Yeeeah. See, corporate news? That’s how one writes a headline.
You could learn something, corporate news. Trump’s idiocy, his racism, his blatant unethical - often illegal - activities can just be spelled out. You don’t need to pretend he’s just another normal guy out here doing normal things. That’s the lie, corporate news. You see that?
“Are you with ABC?” Trump continued. “Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network, and I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.”
Uh, it’s “faith”, dipshit. “Came here in good faith” is the expression. Good spirit(s) are when you’re happy.
Are you just, like, stroking out all the time? Or is that just you being a stupid motherfucker. How could we tell?
You're thinking about Mr Biden again, sir. Don't you worry about it. Let's check your diaper and get you back to the TV Room, OK? Don't forget your special red hat.
Why does everyone think Republicans are racist?? Just because they say racist shit, act racist and are racist, doesn't mean that they are racist!! Do better guys!!
If the Republicans were at all competent, they could actually have made this attack work.
Just look at Kedrick Lamar's roasting of Drake in "Not Like Us". Drake is clearly black, but he was mostly raised by a non-black mother in Canada. A lot of the emphasis in Not Like Us is how Drake has to do things like travel to Atlanta or wear clothes from Compton to pretend to fit in with black culture. So Lamar says:
"No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer"
A very clever Republican strategist use that Harris was mostly raised by her Indian mother, how she spent her teens in Montreal, Canada, how she married a white man, how she prosecuted people for marijuana possession, and so-on to try to sow doubts about whether she really fit in.
But, they'd have to have done that using black surrogates who were seemingly not tied to the Trump campaign. Instead, they're so incompetent that they have Trump just blurt out to a Black audience that she's not really black... which instead puts everyone on her side.
“Many fine people have told me that I was the blackest president in American history. It’s true, folks. And that’s why coloreds should vote for me instead of Laffin’ Kamindian. Did you know she’s half-Indian? What’s up with that? She’s also a FEMALE, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s a disgrace.”

I just love the pivot America has done with Kamala.. she went from the worst VP ever, not even liked by her own party or Liberals... to the most awesomest candidate ever!
They can often "toe the line" in a social sense, being able to fit in with a white group, or a black group more easily. Whether or not this is what's happening here is a different story. But socially, i think there's something to be said about it.
Fundamentally, you fit in less with any given group, so you're more likely to be around more broader influence and likewise have less specific influence from any one group. Social cliques are likely to form around you, not with you for a similar reason. In a way, you're sort of alienated from the group, though arguably not in a bad way, since you can sort of fit into any group available. Which makes you more flexible socially, which is obviously advantageous for something like, politics for example.
The tricky part here, is whether or not this is actually happening, and if it is happening, subconscious racism, or just broader social theory (which argues that similar people coalesce into a group, and by virute of being a different ethnicity, you also have a different culture (thats partially how ethnicity works) so it would be expected that some form of social clique would form.
alright, i'm too fucking tired to keep posting this kind of shit on the internet, don't kill me in my sleep, please.
oh and for the people who struggle with reading comprehension sometimes, like myself, this isn't racism, obviously. This is just some sociological pondering.
