Donald Trump is proving heās racist and stupid with his latest post.
In a Truth Social post Thursday morning, Donald Trump appeared to suggest, again, thatĀ presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris isnāt really Black, ramping up his identity-based attacks to the horror of those in his party who consider racism a losing electoral strategy.
Earlier in the week, many GOP strategists, including in the Trump camp,Ā worriedĀ that attacks on Harrisās race and genderāwhich seemed all but inevitable considering Trumpās history of racism and misogynyāwould pose a serious liability for the campaign. āWe hope he doesnāt act like a crazy racist and sexist person, but we canāt control him,ā a source close to the campaignĀ toldĀ The Washington Post.
These hopes were quickly dashed in the course of Trumpās interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday afternoon, in which the candidateĀ claimedĀ that, for years, Vice President Kamala Harris āwas Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became a Black person.ā
It doesnt matter. Every Trumpet in my office is eating this up. I pulled up a picture of her Jamaican dad. Their answer was āJamaicans arenāt black.ā I really dont know how to respond to that.
Some other notable Jamaicans: Bob Marley, Usain Bolt, Grace Jones. I suppose your coworkers would say theyāre not black either?
The sky is yellow if it upsets a lib
And theyād piss straight up just to turn that sky yellow
Doubt they drink enough water, so itās probably orange, appropriately enough.
They wonāt be black until they try to enter the US. At which point theyāll be angry violent blacks coming for American jobs, even if theyāre only on vacation.
Bob Marley is a bad example because his dad was white, so he must white as well /s
Go to google maps, get them to select a random street view in Jamaica. Ask them to describe the people theyāre seeing.
ā¦dafuq??
There are cultural differences between Afro-Caribbean people and āblackā (ADOS) Americans. The trump fans might be trying to use that to drive a wedge in the Democratic Party.
But thatās like the difference between Scottish and Irish people. They are basically the same in English history, lesser people to be conquered. Meaningless when it comes to racism.
I donāt know that many MAGA folks with that nuanced a view of race.
Yeah I was worried Iād sound insensitive by posting that. But honestly, to this specific group, I want to just say O now skin color doesnāt matter.
The die-hard Trumpets are a lost cause. But stuff like this should hopefully start to peel away the other people that he actually needs in order to win.
Yeah, I donāt really see it helping, the people who belive him arenāt less likely to vote for someone that isnāt black. Thereās no trumpers saying āoh I really.wanted a black woman as president, guess Iāll have to vote the racist guy insteadā
Which is a complete waste of time on Trumpās part. Sheās visibly not white AND a woman, so them not voting for her is built-in. It only has the potential to lose him some edge case voters, not gain any.
