The point of the race conversation about Kamala is to get African Americans to abondon her

[Renew Deal]

They think that if they can somehow prove she's not "black" that African Americans won't vote.

1. Kamala Harris is as black as Barak Obama

Both their fathers were African-Americans, making them biracial.

On edit: Kamala Harris' father was Jamaican-African-American.

3. You don't need to prove she's black

That’s not the point. It’s not about facts.

4. yep and if he and his knuckle dragging 'handlers' think

that by him questioning her race is somehow a winning position for him they're about to find out different IMO

7. Totally agree

I don't think anyone outside of the MAGA circle questions her ethnicity, and 100% of people of color would find questioning her ethnicity to be highly offensive. But this appears to be a new campaign strategy as it was shown on screens at his rally this evening.

2. Exactly

It won’t work. People have eyes and can she that she is clearly black.

5. Bingo - they're that perverse.

6. all race BS aside...

how would any half-sentient being choose the T-orange-SF over the 'on the side of sanity and humanity' Harris is beyond comprehension. We need to stop reducing things to race, sex, sexual orientation, etc all persuasions of people. Either you have at least half a brain or not. There is no hope for the latter, so hope they are outnumbered by the former.

8. I don't think it's that deep. Trump is just a grumpy old racist and was trying to change the subject

because he didn't know how to put lipstick on the pig he had created with all the racist attacks.

9. I agree. This was Russian propaganda in 2019 that attempted to tank her campaign. ADOS

ADOS - American Descendants of Slavery -was promoted heavily in 2019 - Malcolm Nance tried to warn people. Some people did fall for the okey doke.
trump is trying to revive it. There were some idiots back then having the stupid argument that she's not black.

It won't work - The people who fell for this crap, are the stupid black people he already has. Yes I said they are stupid.

My MAGA adjacent friend - also stupid - tried to tell me the same ADOS crap. I said, by that standard, then some of the people you revere are not black. Let's go through the list. Marcus Garvey - Not black - He was born in Jamaica. Stokley Carmichael - Not black - He was born in Trinidad. Harry Belafonte - Not black - His parents are from the Caribbean. Sir Sidney Poitier - Not black. Born in the Bahamas.
Shit, Nelson Mandela, definitely not black - He was born and lived his whole life in South Africa. How about Malcolm X? Part black? or not black? His mom was born in Grenada. Oh what about the pioneers of hip hop? DJ Kool Herc- Not black. Born in Jamaica. Basquiat? Not black. His dad was Haitian and Mom from Puerto Rico.

He didn't have much to say.. Such a stupid conversation. trump is trying to get us to talk in circles.

11. I don't care if she's purple, pink or whatever
