"To be very clear, being a person of color is not a choice. We do not decide to just be a race because it's fitting, is opportunistic. Many of us, especially in America, are born into a country that has systematically marginalized its Black and brown people, and yet, now we are being accused of appropriating our own race."

#1 - I'm sure the N-word gets tossed around among Dotard and his crotch sniffers all the time. I'm sure PeeWee German (Stephen Miller) and Vladimir Futon use it on the regular. Dotard, as he continues his cognitive crash, will eventually slip up and drop the N-word at a Klan rally in the next month or two.

Sometimes I wonder if fmr Pres trump said what he did at the NABJ Conference trying to bait those journalists who were on stage asking him questions.

And when that failed, the interview was cut short from its scheduled hour by the Trump campaign.

Combo racial identification can be accurate or it can be brief and most people want the brief meaning they want a one-word answer. For example if you're from North Ireland they don't want to hear that they will accept Irish or British.

Lets deal with reality, instead of making things up. The event started 30 min late because of audio issues, ended on time, Trump had another rally to attend to that afternoon.

So what else ya got?

Then ...

"I'm Black, and I'm proud of being Black," Harris said in 2019. "I was born Black. I will die Black, and I'm not going to make excuses for anybody because they don't understand." - 2019.

See she the issue is that she's a chameleon, anyone who has ever been around liars would know this isn't someone you can trust.

She could just say she's biracial. No big deal. But she can't, this is known as CodeSwitching, its dishonest.

Yeah, but the United States is not Northern Ireland.

I often identify my ancestors as being from two very separate countries.

Indeed, even the Census allows for declaration of combo racial identification.

So, why does fmr Pres Trump seem to have so much difficulty with it.

Is he just trying to create a new ~birtherism~ talking point for his campaign?

... Donald Trump's audacious lie about Vice President Kamala Harris' race confirmed what many had long suspected: running against a Black woman could summon the former president's worst impulses. ...

So, fmr Pres Trump's solution to the demons in his mind seem to be to deny that VP Harris is Black.

Is Kamala Harris Black?

... Is Kamala Harris Black?

Harris, 59, has long embraced her Black and South Asian identity.

She is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother " both immigrants.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), she was raised in a predominantly Black neighbourhood in Berkeley, California, because her mother believed that her daughters would eventually be recognised as Black women and wanted them to be surrounded by strong role models.

In her youth, she also attended Howard University, a historically Black institution in Washington, DC, and joined Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation's oldest sorority established for Black college women in 1908.

Harris became a member of the Congressional Black Caucus after entering the Senate in 2017.

"I'm Black, and I'm proud of being Black," Harris said in 2019. "I was born Black. I will die Black, and I'm not going to make excuses for anybody because they don't understand." ...

Usually Trump is very quick about coming up with pet names to demean and belittle people.

But this time his giant brain is failing him. He can't seem to find a "niche" for Kamala Harris.

Calling her "black" isn't going to shock anybody out of a coma.

Trump is stumped!

So, your current alias seems to admit two things...

1) you just cannot walk across the border, i.e., there's paperwork.

2) the company that hired you did so for low wages.

Wow.

Excellent point. The Vice-President should start referring to herself as "half Aryan".

In apartheid-era South Africa, Asiatic Indians like Usha Vance would have been classified as "Colored" and African Blacks were called "Natives."

Trump has long cosplayed a genetics expert, opining about eugenics (or, as he calls it, "the racehorse theory"). Of which, apparently, Eric and Don, Jr., are examples.

Personally, I thought Harris' jab of "If you got something to say about me, say it to my face" was the best sound byte of the last several election cycles. She nailed Trump's cowardice, racism, and misogyny all in one line. I have yet to hear an appropriate response from either Trump or the MAGAts.

Agreed.

Trump doesn't have the guts. Women in general, and black women specifically, in positions of power make him soil his diaper.
