Biden later said his comments were a “mistake.”
So everyone agrees that statement from Biden was bad. Including Biden. Can we now do the same for Trump’s statement? Including Trump?
I know you’re sad he’s not running anymore, but we’re not going back.
“Many fine people have told me that I was the blackest president in American history. It’s true, folks. And that’s why coloreds should vote for me instead of Laffin’ Kamindian. Did you know she’s half-Indian? What’s up with that? She’s also a FEMALE, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s a disgrace.”
weirdo says weird racist shit
Black
She was a proud Indian until it became popular to be black.
As usual the party of dishonesty is gaslighting the world and the drones lap it up.
Was she a proud Indian when she chose to go to Howard University, a historically black college? When she joined Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically black sorority, that must have been odd if she considered herself Indian instead of black.
She has considered herself both black and Indian for a very long time.
No she hasn’t, it was one or the other which was most convenient.
Like Key and Peele?
I’m guessing you don’t know any mixed race people.
“What are you, a father or a son?! You act like whichever is convenient for you at the time, you big phony!!”
That’s what you sound like right now. It’s pretty weird that you can’t understand mixed-race people; it’s pretty simple.
I have a truck that can drive on roads and rail tracks. I use the method most convenient at the time.
So you’re saying you can pick your race?
Joines 3 hours ago to start spewing nonsense about not understanding basic lineage. Are you a nut job or just someone who needs to find a life?
Because she’s both. Her mom is Indian, and her dad is Afro-Jamaican. That makes her ethnicity both Indian and Afro-Jamacian. There are people out there with mixed ethnicities.
Then why does your media only ever promote the black side?
Depends which news outlets you look at.
The one doing the interview with Trump
Right neer da beech
From the people who brought you “one drop of blood”, we present you “not black enough” AND “not really black”.
Scratch your head and phone a friend while you wrap your head around the latest double speak.
Watch in amazement as they subdivide diverse groups based on superficial differences, like geography.
It’s quite easy tho
It’s bad when it’s good, and it’s good when it’s bad
“Are you with ABC?” Trump continued. “Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network, and I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.”
Uh, it’s “faith”, dipshit. “Came here in good faith” is the expression. Good spirit(s) are when you’re happy.
Are you just, like, stroking out all the time? Or is that just you being a stupid motherfucker. How could we tell?
I’m no Trump apologist, but I have to admit that I do very much like the act of looking a journalist in the eye and calling them out for bad-faith behavior and bullshit arguments to their face.
Of course, the journalists were 100% justified and in-line in this case, and Trump is a well-practiced bullshitter who’s flailing.
But wow, wouldn’t it be grand if someone with progressive bona fides acted like that…
See, he isn’t going to be president for those who follow abc, but since he’s elected president of all Americans, people who watch a different television network will simply no longer be considered American.
Fuck drumpf
Now you’re gettin’ it
Hey maybe he was just happy until he heard the first question?
Or until he realized that he was at the NABJ convention rather than NAMBLA.
He saw the BJ part of their associations name and assumed there’d be a12y/o to service him. Him getting upset and hostile is perfectly reasonable, considering how he was misled.
He’s just a confused old man.
You’re thinking about Mr Biden again, sir. Don’t you worry about it. Let’s check your diaper and get you back to the TV Room, OK? Don’t forget your special red hat.
He’s just a confused old man.
He’s a racist old man who only half-remembers the dog whistles that Reagan used to play. The physical embodiment of First as Tragedy, Then as Farce.
Yeeeah. See, corporate news? That’s how one writes a headline.
You could learn something, corporate news. Trump’s idiocy, his racism, his blatant unethical - often illegal - activities can just be spelled out. You don’t need to pretend he’s just another normal guy out here doing normal things. That’s the lie, corporate news. You see that?
They are so feckless. So many titles are basically “Trump Questions Harris’s Race at NABJ Interview” like it’s wasn’t insane.
I’m sorry, I can’t read an article unless the words Slam or Blast are in the headline.
I can make an exception if the headline ends with a question mark.
I’m holding out for “Splutters” myself.
That’s a bad headline, it doesn’t tell you who it’s talking about
It’s a damning headline for just that reason. It could be many weirdos. Somehow, everyone knew exactly who it was.
John Delaney and Hakeem Jeffries?
He’s a weird guy
I just love the pivot America has done with Kamala… she went from the worst VP ever, not even liked by her own party or Liberals… to the most awesomest candidate ever!
So she’s too black to be president and not black enough to be black.
Right… What a racist weirdo.
The joke on The Daily Show the other day was that she’s too young to be president and too old to be a woman…
That joke was a fuckin BANGER xD
Many people are saying he’s the weirdest. Tremendous amounts of people are saying it.
The best people…
Good people on both sides.
The Republicans aren’t sending their best.
Sadly, they might be.
They’re being told this is the best they have and they believe it.
He’s the bigliest weirdo in history. Record-breaking. They’re all saying it.
An adult diaper enbiggens the smallest man.
Also a rapist.
And a fraud. And a felon. Who shits himself a lot.
Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.
Maybe it’s because they’re weird too? Which is also a bit weird. Do we still call them Trumpers or just weirdos?
