Uh, seems like Trump's visit to the NABJ is not going well...

That’s it.

She’s Indian-American isn’t she? She looks more Indian than Black to me, too. Look at her hair.

If her trolls are going to keep screaming anti-White screeds while she makes her entire candidacy about her descriptors, she might want to develop a thicker skin. Unless she’s ashamed of her Indian heritage that is.

Just WOW. Speechless.

She was raised by her Brahmin mother, raised Hindu, speaks Hindi — and her father also has Indian ancestry. She wasn’t even raised in the United States from the time she was 12. She can identify however she wants, but she is not a product of the African-American experience, and certainly not ADOS.

She is not even part of the American immigrant experience, in that neither of her Ph.D. parents became U.S. citizens.

As a Brahmin, the dirty little secret is that she is against anti-caste legislation in the United States. Someone should ask her about that, if she ever does give an unscripted interview.

If you are going to twist facts you should at least get the actual facts right.

Her mother spoke Tamil around the house. That is not Hindu. Like, really not Hindi. And Kamala can't say much more than "I'm hungry" or "Hello" or other childhood basics.

She went to churches WAY more than any Hindu temples.

And Obama wasn't ADOS. Still got elected. Twice.

Yes, let’s get all the facts straight.

Summers in India are way more than “hello.” Churches are simply wrong. Mom is Hindu. Mom raised her since 7…

And, golly, no comment on her pressuring Newsom to veto anti-caste legislation in California? Or the fact that she is Brahmin? Or that her dad is part Indian? Here’s the link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/22/indian-americans-caste-discrimination-newsom-veto/

Imagine if Obama supported discrimination amongst, say, Hutus and Tutsis in the United States. Then we would have a story.

Or if Obama’s dad said he was superior to other African tribes because of a "Gopalan bloodline that goes back more than 1,000 years". That’s what Kamala’s mom said. And that, by the way, is a slave-owning bloodline in India. Here’s the link for that: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55786214

I'm gonna tell you the truth - I don't think a whole lot of people here care more about anti-caste legislation in California then we care about Dobbs.

If Kamala identifies as black and as Indian-American, she needs to address 1) the black experience in America and 2) the Indian experience in America. If she can’t do both, she has no business leading this country. And for the ignorant out there: it is not possible to address the Indian immigrant experience without addressing caste.

Are you really Indian/Blackplaining? Weird.

Never thought I'd see the day when white Republicans' main argument against a candidate is that she isn't black enough.

They did this to Obama, too, though. It’s wedge politics where they try to divide the people they know are never going to vote for them. Every once in a while there are trolls here still saying “how come Obama is the first black president when he’s half white?” or “How come we never hear about Obama’s white heritage?” That’s definitely been out there.

Do you apologists really think it’s OK that Kamala is against anti-caste legislation in the United States?

Well you got me. I was going to vote for Harris, but now I’m going to vote for the racist, mysoginistic, rapist felon for sure!!/s

It's just a way of pot calling the kettle black. Both sides are equally as opportunistic and unethical.

If Ds are going to push for minority opportunities, then shouldn't each person determine where s/he fits in without flip flopping?

Kamala was Indian when it suited her. Lately, however, to get the black vote (b/c if you don't vote Joe, you ain't black), she's the first AA veep. So is she "black enough" to win over the AA community? And if she markets herself as such, doesn't she slap her Indian heritage in the face? You can only have it both ways (so to speak) if you don't pander to an audience.

The lack of observational and critical thinking skills is frightening on this forum.

Says the poster who doesn’t understand the word BOTH, despite its brevity and clarity.

Just keep grasping at straws here. You don't care. You're just trying to find something, anything to justify his behavior.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/republicans-freak-out-over-donald-trumps-new-race-based-attack-on-kamala-harris

Even your own party members have condemned what he said:
Some Republicans publicly slammed Trump’s attacks. Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who is now a Senate candidate, said it’s “unacceptable and abhorrent to attack Vice President Harris or anyone’s racial identity.” “The American people deserve better,” he wrote on X, a sentiment shared by Harris in her own denunciation of the attack.

This is something that Trump doesn't ever really seem to understand. His base is not enough to get him elected. He think because there are millions who love him that is enough. But as we've seen, even 80M is not enough when 88M dislike him and won't vote for him.

He may have pandered to his base, but he lost ground with the people that matter. When Harris took over as presumptive Democratic nominee, there were about 45% support for each of them, but the undecideds grew from 2% to 9%. Those 9% (especially the ones in swing states) are the ones that will crown the victor in the election. And if anything, this interview slid more of that 9% to lean Harris.

This interview is going to go over as well as the debate went over for Biden. The only distinction is that his base doesn't care, so he won't be forced out of the nomination. But whether he's stolen the news cycle or not, he's losing his grip on swing states and this only exacerbated his swing state problems. When Harris announces her VP nomination, she'll grab some swing states. Each member of her short list will bring a different subset of the swing states. Then when the Democratic convention hits, she'll actually get a bump, unlike Trump. Trump's selection of Vance killed any bump that he was supposed to get from the RNC convention. This interview was another drive up the exit ramp on the highway to 270. He's getting on the highway, but going the wrong way.

White men and white women are still the largest voting blocs. Truth is most minorities don't even bother voting. And Trump just made it viral that Harris is a born highly privileged shape-shifting phony.

That's your line of attack now? You've exhausted everything else. It's pretty sad really. You've got an old, weird and confused candidate that doesn't understand that someone can be bi-racial.

So you are against anti-caste legislation? And pro-Brahmin? And anti-Kamala ever giving an unscripted interview?

I don't even know what anti-caste legislation is. Why should I care?

Yeah, it's pretty laughable that this is the bottom line. It's viral because Trump looked incoherent and confused. Moreover, he came across as really racist. As if he's some authority to speak on Vice President Harris's biracial identity. The nerve from a birther.

White men and white women are no more monolithic than black/Hispanic/Asian men/women.

Yes, the white men and women who think like you, that this is salient, were already committed Trump voters. They are not the ones in the 9% or the ones that are in the leaning R/D categories who are the ones that need to be convinced. Those voters are not likely to read what you did out of the Trump debacle at the NABJ. Those voters are going to see what they saw in the Trump-Biden debate--a tired old man who is in accelerating age-related decline who will likely not be fully mentally capable in November, let alone for four years.

That's far more likely to be the take from the NABJ interview and it is only going to highlight that we do NOT need another octogenarian to be elected POTUS. Biden was far more mentally cognizant and capable in 2020 and 3 years as POTUS has accelerated his decline. Trump will only be marginally capable of handling the office in January 2025. He is unlikely be remain that way, even for the first year, let alone four years.

I am dying to hear Trump bring up Indian castes in his discussions. The base will love that. So will his VP.

PLEASE touch the third rail. PLEASE!
