I hope I'm not offending & that it's ok to post this here.
I did not know how to post a screenshot here, so I cut and pasted from Malcom Nance's twitter feed. -

(9,090 posts)the think tanks (in russia too?) will settle on some major lies and memes and 1500 radio stations will blast them continuously to 50 mil a week, often endorsed by our majority black university sports teams, and the harris supporters will never notice except for the bits coming by on the twitter, etc....

(13,538 posts)Some people dont consider you "REAL black" if you arent a descendent of slaves. Like Pres Obama; his dad came from Kenya & his mom was white. Remember the history of people asking, in 07, if he was "black enough"?
Ridiculous, but its there.

(10,175 posts)They were sinister villains in that book. I don't remember ever seeing the movie. Here's an excerpt from a fascinating article with a link:
Abstract
In Dr. No, Ian Flemings 1958 novel, Cold War hero James Bond must defeat the Cold War villain Doctor No and his Jamaican Chinese henchmen, who Fleming calls Chinese Negroes or the Chigroes. This article examines the characterization of hybridity as a threat to British purity and empire represented in Doctor No, who is of German and Chinese ancestry, and his mixed-race African, Chinese minions. Set in Jamaica, the novel, the sixth of the James Bond series, provides a fascinating, intimate portrait of pre-independence Kingston and Afro-Asian intimacies. Though the representation of these Afro-Asian intimacies are largely erased from the 1962 film, Dr. No, the first of the major James Bond movies, race is coded in various Orientalist forms, including yellowface. In many ways, both the novel and the film can be viewed as responses to the crisis of decolonization for Britain. The Chigroes and Doctor No come to represent a Black and Yellow Peril perhaps triggered by the Afro-Asian coalitions that were beginning to form at conferences such as Bandung in 1955 that threatened to decenter Europe.

(41,634 posts)Why should Russians have anything to say about American politicians or candidates for office? Why are black Americans (who also support Chump) choosing to follow instructions from Russian cyber attackers?

(12,667 posts)They are of Slavic ethnicity which is really Eurasian what with the historical human traffic between China and Russia. I thought Racist didn't approve of anyone but Anglo-Saxons.
This arbitrary race distinction should work both ways.
FakeNoose
(41,634 posts)They are happy to use racist Americans to divide other racist Americans.
Whether the Russians have racial "purity" or not is a question they'd rather avoid.
Farmer-Rick
(12,667 posts)But I think I'll keep that Eurasia/Slav label up my sleeve the next time someone bashes a Democratic leaders's ethnicity/race.

(14,605 posts)Obama had to counter as a candidate. He said "Watch me try to get a cab in Manhattan if you don't think I'm considered 'Black'".
Another time, at a meet and greet for him in a posh New York home, a clueless attendee turned to him and asked for a refresh on their cocktail.
