OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[JokerEel]

Huh?

You don't like my ass?

 

[Gronk]

Merkin had a bad night. Meets with the black press. Then claims that Kamala isn't or wasn't, some people are saying ...




Unsure why he did this. Would have been better if he spat in it.

 

[Gronk]

The birther thing with Obama (being born on Kenya) must have worked cos they are playing the same games.

 

[Gronk]

 

[JokerEel]

That would be terrible

 

[Suitman]

Curious to know why he would do that?

 

[King-Gutho94]

Curious to know why he would do that?

Sounds like fake news to me.

Trump has FOMO and remaining revelent syndrome.

 

[Gronk]

Curious to know why he would do that?

I don't know. Scaramucci was Trump's Press Secretary. I can only assume that he thinks he will run and hide if the polling trends continue. She might be just enjoying a honeymoon period however.

 

[Twizzle]

That would be terrible

at least the crap in my social media feeds will be reduced

I don't follow any of the people on Twitter whose American political posts appear in my feeds, so I assume they are paid for

I read this morning, and saw it from his own mouth, that Kamala only "turned black" 3 years ago as she used to be native American

he's good comedy value

Are you suggesting Donny boy is telling fibs ?

Hard to believe based on his track record.

 

[strider]

Lol .... she is indian ... ie asian indian

If you had to put a name on it, she is Asian-Carribean

And her Jamacian descendants were apparently involved in slave trading ...

Kamala Harris is a descendant of an Irish slave owner in Jamaica

Hamilton Brown, from Co Antrim, was paid equivalent of €11m in compensation by British government to free slaves after ban

www.irishtimes.com

He is arrogant, rude, unsensored and a bit stupid to not read the room .... but he is right ...... she is not "black" in the US sense of african-american. .... but they do act like she is to try and score votes.

Settle petal.

Just pointing out her ancestry is not what americans call "black", ie african-american.

Im sure she doesnt support what her ancestors did.

That said, she DID keep people in jail longer than they should have been while DA, for the purpose of cheap labour (see links on previous pages) .... so maybe one could draw a long bow and liken that to slavery. In a way, she might actually have form?

 

[hindy111]

Curious to know why he would do that?

No matter what Gronk will just bag Trump. Phantom will do the same. Whenever they can find something negative they'll post it.
Hard to take either of them seriously

Where do you think that the blacks from Jamaica came from ?

They are all from African slave trade that started in the 1600s.

Afro-Jamaicans - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It is quite likely that many African Americans have mixed ancestry. This is due to a variety of historical factors, including:

1. The Transatlantic Slave Trade: During the period of slavery in the United States, there was significant mixing between African slaves, European colonists, and Native Americans. This often occurred through forced relationships, but also through consensual relationships over time.
2. Legal and Social Changes: After the abolition of slavery, there continued to be intermarriage and relationships between people of different racial backgrounds. The Civil Rights Movement and subsequent changes in laws and social attitudes further facilitated this mixing.
3. Genetic Studies: Genetic research has shown that a significant percentage of African Americans have some European ancestry. Studies have found that the average African American genome is approximately 73-80% African, 20-24% European, and 0.8% Native American.

The concept of race is socially constructed and not strictly biological, so the categorization can vary depending on historical, cultural, and individual factors.

This is just silly. As silly as everyone starting shit about Trump's dad being arrested at a KKK meet. It doesn't define a person.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334315007_Fred_Trump_the_Ku_Klux_Klan_and_Grassroots_Redlining_in_Interwar_America

Donald Trump isn't the first Trump to get arrested. His father, Fred, was arrested twice, reports say — once at a Ku Klux Klan riot, and another time over building code violations.

Fred Trump was arrested after a 1,100-man brawl involving Ku Klux Klan members, The New York Times reported in 1927.

Saying that Harris is not black is as equally as merkinish as here during the Voice referendum, with f**kers claiming that many indigenous people are not black enough, even though some were victims of the stolen generation.

 

[strider]

Yeah, fair call ... she is mixed heritage. May have some african heritage in there too.
