“Are you with ABC?” Trump continued. “Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network, and I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.”
Uh, it’s “faith”, dipshit. “Came here in good faith” is the expression. Good spirit(s) are when you’re happy.
Are you just, like, stroking out all the time? Or is that just you being a stupid motherfucker. How could we tell?
Hey maybe he was just happy until he heard the first question?
Or until he realized that he was at the NABJ convention rather than NAMBLA.
He saw the BJ part of their associations name and assumed there’d be a12y/o to service him. Him getting upset and hostile is perfectly reasonable, considering how he was misled.
See, he isn’t going to be president for those who follow abc, but since he’s elected president of all Americans, people who watch a different television network will simply no longer be considered American.
Fuck drumpf
Now you’re gettin’ it
I’m no Trump apologist, but I have to admit that I do very much like the act of looking a journalist in the eye and calling them out for bad-faith behavior and bullshit arguments to their face.
Of course, the journalists were 100% justified and in-line in this case, and Trump is a well-practiced bullshitter who’s flailing.
But wow, wouldn’t it be grand if someone with progressive bona fides acted like that…

So Jamaicans aren’t black? Isn’t Jamaica one of the first “african-american” colonies?
She’s not black because she’s checks notes Jamaican?
bro you’re straight up a moron
TIL no black people live anywhere outside of America and Africa.

Literally everyone is originally of African descent, or did you seriously not know or understand this? Even white dude me.

Iraq is known as the cradle of civilization. Homo Sapiens came from Africa.

This guy isn’t black…mkay
Oh honey… She’s biracial. Her father is Jamacian.

Shut up.
you mean it’s on the north American continent right? right?
LMAO
Everyone descends from Africans. That’s where the human species originated.
deleted by creator
That’s not true.
- Her father is Jamaican.
- Ultimately we all descend from African-born people. That doesn’t mean all humans are Black.
- Charlize Theron is African. She’s not Black.
- Black, as a label, is as much a shared cultural and countercultural identity as it is a familial heritage and racial identity.
- Your position is misinformed at best, reads worse, and is a weird hill to die on either way.
This headline: chef’s kiss
This entire interview was a headline gold mine. Even Fox News was having trouble spinning this as anything other than a disaster.
Yeah, I had the mental image of some idiot mayor in the South claiming it, and it did sort of short circuit the whole ‘Trump did a Trump thing’ we’ve all become numb to.
“Many fine people have told me that I was the blackest president in American history. It’s true, folks. And that’s why coloreds should vote for me instead of Laffin’ Kamindian. Did you know she’s half-Indian? What’s up with that? She’s also a FEMALE, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s a disgrace.”
Yeeeah. See, corporate news? That’s how one writes a headline.
You could learn something, corporate news. Trump’s idiocy, his racism, his blatant unethical - often illegal - activities can just be spelled out. You don’t need to pretend he’s just another normal guy out here doing normal things. That’s the lie, corporate news. You see that?
I’m sorry, I can’t read an article unless the words Slam or Blast are in the headline.
I’m holding out for “Splutters” myself.
I can make an exception if the headline ends with a question mark.
They are so feckless. So many titles are basically “Trump Questions Harris’s Race at NABJ Interview” like it’s wasn’t insane.
He’s a weird guy
That’s a bad headline, it doesn’t tell you who it’s talking about
It’s a damning headline for just that reason. It could be many weirdos. Somehow, everyone knew exactly who it was.
John Delaney and Hakeem Jeffries?

Why does everyone think Republicans are racist?? Just because they say racist shit, act racist and are racist, doesn’t mean that they are racist!! Do better guys!!

