Because Trump did not deny her Indian heritage at this event. This is not a mystery, you shouldn't need the concept of "context" to be explained to you.
Y'all need to realize conservatives just aren't honest people, and the only way to reason with them is to throw a brick at their head.
This is not what I saw, he was claiming she only identified as Indian and now suddenly is black. He presented it as a 'flip' on race identification. So no 'also' was meant here, you are injecting soft wording to cover up something, what it is I can only guess at. You do seem obsessed by what race Kamala is though. And not out of interest either it seems, you are presenting some weird obsessive line where Kamala is lying about or dismissing some part of her heritage?
What could be your driver to be so obsessed by what was presented to you by a racist guy and feel the need to run with that racist lying twisted line?
Yes you do, you are all over the comments pushing this Indian thing. You are hung-up on this for some odd, might I say weird, reason.
Not what I saw. This was an event organized by black journalists at an NABJ conference. Of course they will hone in on the 'black part' of Kamala as she has always identified as Indian and black. It makes 100% sense in that setting to ask the proven racist to account for himself on past expressions towards black people. Trump tried to muddy the waters by claiming she never ever identified as black, only as Indian. That is wrong and racist. You throw yourself all over the place to try and see if Trump had a point, something deep down you must know to be a false claim.
You are seen as normalizing the reprehensible behavior of Trump with your posts. Do with this information what you will.
I am done trying to argue, reason or spend time with someone who takes the position as you have done. Have a great day!
Weirdos just can't help being weird..! Just like the proverbial scorpion, it's in their nature.
Like I said, you are quite...weird
There is no real left media nor is anyone 'pushing' her race, this is something you do based on your perception of what she should or would do in your mind, i.e. projection. Using the term 'left media' is a cheap cop-out for what actually lives in the realms of your personal and current reality.
Nice of you to ignore the explanation given to you about the forum we talk about was about...black people. Almost like you do not care about reasoning of others but want to sow division by keeping harping on the same material. Starts to smell like you are trying to push a narrative...
He he was throwing a fake amazement moment solely to undermine Kamala and how she identifies.
No idea who this 'all' would be but how very trumpian of you to project your feelings as it is you who keeps playing the race card in order to utilize and sow division.
He most certainly cares as he hopes to be able to use easily fooled people, like yourself, to create a rift amongst Democrats. Something that will not work but hey, the old right wing morons know only the old playbooks so they keep trying the same thing over and over again.
Who is this "the left" and why would or should they mention things in a way so you can agree on the usage and correctness of their messaging? You are not the audience, you are the heckler in the room trying to mess with the messages.
Try and present yourself as reasonable all you want, you are a stooge, or rather a useful idiot, and it will lead to nothing but showcasing yourself as a hand puppet for people who have no interest in you or your family nor your possible plight or concerns. Try and take your blinders of, you are being played by some very bad and nasty people.
Do you not realize how fucking bizarre it is to be so fixated on this? Do you think these are thought patterns of a normal, functioning adult?
Fuck off with the "race card" bullshit. As if every interaction you have with a person of color doesn't begin with you "sizing them up" in a specific way that you'd never do for a white person?
People of color don't "play" a race card, as that implies they have a choice.
Lol... Simply trying to explain the reality of systemic racism isn't at all akin to "playing a card." The implication is insulting and bigoted as fuck.
Why lie when everyone can see your profile moron
Just gonna point out that your obsession with the syntax of headlines is kinda weird.
Because she is black and Indian. Living in America, most people are going to identify her as a black person, so she gets all the great shit that comes along with that. Since when has being a black women been popular? They're one of the most mistreated people and being a black woman is hard as fuck.
The liberal strategy was to oppress black women for 250 years?
... so they could finally consider one for president but only after the corpse of a white dude finally gave in... real devilish plan, that is!
Because black is a buzzword for the oppression Olympics to the left, they blindly praise and cheer that term.
Her being Indian and only talking about her Indian side for most of her life is now irrelevant as it's not as popular.
Being a certain race is a popularity contest now? Which race is judging this contest I wonder?
