Accusing a black woman of doing blackface is fucking weird.
It really is weird.
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?
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.
Frankly, no, they don’t. That would require self-reflection.
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.
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!”

Nothing says sleeping to the top like prominent posts that I just heard about today such as the California State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission.

Oh, I wasn’t criticizing you, I was criticizing the people that are suggesting she slept her way to the top. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the pay issue, both positions are in the $50k range, so not exactly the stuff of corruption.
“And you know what I’m very upset of?” Pierce added. “Let’s look at the little Black girl who dreams of being president of the United States in a few years.”
“Kamala Harris is taking that title away just so she can sit here and try to win a voting bloc.”
This is a weird fucking argument. Is he under the impression that if we elect a Black Woman that we won’t be allowed to do it again? That once we elect Kamala we’re obligated to return to an endless line of white men presidents?
Or is he misspeaking here and saying that Kamala is stealing the title of “First Black Woman President” from some hypothetical little girl that deserves the “title” of First Black Woman President in like 20-30 years when she’s old enough to run for president (more like 50-60 years given the age of actual elected presidents)? Apparently we should keep voting against Black Women for the next few decades / half a century to save that covered title for some future Black Woman politician…
All because they think that Jamaicans aren’t Black, because Black people can only come directly from Africa?
They managed to cram a “save the children” argument, a dishonest idpol narrative, and overt racism into one argument. I’m as impressed with their efficiency as I am disgusted with their lack of humanity.
Man it’s not just Trump. It seems all these right wing nuts really can’t grasp the concept of biracial identities. It just wooshes right past their head and they keep making this “fake black” argument cause she’s not 100% African blood. Which by the way was the thing they were demonizing Obama for having too much of, and demanded his birth certificate.
They think if you’re born biracial you have to pick one race and stick with it lol
I mean, obsession with racial purity is definitely not something the far-right is new to, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that this is how they think normal people discuss race…
No no, they completely grasp it. They just make the answer whatever they want it to be at the time.
“I’m just trolling bro.” 😎
/s
Is there really a group of white people gatekeeping blackness?
Is there really a group of white racial-purity supremecists stroking out and shitting themselves over black racial-purity and not being black enough?
Who is their baseline for blackness?
What the hell is even going on?
Nope, just the one. Just the token black person so everyone knows we’re inclusive. We’re not allowed any others, ever again.
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.
They cannot find a good angle of attack and I’m loving it.

Rightists are fucked in the head. They’re probably imagining how they would react if they found out one of theirs wasn’t white.
Nikki Haley?
Can the Republicans dig themselves any deeper… There was some clown on Facebook that went over ancestry… Like how long until you hit fascism?
How long? I’m afraid we’re already in negative numbers.

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.

You’re an AfricanNo mind your complexion

You’re an AfricanNo mind denomination
That is only segregation

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.
Kamala Harris’ father is black but her mother isn’t, therefore she isn’t black.
Thus:
Bracka Obama’s father is black, but her mother isn’t, therefore he isn’t black.
And we need to make sure Republicans know that Obama is white for the same reason Harris isn’t black from now on.
I see you places. And it makes me smile every time for the most part. 💜👌
Thank you!
I just facepalm every time someone says, “but her dad is from Jamaica!” Like slavery didn’t exist there.
Always used to wonder where all the clowns went when the circuses disappeared
Republicans try not to talk about Harris’s race challenge (impossible)
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?”
tbf she does have a black face. That’s probably what they were trying to say.
I cannot think of a more desperate attempt at being apart of a fascist crew lmoa fuck this turd