Jamaicans are mostly descendants of West African slaves. I guess they were not black either?
Your account history is exactly what I expected it to be. Nothing but ableist slurs, racism, and weird nonsense. Now run along back to Reddit and r/conservative. Shoo.
Google it. Hindu/Jamaican of Irish background. Formerly first Indian this, that and the other thing. Definitely not black or of that community.
Hold on folks, I’m getting a message from my editor…
This just in: Jamaicans aren’t black! Usain Bolt is white as the driven snow! Thank you, @John_McMurray, for providing such essential services!
I think they’ve moved onto stormfront already.
Google be like
Dark skin does not equal black, ffs.
“Them being black doesn’t make them black”
Care to elaborate on this little nugget of smegma?
Bet you think Mexicans only come in dark too.
You think racists give a fuck how dark someone is, you smegma dispenser?
91% of Jamaicans are of black African heritage. Of those 15% are lighter skin black. Harris’s grandmother on that side was dark skin black and her grandfather on that side was lighter skinned black. The reason he is lighter skinned is because someone in his lineage in the late 1700’s was likely raped by an Irish slave owner, they have genealogical research on her ancestors. Years ago colonial jamaica separated light skin a dark skin black people under slavery and ultimately it resulted in 2 different black racial groups in Jamaica. All this information is readily available with a Google search. Race is just a social construct. But within that construct she is, black, brown, white. Ethnically Jamaican, Indian, Irish. Hope this helps…
Someone with Jamaican ancestry says they’re black, they’re black.
Hindu says she’s a black she’s lying.
“Hindu,” as you so eloquently put it, is a religion. Not a race, but I’m sure an obvious Rhode scholar such as yourself already knows that.
It’s a religion and a people of the indus River valley. Country us called Industan.or Hindustan in many languages. Even Sikhs are Hindus, bud.
Let’s see, she went to Howard University, a HBU, and while there was a member of a black sorority, but you know what? Let’s let you (presumably white male) decide who is black enough to be black
STFU and GTFO of here
She was a proud Indian until it became popular to be black.
As usual the party of dishonesty is gaslighting the world and the drones lap it up.
Because she’s both. Her mom is Indian, and her dad is Afro-Jamaican. That makes her ethnicity both Indian and Afro-Jamacian. There are people out there with mixed ethnicities.
Then why does your media only ever promote the black side?
deleted by creator
Depends which news outlets you look at.
deleted by creator
Was she a proud Indian when she chose to go to Howard University, a historically black college? When she joined Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically black sorority, that must have been odd if she considered herself Indian instead of black.
She has considered herself both black and Indian for a very long time.
No she hasn’t, it was one or the other which was most convenient.
I have a truck that can drive on roads and rail tracks. I use the method most convenient at the time.
So you’re saying you can pick your race?
Joines 3 hours ago to start spewing nonsense about not understanding basic lineage. Are you a nut job or just someone who needs to find a life?
Like Key and Peele?
I’m guessing you don’t know any mixed race people.
“What are you, a father or a son?! You act like whichever is convenient for you at the time, you big phony!!”
That’s what you sound like right now. It’s pretty weird that you can’t understand mixed-race people; it’s quite simple.
So she’s too black to be president and not black enough to be black.
Right… What a racist weirdo.
She turned black the day Trump found out.
Just like the Dems turned into pedophile, racist, fascist groomers only after Trump left.
And Epstein turned rapist-pedo-trafficker the day Trump left him.
Many people are saying he’s the weirdest. Tremendous amounts of people are saying it.
The best people…
The Republicans aren’t sending their best.
Sadly, they might be.
They’re being told this is the best they have and they believe it.
Good people on both sides.
Also a rapist.
And a fraud. And a felon. Who shits himself a lot.
Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.
True, it is bugging them.
I’m still sticking with rapist and fraud since they’ve been proven in a court of law.
If weird were illegal, Trump would have been in jail since calling columnists, pretending to be someone else, to get it out that he was hot property in his dating life. I don’t see anything that has changed.
In Trump’s first election run, Trump continually stole the light by saying the weirdest thing possible. All the attention was on Trump, while the entire field of serious candiDates were out-rizzed, by the weirdest guy in the Republican field.
Now, he is just a creepy, weird old guy that needs diapers.
To be clear, if someone needs diapers - that sucks and that’s nothing to hassle anyone about. Unless they’re (supposedly) a billionaire, unfathomably vain, an enormous sociopath, an asshole, a rapist, and a convicted fraud, who pose a true existential threat to America and the planet as a whole. In the latter case, fuck those people.
Maybe it’s because they’re weird too? Which is also a bit weird. Do we still call them Trumpers or just weirdos?
I’ve been pointing out how fuckin weird it is to care about half the shit they care about for years. I work blue collar so I’ve learned to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself (it’s too much fuckin work otherwise), but every now and then I’d chime in with a “Why should the GOVERNMENT care about what consenting adults do?” or “Why should the GOVERNMENT have the power to dictate women’s health care?” etc
It works quite well if you point out the obvious disconnect between wanting “small government” and feeling like the State should be their personal nanny/drill sergeant. I’ve had quite a few stereotypical conservative guys go “hey yeah that is kinda weird, fuck the gubmint”. They’re also typically fans of my case that I don’t care what color tie a politician wears, a crook is a crook. They nod solemnly, then leave before that reaches its natural conclusion.
My two cents
He’s the bigliest weirdo in history. Record-breaking. They’re all saying it.
An adult diaper enbiggens the smallest man.
The joke on The Daily Show the other day was that she’s too young to be president and too old to be a woman…
That joke was a fuckin BANGER xD
deleted by creator
Yeah, just keep questioning people’s racial heritage. That’s a totally normal thing to do that will help the Trump Cult win more supporters. Great job!
Woah, by that logic with those articles, she only became a woman in 2020 as well.
Almost like people contain multitudes.
deleted by creator
you do know what “first” means, right? she wasn’t the first black senator so they didn’t mention that in 2016. and in 2020 first black woman as a VP candidate is more important than first Indian woman just because of demographics, so they highlighted that. but when she was VP both firsts were mentioned in news.
Last time I checked, Americans can be black. Indian-American doesn’t inherently mean Indian/White.

