Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Your account history is exactly what I expected it to be. Nothing but ableist slurs, racism, and weird nonsense. Now run along back to Reddit and r/conservative. Shoo.
Let's see, she went to Howard University, a HBU, and while there was a member of a black sorority, but you know what? Let's let you (presumably white male) decide who is black enough to be black
STFU and GTFO of here
I think they’ve moved onto stormfront already.
Someone with Jamaican ancestry says they're black, they're black.
"Hindu," as you so eloquently put it, is a religion. Not a race, but I'm sure an obvious Rhode scholar such as yourself already knows that.
Hold on folks, I'm getting a message from my editor...
This just in: Jamaicans aren't black! Usain Bolt is white as the driven snow! Thank you, @John_McMurray, for providing such essential services!
Google be like
“Them being black doesn’t make them black”
Care to elaborate on this little nugget of smegma?
You think racists give a fuck how dark someone is, you smegma dispenser?
That wasn't an analogy. You can see skin color, you can't see nationality. An aboriginal person would absolutely be seen as black in America. Do you live in America? We have black, brown, yellow and white and you're gonna get put into one of those categories regardless of nationality.
Wrongo! Being biracial and identifying as one of your races doesn't mean you're a part of that races culture. A lot of different races can be part of black and other cultures or multiple. Eminem is part of black culture.
Yes, I'd say most Americans seeing an aborigine in the US would call them black. I don't think you live in the US.
LOL...ok, how do you see nationality? Go to a busy tourist area and pick 20 white guys and tell me where they're from. God damn dude 🤣
91% of Jamaicans are of black African heritage. Of those 15% are lighter skin black. Harris's grandmother on that side was dark skin black and her grandfather on that side was lighter skinned black. The reason he is lighter skinned is because someone in his lineage in the late 1700's was likely raped by an Irish slave owner, they have genealogical research on her ancestors. Years ago colonial jamaica separated light skin a dark skin black people under slavery and ultimately it resulted in 2 different black racial groups in Jamaica. All this information is readily available with a Google search. Race is just a social construct. But within that construct she is, black, brown, white. Ethnically Jamaican, Indian, Irish. Hope this helps...