I’ve been pointing out how fuckin weird it is to care about half the shit they care about for years. I work blue collar so I’ve learned to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself (it’s too much fuckin work otherwise), but every now and then I’d chime in with a “Why should the GOVERNMENT care about what consenting adults do?” or “Why should the GOVERNMENT have the power to dictate women’s health care?” etc
It works quite well if you point out the obvious disconnect between wanting “small government” and feeling like the State should be their personal nanny/drill sergeant. I’ve had quite a few stereotypical conservative guys go “hey yeah that is kinda weird, fuck the gubmint”. They’re also typically fans of my case that I don’t care what color tie a politician wears, a crook is a crook. They nod solemnly, then leave before that reaches its natural conclusion.
My two cents
True, it is bugging them.
I’m still sticking with rapist and fraud since they’ve been proven in a court of law.
If weird were illegal, Trump would have been in jail since calling columnists, pretending to be someone else, to get it out that he was hot property in his dating life. I don’t see anything that has changed.
In Trump’s first election run, Trump continually stole the light by saying the weirdest thing possible. All the attention was on Trump, while the entire field of serious candiDates were out-rizzed, by the weirdest guy in the Republican field.
Now, he is just a creepy, weird old guy that needs diapers.
To be clear, if someone needs diapers - that sucks and that’s nothing to hassle anyone about. Unless they’re (supposedly) a billionaire, unfathomably vain, an enormous sociopath, an asshole, a rapist, and a convicted fraud, who pose a true existential threat to America and the planet as a whole. In the latter case, fuck those people.
She turned black the day Trump found out.
Just like the Dems turned into pedophile, racist, fascist groomers only after Trump left.
And Epstein turned rapist-pedo-trafficker the day Trump left him.
He’s going to start some birther shit at some stage as well. Claim she was born in Jamaica or some shit.
He’ll probably say she was born in both Jamaica and India. She’s Schrodinger’s presidential candidate (and analogy that is even more relevant after Vance’s stupid 'cat lady ’ comment).
He’s already claiming she’s Canadian because she lived there when she was 12 and that’s where her mother worked at that time. So we’re aren’t long now from demanding long form birth certs.
“I paid some detectives to go up to Canada and you wouldn’t believe what they found! Why yes, they’re the exact same guys that have been in Hawaii for a decade looking into Obama, why do you ask?”
Meanwhile, the guys are actually just Giuliani tripping over folding chairs.
Giuliani can’t afford to go to Canada. Sadly, he probably wouldn’t be able to find it even if you flung him over Niagara Falls with a trebuchet.
I heard they can launch a 90 kilogram scumbag who’s as dumb as a rock up to 300 metres away.
You could fling Rudy from just outside the state park and splatter him along Clifton Hill then.
Would Canada let Giuliani in? Canada has standards, and 9 felonies, even when not convicted yet, is a red flag.
You can’t get into Canada if you have a DUI. Trump would need special permission to enter Canada.
Arizona called those guys back after Maricopa county got rid of Arpaio.
According to 2016, she’s Indian-American
Almost like she has one black pare t and one Indian parent or something…
Finally someone who gets it.
you do know what “first” means, right? she wasn’t the first black senator so they didn’t mention that in 2016. and in 2020 first black woman as a VP candidate is more important than first Indian woman just because of demographics, so they highlighted that. but when she was VP both firsts were mentioned in news.
Yeah, just keep questioning people’s racial heritage. That’s a totally normal thing to do that will help the Trump Cult win more supporters. Great job!
Woah, by that logic with those articles, she only became a woman in 2020 as well.
Almost like people contain multitudes.
Last time I checked, Americans can be black. Indian-American doesn’t inherently mean Indian/White.

Relevant joke from The Daily Show:
I was looking for just the clip of this to share, but could only find the full 15+ min vid. It’s been cracking me since Monday, because I’m seeing this actually reaction in real-time.
I got it from The Daily Show’s Instagram account. They put together screenshots for a lot of their jokes. So if you’re ever looking for something specific, it’s worth checking there.
You’re doing the good works!
Why did they all of a sudden drop the indian part? If she were white-Indian, they would NEVER say, a white woman for Prez.
Why does it matter so much that she’s highlighting her black heritage?
Why are they hiding her Indian heritage?
her fucking name is Kamala dude
So, not Black?
She wasn’t the first black senator.
Her Indian heritage wasn’t hidden. Until Republicans, she was just American with a heritage, like the rest of us. It was just that no one cared. Raphael Cruz changed his name to fit in. There is a pattern.
Again, look at this title of this post. And the interviewer kept referring to her as a black woman.
It wasn’t, nor is it now, being hidden. Some reporters are more interested in her black heritage and others in her Indian heritage, and the overall context of the piece also factors into that. But by and large, “left” leaning outlets haven’t paid a whole ton of attention to her race as it doesn’t fucking matter. However, Republicans sure as shit have been very vocal about hee “blackness” and are now all “omg, but she’s Indian heritage, too, and we haven’t even dug into that. HoW COuLD thE LeFT Do ThIS tO Us?!?!”
Honestly, conservatives have become so transparently ratfuck racist with their attacks on Harris, it’s beyond wild. So tired of hearing pudgy white old dudes screech about “DEI” and not realize how INSANELY racist that is.
Look at the title of this post. It’s extremely racist by your own standards
