She has from the very beginning talked about her black roots. She's also talked about her Indian roots. So what?

 

[Pogo]

I know a lot of people have been calling MAGAs weird lately, but this is the kind of thing right wingers concern themselves with and it's icky

That is rather the point, it makes them think about why they are icky, they don't care about their other negative attributes.
I doubt they are going to lay claim to being the weird party.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Again I can't make Stevie Wonder see anything

You haven't shown anything. Just asserted it.

I mean that's cool for your kids, but what of my friend who claims both her roots? When she's hanging out with her dad's family she's not gonna start talking about Hungarian stuff because honestly it's not relevant to that family dynamic and vice versa if she's spending time with her mom's family. Why does someone have to pick one or the other and why can't both identities help to define someone?

Both identities certainly can and usually do co exist in multi racial people. But I am talking about people who literally change the way they talk around certain ethnic groups. It's ridiculous. Sort of like my ex husband, who was African American, adopting a German accent to his American English when he was talking with a German person. Calling himself Gayorg, instead of George, WHICH WAS HIS NAME, that sort of thing.

This reminds me so much of how racists treated Michelle Obama.
