Newsmax pundit accuses Kamala Harris of 'doing blackface' to win presidency
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.....
Accusing a black woman of doing blackface is fucking weird.
It really is weird.
weird -> racist
Black dude promoting black apartheid is indeed weird.
Wait, so Obama is black because his father is black and now Harris isn't black even though her father is black? Do these idiots even hear themselves?
It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you're a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can't be both Indian and Black.
I think it's more like they can't comprehend being half black if the other half is not white. Which really gives you some insight into what they think about everybody that isn't white. The Republican worldview on race is the same as their worldview on everything else: literally black and white.
That seems to be the general thrust, but I have seen a few not-so-bright sparks suggest that Jamaicans aren't really black.
I even saw one person suggest that the fact that she is descended from an Irish plantation owner means she can't be black. Which, gee, I wonder why a black person would be descended from a plantation owner?
Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I've read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself "plantationed" by Britain.
It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, "being born in a stable does not make one a horse" as the Duke put it when 'accused' of being Irish.
[Whistling sound intensifies.]
Schrodinger's black person. A person is both black and not black at any given time untill a bigot decides what they are.
I think we need to talk about how Obama is white. It both uses their own stupid so-called logic against them and would seriously piss them off.
No you see he wasn't black, he was just born in Kenya, and many people are born in Kenya, you don't have to be black to be born in Kenya, i have many friends born in Kenya, Ok I'm done /s.
Frankly, no, they don't. That would require self-reflection.
The four main MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris:
- She laughs.
- She hugs people.
- She's pretending to be black.
- She's black.
seen lots of comments insinuating that she slept her way to the top, calling her Kamala "on her back/knees" Harris. I just reply with *citation needed and they always either don't respond or say "dO YouR ReSeArCh!"
I think they're referring to when in 1994 she was appointed to the California State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission by her boyfriend the then Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown.
If you aren’t white and angry and paranoid, MAGA has no use for you, so that tracks.
this coming from the haters of "cancel culture" is really funny and weird
Very weird.
Projection. Always projection. Remember that the House Un-American Activities Committee was all about canceling people for alleged Wrong Think.
I know we don't do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.
I don't agree with either of those points, but it's silly to pretend they are the same.
My comment wasn't about how it is ok or not, just at the fact that it's the republicans trying to cancel someone when all they do constantly is talk about cancel culture
wat
These conservative news are really struggling.
Waiting for one to drop the N word.
They have. It's now "DEI hire"
Like someone else had "to hire" her too.
You give them too much credit. I seriously think one of them will use a hard R when referring to Kamala one of these days.
Waiting for one to drop the N word.
Will another correct them that "she's not black?"
Out will it be "I'd call her a N***** but she's not black!"
Yeah we all know being black is the fast track to being elected president.
It worked for Obama. That’s was his only credential. Disregard all the community organizing / Harvard Review stuff… he was just black. And worse yet, he wore TAN suits. Can you believe that shit? Man, being darker sure makes everything easier.
I love me a good black and tan.
just an endless march of black presidents at this point. how many have we had now? one? outrageous
Right wingers: she is strong and has a successful career. She can't be black.
Everybody: that's weird
It's a real lack of understanding if they assume that people are only voting for her because she is black. It's going to be a really really weak strategy
They made the same stupid assumption about Obama. Both times.
I still remember when he won in 2008, feeling happy that he was able to win, not because he was black but despite it. He didn't campaign on it at all. In hindsight, he campaigned on a vague notion of change, which I'm sure many thought it meant more than it really did.
And then Hilary actually did campaign about voting her in because she's a woman and it's her turn. While Trump took on the vague "drain the swamp" message that many likely believed he meant something different by (when in hindsight, it was either an outright lie or he specifically meant the "swamp" of barriers between him and making money from whatever half-baked scam he was currently chasing).
That said, let them think that. They'll just waste their time making themselves look worse for focusing so much attention on something that isn't really relevant to anything. I'm not even sure who the intended target audience of that accusation is. He might just end up making her more palatable for racists who are getting tired of him.
Rightists are fucked in the head. They're probably imagining how they would react if they found out one of theirs wasn't white.
I mean their candidate is orange, and brown is just darker orange.
Nikki Haley?
She went to a historic black college and joined a black sorority.... But sure, question her history on representing her black heritage
Oh my god, she knew she was going to run for president before she went to college! 12D chess!
Who?
Will Pierce. Who is this nobody? I mainly find Fox News and conservative think tanks on a quick search underlining how he's some kind of GOP turncoat, and he doesn't have a Wikipedia page. So some dude doesn't like Harris.
"The only blacks in this photo finish are the two Americans."
-- Will Pierce
If you took that image entirely out of context, as if you don't know that they're running a race, it's pretty amusing.
that Jamaican's silver was brutal ngl got a little bit sad watching his confused reaction.
Can the Republicans dig themselves any deeper.. There was some clown on Facebook that went over ancestry.. Like how long until you hit fascism?
About 8 years ago
How long? I'm afraid we're already in negative numbers.

...TaiwanNewsmax will say anything to stay relevant, and their audience eats it up.
Anything except that Dominion altered the votes. There's one way to make them tell the truth. Well, at least make them stop telling one specific lie.
It's always better than being orange
Black is the new orange
Let's hope so this November.
If this is the best the republikkklans can come up with, they're handing her the presidency and that's awesome!.
VOTE!!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn't vote without them.
So...people are only black if their family came directly to America from Africa? Being enslaved in other countries first means they aren't black?
And if you're mixed-race, and you don't count as being any of those races?
And no mixed race person should become president because you're taking away the chance for a single race person to be the first of that race to be president? And I think they forgot there was already a black president. Or are they saying the first woman president should be white so they don't take away the ability for a white person to be the first woman president since black people already got a first?
Was Obama the first black president? He's half white, I don't remember which race he picked on mixed race choosing day.
The presidential race apparently. Twice.
I just facepalm every time someone says, "but her dad is from Jamaica!" Like slavery didn't exist there.
Republicans try not to talk about Harris's race challenge (impossible)
Always used to wonder where all the clowns went when the circuses disappeared
Aren't they worried that will encourage their viewers to vote for her?
It's a dog whistle to the racists who think the only thing worse than not being white is being mixed race. But they can't just say that out loud, so they play dumb and go "how can she be both?"
they play dumb
We are who we pretend to be
That is a childish accusation.
No, children are smarter than that. They'll look at her and tell this Newsmax idiot that she's black.
Newsmax actively ignores what its like to live in a race coded society as a minority because They're only talking to people who haven't lived as being in an oppressed minority. The ignorance is the point. They'll say whatever shit will play with their white audience that will make them respect a candidate less.
I cannot think of a more desperate attempt at being apart of a fascist crew lmoa fuck this turd
....to people who never cared about blackface.
People who group races into "White" and "Other" are really having a tough time with this one.
Ah yes, Newsmax, the History Channel of "news" programming...
Much trust, such veracity, wow.
tbf she does have a black face. That's probably what they were trying to say.
Do they have brainworms too?
