Watching Trump’s Q & A with a panel of three journalists, all black women, at today’s National Association of Black Journalists…

Holy S**T. Dead silence as he’s introduced, I mean CRICKETS. And the first question - SAVAGE.

The victory for 51-year-old Harris makes her the first Indian-American senator. Harris was backed by President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other top Democrats.

Sanchez, a 10-term congresswoman, tried to consolidate support from Republicans and Latinos, but with little success.

Vote pandering.  Being authentic. She could have said, hey I'm primarily Indian but a large portion of my heritage is black. 

Just switching to black when it suited her wasn't bad enough. She had to fake adopt an accent when speaking in the south.  Real blacks see through her.  

Then OMG Trump dared to point it out. Hysteria!

Kamala went to the historical black college to set this all up. The long con. Smart.

Very true. Obama was the master so high bar to meet there.

Obama and Kamala both spent much of their formative years in other countries. Weird

Joe Biden was asked to stand down from the race after his disastrous and incoherent debate performance.

Why isn’t Donald Trump being asked to stand down from the race for being *too stupid* to understand you can be both Black *and* Indian?

I mean, come on.

Well for one thing if Trump stands down JD Vance becomes the nominee.

Donald doubling down on the Kamala isn’t black thing

Some talking head yesterday had a good line on CNN…Trump crapped the bed, now we’ll see if he changes the sheets or rolls around in it.

Talk about tone deaf. 

[IGotWorms 4,057]

Trump’s problem is he usually gets to do this stuff over years with whispers and so forth that can get amplified and spread around social media by Putin’s trolls. Like with birtherism and all his other vicious smears. He gets to sort of claim deniability in some way (“everybody says” and all that other crap) while still giving and pushing the message.

But he doesn’t have time to do that now. He has to try to compress the timeline and just come out swinging on full force.

And apparently when he does that, it becomes apparent that he’s just a miserable piece of sh1t that no one should support. Which is focking awesome. Seems like the Democrats finally figured out how to crack that Teflon

She's not of African decent, but the point of her claiming blackness is that in America it gives you the right to claim being a victim of systemic racism.

From that standpoint, she is black.  Due to the color of her skin, she would've been subjected to the same systemic racism that defines so many black American lives, and thus makes her worthy of receiving black American's votes.

Now is she going to actually do anything for black Americans?  Of course not.

She said she's black.

She acknowledges that her parents are Indian and Jamaican.  

I guess the Jamaican piece opens the door to have a piece of African descent, but having dark skin doesn't mean you've descended from Africa.

I mean if we just need trace amounts of African heritage, everyone can claim they are African American.

Trump questioning whether Kamala is black is very weird.

I couldn't.

My ancestors arrived in the 1880s in this country and settled in North Dakota from Norway, Germany and Wales. I'm almost certain none of them had any African heritage.
