Donald Trump has questioned Kamala Harris’ race during an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago that quickly turned hostile.
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…
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 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 was upset that you wouldn’t agree to a sane interpretation of her feelings - she’s resolving all cognitive dissonance in her favor, and feels persecuted when others don’t do the same. When instead she just needed to recognize that if verbalized logic made her feelings sound insane, that’s because maybe her feelings are the problem, and those feelings need more, not less, scrutiny.

…slave
Sorry. That’s politically incorrect. The appropriate term for the modern age is “convicted prisoner”
Does that mean Trump is half Black?
Funny you say that.

She screamed, “fuck you!” and hung up the phone.
Sorry, yo. Good job on keeping it real

She blocked me.
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.
I can’t talk
politicsreason with my folks either.That’s such a shame.

Pretty sad that people are so far gone…
That means you won. Congrats!
Imagine the delicious irony if one of his ancestors was black.
Being falsely convicted of a crime in central park…
