Seems like the VP made quite a bit of difference on January 6th. Thankfully, he didn't get in that car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was implying here: Edited August 1 by chasfh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 44 minutes ago, gehringer_2 said: But that's the thing, the black community is past that, anyone who isn't white white is basically an honorary member because they share the common experience of non-whiteness in America. Beside - there is no particular profit in the US in claiming to be DESI anyway - it's a straw man. Like a wise man once said, "race" is a social construct. It only exists in the mind of the beholder. That doesn't make it less powerful, just more foolish. So true. A substantial percentage of people who are considered white southerners have black ancestors in their bloodlines. Under the South's one-drop rule they would have been targeted by Jim Crow, but because they looked white enough, their family was considered white, lived in white neighborhoods and were embedded in white institutions such as schools and churches, they got to perpetrate Jim Crow instead. And that's because it was society that made them "white", not God, who doesn't dabble in such foolishness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kacie Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 38 minutes ago, romad1 said: One question...do you think Trump imagines Kamela Harris is the Native American type Indians and not South Asian Indian because he was anti-Indian casino when he ran that sort of business into the ground? It seems so stupid, but incredibly plausible for Trump. Just like he doesn't know the difference between political asylum and an insane asylum. I was also just reading some online speculation that he may have in the moment confused the Vice President with Nikki Haley in regards to thinking she was always Indian. So, the slut shaming didn't stick, or the laugh or she's a crazy woman, but hey, let's try this she doesn't know what race she is. That's totally going to get us the black vote!

Tiger337 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 1 hour ago, Tigeraholic1 said: My point being maybe African Americans might not like that she is called Indian American when it helps her in some way. But Black when it helps another way. She will be called the first African American woman president right? Not saying black should or will vote for Trump but they feel used. She graduated from Howard University. I doubt she would have gone there if she didn't identify as Black. Her mother was from India, so she surely identifies as Indian too. There are millions of biracial people in this country who don't choose one race as their identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
