Subject: Donald cannot figure out if Kamala is "Black" or "Indian" - how about choice "C", Donald, both!

Trump’s comments at a gathering of Black journalists in Chicago came when an interviewer asked him whether he agreed with Republicans on Capitol Hill who have characterized Harris as a “DEI hire.” Trump responded by questioning Harris’ heritage.
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” the former president said.
“I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went – she became a Black person,” he said at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. “I think somebody should look into that too.”
Trump’s comments are reminiscent of his similar attacks on Black political rivals in the past, including the years he spent pushing the false, racist “birther” conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
Why does Donald feel so threatened by multicultural Americans?
Didn’t he marry a few? Stop being dumb.

Yet you’re mentioning it here for the convenience of suggesting that your supposed “mixed” background somehow gives weight to your comment.

We all know, love and live with family that may have (and/or)families that are blended, biracial and interfaith.
Wasn’t she raised in Canada?
No.
Yes, she grew up in Montreal. I am a Montrealer.

This is the problem with social media. Everyone thinks their opinions are worthy to be shared with the world.
Tariq is a viral personality who humorously captures the non-PC black barber shop and beauty salon zeitgeist. For YEARS he’s been going after privileged blacks from the Caribbean, Africa and Asia who look down on FBAs. He is very big of Foundational Black Americans (FBA) who have ancestors who were enclaved, victims of Jim Crow, etc.
He should try picking up a history book. The reason Jamaica is 80% black is because they were all brought there as slaves from Africa to work sugar cane plantations for almost 400 years.
Yes, but he doesn’t want anyone from other countries coming here and getting benefits related to Affirmative Action and other race related government programs that he thinks should only be going to FBAs because America owes Black Americans restitution, and no one else.
That’s his stance. It also ties in with reparations and he doesn’t want anyone other than African Americans getting reparations.
+1. I get his point and the FBAs who agree with him. I also agree with him that foreign born Blacks look down on Black Americans. I’ve seen it, I’ve heard it.
Europeans look down on white Americans the same way. I also never understood why black or white immigrants do this when they ran to come here and get US citizenship.
A Haitian colleague of mine always talked down about how lazy and awful AA were and one day I told her about how Haiti isn’t so marvelous itself. At least black Americans fought for civil rights here without one bullet being used and now we have kids shooting up schools because they didn’t integrate well into high school (this was after Sandy Hook). She shut up after that.

Tariq believes blacks from the Caribbean smugly look down on African-Americans, while exploiting set-asides and policies intended for FBAs.
Because they do - I've witnessed it firsthand - but admittedly referring to all blacks as African-Americans is also wrong - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/not-all-black-people-are-african-american-what-is-the-difference/
Meanwhile we have Tariq and others smugly looking down on Caribbean blacks on display, presenting them as elitist phonies just because they came from a different place - it's not as though Caribbean blacks didn't also suffer slavery and racism. And let's be honest here, this is just another example of how blacks pit against other blacks and it's shameful - urban blacks look down on rural southern blacks, the hostility that people try to stir up between darker skinned blacks vs lighter skinned blacks, and it's awful. And here I see Tariq doing exactly that, stirring the pot and driving hostility to drive wedges between blacks. It's awful.

well, yes, that's called connecting with your audience as best you can. It's like when Trump goes to a church and pretends to pray or carry a Bible so he can connect with Christians.
But, you wouldn't get that because you are probably not biracial or know any biracial people.
-mom of biracial children
Mom of biracial children, thank you. People have no idea that code switching is very much a part of the culture. It doesn’t have to be because she’s an opportunist.
DP. I’m white and I code switch! I have an American parent and a European parent and am bilingual and bicultural. I switch my identities and languages depending on the situation. It would be absurd to suggest that I’m faking any of my identities.
I’m white and I consider that I code switch. When I’m at work, I am professional but get me with my siblings and we’re a bunch of So. Cal valley girls.
People are just playing ignorant. Go ahead, vote for Trump. Just don’t storm the capital when he loses
