      It’s not even the worst part of that interview.

      At one point he said she would be the play thing of global leaders. “I’m not going to say why but everyone watching knows why”

        I take it you know what he meant? I don’t get this one… Because she’s a woman and therefore obviously everyone will be able to sleep with her to get what they want?

          Trump thinks no one will respect her because she’s a woman. He thinks women are weak willed and easily manipulated. He doesn’t respect women and assumes everyone thinks that way.

          Not surprisingly it’s projection. Trump is a hapless idiot. A lifetime of shady dealings, and his narcissism, make him the most easily manipulated person in history.

            I wonder if this is a triple whammy, he thinks no one will respect here because either she’s a women, black, or Indian or maybe some combo of those three.

        Even funnier, he said that she was always Indian and then “became a buh-lack person”.

        Garbage human being, but he would be a hilarious character in a sketch if he were fully fictional.

            The funniest part is MAGA cultists pointing to her birth certificate, highlighting her father’s name and going “See? SHE’S LYING ABOUT BEING BLACK! No black person could be called Donald!!”

            The birth certificate quite clearly shows her father’s ethnicity as “Jamaican” :))

              TIL that Donald Glover and Donald Faison aren’t black. Somebody should tell them.

              I’m totally not surprised that the party that championed Birtherism is trying the same strategy a second time, given that no amount of evidence is ever enough to convince those people that they were wrong.

      Oh dude you missed some glorious clips of him burying himself in racist comments in front of a room full of black people. And they weren’t being quiet and respectful like he’s used to. They were hollering at him and it made him so mad, and he gets even more racist as a response lol. He’s such a baby when he’s asked a direct question too, always says the people asking him questions are mean and nasty for making him elaborate on his racist comments

    I mean, she’s not Caucasian, but she’s definitely not dark black either. Not that her race matters to anything besides her doctor.

    Edit: not that her race/ethnicity should matter to anyone but her doctor. Obviously, there are racist people and I absolutely condemn them. I also go into more detail on my points in the comment chain below.

      You know, based on the one drop rule, which was made by white supremacists, she is both Black and Indian. I love this situation because this is like a racist dog whistle. If you’re multiracial you can be both of your parents race, usually it’s the one more convenient for the racists to discriminate against you.

        If people are racist to her even though she is light skinned, I would obviously condemn that to the same degree as if they were racist to her and she was dark skinned. Racism is abominable, no matter the skin color of the recipient. Racism doesn’t change the skin color of the recipient, however.

          Racism doesn’t change the skin color of the recipient, however.

          Kamala Harris is factually Black, and she is factually South-East Asian. Your perception of her skin tone means nothing.

          Colorism is a pretty old form of racism - typically perpetrated inter-culturally / within the same ethnicity, or more recently by white supremacists to categorize minorities or other white ethnicities - which tries to define someone as definitively outside of a ethnic group they factually belong to.

      To say that race doesn’t matter is just wrong. You could let it not affect your opinions or policy stances, but it still affects how others perceive you and how you see yourself internally.

        also like. the foods you grew up with. the languages and dialects spoken around you. the authors, stories, and mythologies in your development. the hair products that work for you. (loosely, “culture”)
