Republican pundit Will Pierce insisted that Vice President Kamala Harris was "not Black" and, instead, accused her of "doing blackface."
During a Sunday panel discussion, Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj falsely claimed that Harris "changes her race depending" on her campaign strategy.
Pierce, a for...
This is a weird fucking argument. Is he under the impression that if we elect a Black Woman that we won’t be allowed to do it again? That once we elect Kamala we’re obligated to return to an endless line of white men presidents?
Or is he misspeaking here and saying that Kamala is stealing the title of “First Black Woman President” from some hypothetical little girl that deserves the “title” of First Black Woman President in like 20-30 years when she’s old enough to run for president (more like 50-60 years given the age of actual elected presidents)? Apparently we should keep voting against Black Women for the next few decades / half a century to save that covered title for some future Black Woman politician…
All because they think that Jamaicans aren’t Black, because Black people can only come directly from Africa?
They managed to cram a “save the children” argument, a dishonest idpol narrative, and overt racism into one argument. I’m as impressed with their efficiency as I am disgusted with their lack of humanity.
Man it’s not just Trump. It seems all these right wing nuts really can’t grasp the concept of biracial identities. It just wooshes right past their head and they keep making this “fake black” argument cause she’s not 100% African blood. Which by the way was the thing they were demonizing Obama for having too much of, and demanded his birth certificate.
They think if you’re born biracial you have to pick one race and stick with it lol
I mean, obsession with racial purity is definitely not something the far-right is new to, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that this is how they think normal people discuss race…
They understand, they just think this is a “dog whistle” instead of overt racism.
No no, they completely grasp it. They just make the answer whatever they want it to be at the time.
“I’m just trolling bro.” 😎
/s
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?
