“How can you not hate white people?”

So are you calling Tiger an Uncle Tom or something equivalent for not embracing his black heritage at the expense of his Asian, American Indian, and white heritage? Have you and your ilk gone so far off the rails that that you not only have revived the “one drop” rule, but give blackness prominence over other races of color? That’s truly astounding … and very sad.

No, stop.

Tiger has a choice. He has the ability to identify with any side of his heritage. He chose them all. Good on him.

However YOU don’t get to decide what he is or isn’t. That is the point. If he chose to identify with black… then so be it. He can because of his mixed race.

We don’t get many perks in the society… don’t try to take away the choice of what race a mixed raced person must identify with.

I agree. With the caveat that to claim it, one must actually have it to at least some degree.

92% of Jamaican are of African heritage.

So what. About 80% of Americans are of European heritage, have you ever heard someone identify themselves as being a European American?

Of course. No argument there. I am not talking about Racheal Donzal or whatever her name is.

Neither am I. Kamala Harris did not grow up in Mississippi.

Shes black, and why does that fact upset so many white people.

No, she chooses to be black. As has been noted, she is more Indian than black. Why doesn’t she identify with her mother’s people (who, by the way, she physically resembles more than her father) rather than her father’s race? Could it be because of political advantage?

Who cares… is the choice hers or yours?

@WuWei

And what was that context, pray tell?

A terrible situation both at home and abroad created during a Republican administration.

@TheDoctorIsIn

The present - where once again, old white men are seeking to define who is or isn’t “black”, for their own political purposes.

Times sure have changed.

It’s not cons who are defining who is black, it is the individuals themselves. Cons are merely pointing out the hypocrisy and pandering from candidates who call themselves black and assume all of the legitimate grievances that blacks experienced in the past, just for political advantage. Harris, specifically, led a privileged childhood and experienced none of the discrimination of the people who she is pretending to identify with. Most certainly, riding a bus to the school in her district … just like the little white kids seated next to her … hardly makes her Rosa Parks or Ruby Bridges.

I agree. And if more people of mixed race followed his example, we would have far less racial division and strife in this country.

Apparently many liberals care. They are lauding her for her racial grandstanding.

I’m not answering this…if you cant figure it out then that’s your problem

[WuWei]

Kamala Harris doesn’t get to claim Jim Crow or segregation and Idiot Matthews doesn’t get to claim it on her behalf.

And that’s what the thread is about.

Just like Warren doesn’t get to claim the trail of tears.

@WuWei

I’ve seen it all now. Kamala Harris was a “victim of segregation and Jim Crow laws”?

Kamala Harris was born in Oakland, California. Not Oakland, Alabama. Her parents were academics, not sharecroppers. She benefitted from busing (and that’s how it’s spelled), she wasn’t punished by it.

She was raised in Berkeley, California. Not Berkley, Mississippi. She moved to Canada, not Virginia, at the age of 12.

She’s not “African-American”, She’s Indian-Jamaican. Yes, she’s black. She didn’t suffer ■■■■■

What a load.

Great post.

We needed a Democratic President who would take us in a new direction.

I realize Obama scares a lot of Republicans. He is an intelligent, well spoken, thoughtful man. Most Republicans prefer their leaders to have ages higher than their IQs.

Cowboy up.
Git er dun.
Grab em by the *****.

But yeah…the majority of the country had enough of that, at least for awhile. It’s ok though. It didn’t take long to get another low IQ liar in the White House thanks to conservative America.

It got us 8 years of conservative America being brainwashed and giving us Donald Trump.

The lost decade…

Another Obama policy that Trump is continuing.
