    It is probably a Republican mindset that “race” is still a thing in the US. Who the f cares what race Kamela Harris is - besides “Human”

      As someone who grew up in a (not so surprising) racist family: I promise you, they don’t care. If she had an ® next to her name, they’d be voting for her instead of Trump, as long as the opponent had a (D) next to their name.

      The modern republican party is what’s left of “the south that will rise again”. Doesn’t matter that Donnie dipshit wasn’t born in the south, that’s the demographic he’s been taught, all his life, that matters.

      And in Donnie the dipshit’s case, it’s basically still 1800s America. Guy hasn’t moved a millimeter since 1990. Guy probably doesn’t know what the word ‘no’ even means.

      If you vote for Donnie Dumbass, I hope once the liberals are gone ,he comes for you next.

      You’re only black if one of your parents is black and they can use it to insult you. So Obama is black because he had one white parent. Kamala is not black because she had no white parents.

    The only thing old racists hate more than minorities is multiethnic minorities. It confuses and angers them

    It’s funny (sad funny, not haha funny) we can’t really know if what he said was just an incoherent sentence due to his obvious dementia or a racist comment due to his rampant racism or a misogynist comment due to his unbridled misogyny

    Trump truly is a whole package of shit

    I would have thought it was a low bar to clear of not questioning if she is black, but here we are.

    Remember how people were betting when he’d say something openly racist? Bets were September, turns out it was June!

    It’s racist that we continue to use racial identifiers even though race science was debunked as pseudoscience some time ago.

      This is just a variant of the “I don’t see race” argument. When they say black and we say racist, we’re talking about a social construct, not pure biology. The cop and hiring manager still see people as black. Us refusing to use the word for this construct makes it harder - not easier - to address at a systemic level.
