Trump Campaign Attempts Damage Control Over Fiasco At Black Journalists' Conference

47. Calling someone a liberal doesn't bother me, as long as they are one.

It's not my place to criticize Harris if she says she's black. Or anyone else to list their heritage. I'm so mixed, it's crazy, but I look white, I was raised in the typical American white culture, and I won't lay claims to something I'm not. Not ashamed of any part of it, white, black (according to my sister's DNA test!), Native American or anything else that's in there.

I'm an American of mixed cultural heritage. Just like Kamala Harris, just like Trump, just like anyone here. And in the end, from the very beginning, we all come from Africa. Some of us will show Neanderthal DNA, or Denisovan, or some or part of several other human species through the many years since we split from apes.

So what? Modern man comes in many flavors. We should celebrate how far we've come, how far we could still go. Be different, but work for all.

Oh, and I passed "liberal" about forty years back, and even "progressive" is starting to seem too restrictive these days.
