Accusing a black woman of doing blackface is fucking weird.

It’s practically a mental health bingo board at this point…
Definitely off topic but something worth considering. Good luck, my friend!
weird -> racist
Black dude promoting black apartheid is indeed weird.
Wait, so Obama is black because his father is black and now Harris isn’t black even though her father is black? Do these idiots even hear themselves?
It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you’re a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can’t be both Indian and Black.
Their rules are you are whatever is beneficial to the propaganda web we’re currently spinning. Next week she’ll be black again.
Yup. It’s not worth any time trying to figure out their “rules”, because there are none, and they don’t need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It’s just business.
That seems to be the general thrust, but I have seen a few not-so-bright sparks suggest that Jamaicans aren’t really black.
I even saw one person suggest that the fact that she is descended from an Irish plantation owner means she can’t be black. Which, gee, I wonder why a black person would be descended from a plantation owner?
Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I’ve read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself “plantationed” by Britain.
It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, “being born in a stable does not make one a horse” as the Duke put it when ‘accused’ of being Irish.
Honestly, I’m just repeating what the moron said there. I have no idea if she is actually is descended from an Irish plantation owner. But even if she was, that still doesn’t make her not black. There’s a lot of black people descended from white plantation owners, and it’s not for good reasons that are beneficial to them.
Michelle Obama had white ancestors.

So we can say she’s white now, yes?
I doubt whoever is claiming that you’re not black if you’re descended from a white plantation owner and black people really cares whether or not it’s genealogically accurate.

Schrodinger’s black person. A person is both black and not black at any given time untill a bigot decides what they are.
I think we need to talk about how Obama is white. It both uses their own stupid so-called logic against them and would seriously piss them off.
No you see he wasn’t black, he was just born in Kenya, and many people are born in Kenya, you don’t have to be black to be born in Kenya, i have many friends born in Kenya, Ok I’m done /s.
Frankly, no, they don’t. That would require self-reflection.
The four main MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris:
- She laughs.
- She hugs people.
- She’s pretending to be black.
- She’s black.
You forgot that she’s a woman
The next one is that she is not a real woman if they are sticking to the GOP playbook.
Yup, just wait for one single unflattering image of herself that shows something mildly androgynous about her and we won’t hear the end of it.
The next one is that she is not a real woman if they are sticking to the GOP playbook.
Well she is black after all… so that totally follows in MAGAtstan.
But does she have muscular arms? I hear that’s proof that Michelle Obama is a man.
They’re already there because she doesn’t have children of her own
You’re right, make that five.
6- Show us the testosterone test will be the new “show us the birth certificate”
seen lots of comments insinuating that she slept her way to the top, calling her Kamala “on her back/knees” Harris. I just reply with *citation needed and they always either don’t respond or say “dO YouR ReSeArCh!”
I think they’re referring to when in 1994 she was appointed to the California State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission by her boyfriend the then Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown.
Nothing says sleeping to the top like prominent posts that I just heard about today such as the California State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission.
Oh I didn’t make a judgement on it, just elaborating on where the belief stems from.
Although I believe the issue(?) is that those are paid positions. Of course, she might’ve genuinely been the best person for those roles.
Oh, I wasn’t criticizing you, I was criticizing the people that are suggesting she slept her way to the top. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the pay issue, both positions are in the $50k range, so not exactly the stuff of corruption.
If you aren’t white and angry and paranoid, MAGA has no use for you, so that tracks.

the words of someone DESPERATE to find a way to call libs racist
Nope, just the one. Just the token black person so everyone knows we’re inclusive. We’re not allowed any others, ever again.
Is there really a group of white people gatekeeping blackness?
Is there really a group of white racial-purity supremecists stroking out and shitting themselves over black racial-purity and not being black enough?
Who is their baseline for blackness?
What the hell is even going on?
same thing as always: they believe in nothing but power and say whatever appears most beneficial to them in the moment.
this coming from the haters of “cancel culture” is really funny and weird
Projection. Always projection. Remember that the House Un-American Activities Committee was all about canceling people for alleged Wrong Think.
I know we don’t do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.
I don’t agree with either of those points, but it’s silly to pretend they are the same.
My comment wasn’t about how it is ok or not, just at the fact that it’s the republicans trying to cancel someone when all they do constantly is talk about cancel culture
wat
These conservative news are really struggling.
Waiting for one to drop the N word.
They have. It’s now “DEI hire”
Like someone else had “to hire” her too.
You give them too much credit. I seriously think one of them will use a hard R when referring to Kamala one of these days.
Waiting for one to drop the N word.
Will another correct them that “she’s not black?”
Out will it be “I’d call her a N***** but she’s not black!”
Yeah we all know being black is the fast track to being elected president.
just an endless march of black presidents at this point. how many have we had now? one? outrageous
Right wingers: she is strong and has a successful career. She can’t be black.
Everybody: that’s weird
It’s a real lack of understanding if they assume that people are only voting for her because she is black. It’s going to be a really really weak strategy
They made the same stupid assumption about Obama. Both times.
I still remember when he won in 2008, feeling happy that he was able to win, not because he was black but despite it. He didn’t campaign on it at all. In hindsight, he campaigned on a vague notion of change, which I’m sure many thought it meant more than it really did.
And then Hilary actually did campaign about voting her in because she’s a woman and it’s her turn. While Trump took on the vague “drain the swamp” message that many likely believed he meant something different by (when in hindsight, it was either an outright lie or he specifically meant the “swamp” of barriers between him and making money from whatever half-baked scam he was currently chasing).
That said, let them think that. They’ll just waste their time making themselves look worse for focusing so much attention on something that isn’t really relevant to anything. I’m not even sure who the intended target audience of that accusation is. He might just end up making her more palatable for racists who are getting tired of him.
They cannot find a good angle of attack and I’m loving it.
This is their best shot. Trump ran as a reform candidate, but he never delivered. At best (?) he built a fence that didn’t do anything. So he’s desperate to avoid policy discussions.
Rightists are fucked in the head. They’re probably imagining how they would react if they found out one of theirs wasn’t white.
I mean their candidate is orange, and brown is just darker orange.
Nikki Haley?
That’s… just her face
You’re saying she had facial reconstruction surgery so she could affirm her new race?!?!
Faceoff. Presidential candidate edition.
Ew. No one wants to trade with Cheto Donnheto 🤮
That was Bush vs Gore
She went to a historic black college and joined a black sorority… But sure, question her history on representing her black heritage
Oh my god, she knew she was going to run for president before she went to college! 12D chess!

If you took that image entirely out of context, as if you don’t know that they’re running a race, it’s pretty amusing.
that Jamaican’s silver was brutal ngl got a little bit sad watching his confused reaction.
Can the Republicans dig themselves any deeper… There was some clown on Facebook that went over ancestry… Like how long until you hit fascism?
About 8 years ago
How long? I’m afraid we’re already in negative numbers.

Anything except that Dominion altered the votes. There’s one way to make them tell the truth. Well, at least make them stop telling one specific lie.
