Kamala Harris was “Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person.”

– Donald Trump

Wow who could have seen this one coming? Trump used this platform they gave him to spread racist evil shit. What a PR disaster for them and a PR Boone for Trump.

some_guy ,

He compared the 2021 insurrection to the protests in Minneapolis and other cities in 2020 following the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and to more recent protests at the Capitol last week by demonstrators opposed to the war in Gaza. Trump falsely claiming that no one was arrested in those other demonstrations and that only his supporters were targeted.

As Trump made the comparison, a man in the back of the room shouted out: “Sir, have you no shame?”

None. Literally none at all.

“Haven’t you been paying attention? No, I have no shame. Nobody has less shame than I do, everyone is saying it.”

That might be one superlative I’d actually believe if he said it.

I guess the good thing this indicates is that black people as a population have significant voting power if the Trump campaign tactic is to alienate Harris from black voters

Now we know why they gerrymander so hard, b/c otherwise their ghouls probably won’t even come close to being elected

Myxomatosis ,

Trump’s campaign is going swimmingly as this will surely win over more black voters.

Donald Trump is really pissing off black people

CodexArcanum ,

Honestly, not even as terrible as I thought he’d be. How he managed to not get hot-miked saying the n-word all day is beyond me. And I’ll definitely take Disaster Don saying Harris isn’t Black over Retirin’ Biden saying voters aren’t Black!

Lemminary ,

Yeah it could be worse, but as all things with him, he’s walking that thin line and he knows it. “It’ll all be fixed!” Mmm-hmm!

The hilarious part of all this would be to see America actually elect this idiot. Say what you want about him but he’s running to lead the most powerful country in the world.

The fact that he is even a contender says more about America than anything.

I stopped laughing at Trump a long time ago … I now point my finger at the American population.

I have hope for the US because of Harris but if Trump wins it, the world will never look at the US with any bit of respect (if there ever was any left) ever again.

I’m often reminded of the saying

Imagine how dumb the average person is and realise that half the population are more stupid than that

Rocketpoweredgorilla ,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

To be fair people like the orange turnip and his followers are heavily tipping the scales in that direction all by themselves.

Xeroxchasechase ,

Average doesn’t have to be in the middle. You’ve probably meant “median”

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Intelligence (and I don’t mean IQ but intelligence as an abstract trait) is probably normally distributed just like the vast majority of other traits like it, so the mean is the median

morphballganon ,

We already saw what that was like in 2016. It wasn’t good.

The Electoral College isn’t technically a gerrymander, but functionally, it’s the same.

Yeah but not for the presidency.

I disagree with your sick sense of humor.

“People will die in a mass genocide if America elects this megalomaniac dictator. But they deserve it for Americans being self-centered idiots.”

There. Fixed the OP for you.

kikutwo ,

What race are orange people?

AbidanYre ,

Oompa Loompa

kikutwo ,

But he only turned orange a few years ago.

I_Miss_Daniel ,

Must be something else surely?Oompa Loompas have a pretty good grasp on ethics.

On the other hand, they may rely on a ruler for the formation of their system of government.

Perhaps Oompa Loompas ruled by Slugworth evolve differently. But then, who is Slugworth?

Sterile_Technique ,
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Is he red or yellow??

He’s too racist for either

Yes. Please keep being weird and racist. This is exactly how you demotivate all the normies from voting for you.

…do normies even vote for Trump?

This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it's Trump and he has zero shame.

“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.

There’s some other good stuff in there but that’s the one that stood out to me as new.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

“Now” she wants to be black. As if her father wasn’t Jamaican.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

I’ve heard people seriously saying that Jamaicans aren’t black. Like what the hell?

TIL. I didn’t even know she went to Howard. Honestly, I should read more about her on a personal level.

“I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country,” Trump said.

He’s a parody of himself. If there wasn’t a real threat behind his existence, I’d happily do nothing but laugh at the ridiculousness of his claims.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I like how he said there were “black jobs.” I guarantee you that before someone asked him what black jobs were, he was thinking of things like doorman, shoe-shine boy, bellhop, maid…

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry. That’s politically incorrect. The appropriate term for the modern age is “convicted prisoner”

otp ,

Does that mean Trump is half Black?

EleventhHour ,
@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

Funny you say that.

I was in a nasty argument with my mom last night about her use of the racist slur “illegals”. I told her that people can’t be illegal. She replied that shes not a racist and that they’re illegal because they broke the law. I shot back, “oh, so, since you got that speeding ticket, that makes you an illegal?” “No! They committed a felony!” So I said, “oh, so Trump is a 34 times illegal then?”

She said, “that’s different!”

“Why? Because he’s white? See, that’s why you’re racist.”

She screamed, “fuck you!” and hung up the phone.

lolrightythen ,

Sorry, yo. Good job on keeping it real

EleventhHour ,
@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

She texted me later, saying I was following a “Marxist script”. I texted back, “oh, yeah? What script did Marx write that said brown people were ‘illegal’, but white people weren’t? Was it in the letter to Lincoln praising him for freeing the slaves, or in Das Kapital? Because I must have missed it. Why don’t you send me a copy of where you read that.”

She blocked me.

maccentric ,

I can’t talk politics reason with my folks either.

nulluser ,

Ooof. I’m so sorry. I’m so sick of what the political discourse in this country has become, and what it’s doing to people.

Being falsely convicted of a crime in central park…

NJSpradlin ,

To acknowledge your comment, to Trump being black in NYC meant that you were guilty.

lolrightythen ,

Are you referring to the good ole days? Back when Bernie was getting the shaft and it was impossible for Trump to win office?

I doubt that I’d have believed the outcome.