Relevant joke from The Daily Show:
I was looking for just the clip of this to share, but could only find the full 15+ min vid. It’s been cracking me since Monday, because I’m seeing this actual reaction in real-time.
I got it from The Daily Show’s Instagram account. They put together screenshots and clips for a lot of their jokes. So if you’re ever looking for something specific, it’s worth checking there.
You’re doing the good works!

Why does it matter so much that she’s highlighting her black heritage?
deleted by creator
It wasn’t, nor is it now, being hidden. Some reporters are more interested in her black heritage and others in her Indian heritage, and the overall context of the piece also factors into that. But by and large, “left” leaning outlets haven’t paid a whole ton of attention to her race as it doesn’t fucking matter. However, Republicans sure as shit have been very vocal about hee “blackness” and are now all “omg, but she’s Indian heritage, too, and we haven’t even dug into that. HoW COuLD thE LeFT Do ThIS tO Us?!?!”
Honestly, conservatives have become so transparently ratfuck racist with their attacks on Harris, it’s beyond wild. So tired of hearing pudgy white old dudes screech about “DEI” and not realize how INSANELY racist that is.
deleted by creator
Her Indian heritage wasn’t hidden. Until Republicans, she was just American with a heritage, like the rest of us. It was just that no one cared. Raphael Cruz changed his name to fit in. There is a pattern.

