Trump says he is a white man, but paints himself orange everyday. Trump seems to want to be colored.

I'm a 67 year old white woman and because trump treats people in such 3:33 disgusting ways, that I would never vote for him.

Kamala is not "African American". Her father is Indo-Jamaican and her mother is 100% East Indian. She does not descend from chattel slavery in the USA. Kamala going to an HBCU does not make her "Black". Rachel Dolezal also went to an HBCU.

She's legit indian. She has said it herself. Back in 2020. And she campaigned to be "the first woman indian senator"

Killing babies? Abortion at 9 months? How on earth can a presidential candidate just make up stuff like that about the other party and not face any consequences? 😂

Harris is biracial. You can be Indian and Jamaican, South Asian and Black...and American all at the same time...I don't understand why that's so hard to comprehend. She'd be a better president than Trump.

There is also an article in *Politico that quoted her talking about her black identity* and speaking out against anti-black AndRacism in 1989 as a law student’ ‘

The whole Democratic Party right now is a dumpster fire.

Trump quickly found out he wasn't on Fox News anymore. He got booed, laughed at and Factchecked. Lucky for him his team rescued him.

Remember when the GOP was always totally outraged by identity politics and "playing the race card"? I've never seen people more obsessed with race than MAGA.

Fact check: Kamala Harris' Father is Irish (A Caucasian from Jamaica) & Hindu (East Indian). Her Mother is Caucasian (Hindu from India).

[DearestThree]

I dare every single politician and news "person" to simply say what is TRUE and see where we all get from there.

[IFYOUWANTITGOGETIT]

Comparing Trump to a dumpster fire is an insult to dumpster fires

[forkless]

Awkward fact: The Trump campaign in 2020 argued that Donald Trump was not racist towards black people by stating that he donated to Kamala Harris in the past.

[joeschneider]

Kamala’s own father publicly denounced her using her Jamaican identity for identity politics… saying his deceased parents and ancestors would be turning in their graves at what she’s doing and that, “Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

Copy and paste the quote above into Google and you’ll find the public letter he had published sharing his thoughts about what his own daughter is doing and saying.

[BobbieJeanM]

For not just standing up to the blacks, but for standing up to WOMEN who are BLACK!! You are absolutely right, they were played.

Trump got played himself. ! WE ALL SAW HIS TRUE COLORS SHINNING THROUGH- BRAVO RACHEL. I went to that same movie !!!!

[gwarner]

That's not what judge Joe Brown says.

_interesting_ Yup! 📚 In 1911, Arkansas passedAct 320 (House Bill79), also known as the “one-drop rule.” This law had two goals: it made-interracial “cohabitation” aFelony, and it defined as “theNegro” anyone “who has… anyNegro-blood whatever, ” thus relegating to second-class citizenship anyone accused of having anyAfrican ancestry.