He’s going to start some birther shit at some stage as well. Claim she was born in Jamaica or some shit.
He’ll probably say she was born in both Jamaica and India. She’s Schrodinger’s presidential candidate (and analogy that is even more relevant after Vance’s stupid 'cat lady ’ comment).
He’s already claiming she’s Canadian because she lived there when she was 12 and that’s where her mother worked at that time. So we’re aren’t long now from demanding long form birth certs.
“I paid some detectives to go up to Canada and you wouldn’t believe what they found! Why yes, they’re the exact same guys that have been in Hawaii for a decade looking into Obama, why do you ask?”
Arizona called those guys back after Maricopa county got rid of Arpaio.
Meanwhile, the guys are actually just Giuliani tripping over folding chairs.
Giuliani can’t afford to go to Canada. Sadly, he probably wouldn’t be able to find it even if you flung him over Niagara Falls with a trebuchet.
Would Canada let Giuliani in? Canada has standards, and 9 felonies, even when not convicted yet, is a red flag.
You can’t get into Canada if you have a DUI. Trump would need special permission to enter Canada.
I heard they can launch a 90 kilogram scumbag who’s as dumb as a rock up to 300 metres away.
You could fling Rudy from just outside the state park and splatter him along Clifton Hill then.
He just can’t wrap his head around the idea of someone being biracial, or chooses not to, whatever.
His entire brain is “reality can be whatever I want”
Nah, he’s a fucking moron, but I don’t think that’s it. He’s trying to use a standard pratice of his of identifying something that others may like about an opponent and attack it as not being true. When that thing is race, it becomes extra fucking ridiculous.
I think theyre angry because many of the Weird Cheeto’s bigoted voters will want clarity on what kind of racial slur they’ll use as they are a discriminating bunch.
No, they really aren’t as far as slurs go. If a person of mixed ethnicity kinda looks black, they get the same ones as people whose parents are both black.
I was trying to make a joke but didn’t succeed.😞
I’ve heard them call people of Indian descent the same slurs that they use for Blacks and Arabs. These are not people who get ambiguity or experience empathy.
Oops, sarcasm missed.
I think he would be confused regardless. The fact that she’s biracial compounds it. People love to categorize others into boxes they understand. It often results in racism, but it usually results in a kind of obstinate ignorance. There are many people who fundamentally cannot seem to understand that Indians are Asian, even if they’re pretty brown. They also don’t understand that a Jamaican who’s a descendant of slaves is African-American. That someone can be both of these impossible (in their mind) things is just outlandish.
I know a guy who’s black and British, and I have heard him explain how he isn’t African-American so many times. Whatever white person receives the explanation never really believes it and always treats it like it’s a trick. I know someone else who has a seeing eye dog that’s a mutt, and not some movie-groomed golden retriever. Confusion abounds.
African-American? You mean, like Elon Musk?
I don’t think that he can’t wrap his head around being biracial, I think he’s trying to play on the community’s own racism.
Let’s not kid ourselves here, all racial community’s have their members who shun and reject biracial kids as being part of their community with some cultures having a larger segment of that type of thinking than others.
Its the exact same shit they did to Obama. The trick is that McCain and Romney never went on record saying this bullshit. They had a gaggle of C-List news celebrities say it over and over again, while they would play the “I can’t believe someone would say OBAMA ISN’T BLACK that’s crazy who would think that?” game.
But Trump isn’t a politician in the traditional sense. He is the C-List news celebrity who talks shit all day. The GOP doesn’t want the one-eyed Navy Seal who makes serious sounding noises all day running for President. Or the elite business genius who doesn’t care about all our beautiful aborted white babies because he’s too busy counting his (((money))). They literally want to put William F. Buckley in office. But he’s dead, so they’ll settle for the Cheeto Mussolini.
I’m glad someone else remembers this bs. The right wingers attacked Obama in the same way because he was raised by a white single mother in Hawaii and later by an Indonesian step father overseas. Because these idiots don’t have a word for that, they attacked him as a pretender. But let’s be clear, they don’t do ambiguity because complexity loses them voters.
Strangely the right wingers got something almost correct for a change. It’s true that the concept of “race” is both racist and artificial. It’s how you were raised that largely determines your culture. Obama wouldn’t fit in in Africa. True. But he was raised as an American. THAT MEANS HE’S AMERICAN.
The same is true for Harris. Its sad that she’s going to get attacked for being raised by an Indian-American-Jamacian mother in oaktown (which was predominantly black back then) because of stupidity and the great orange puff’s lack of self control

This is my handy guide to determine if someone is American (can be applied to any country):
- Born in America = American
- Born in a different country and moved to America at young age and spent a considerable amount of time growing up in America = American
- Immigrated at an older age to America and have their citizenship = American
- Immigrated at an older age to America and do not have their citizenship = Trying to become American
4a. Immigrated at an older age and don’t want to get their citizenship, and are planning to eventually move home = Not American

Man it’s been a long time since I saw this in the wild. Isn’t the “(((___)))” supposed to signify “Jew” in a bad way?
I looked at the echo symbol “(((___)))” in the Anti Defamation League hate symbol website. Whatever is inside the triple parenthesis has Jewish added. In this case, the echo means Jewish money.
Conservative bloggers thought they’d come up with a super clever code to do antisemitism without getting flagged for it, but it just turned into a big joke.
