      Also, why is the media prodominantly calling her Black, and not acknowledging her Indian heritage?

      Because Trump did not deny her Indian heritage at this event. This is not a mystery, you shouldn’t need the concept of “context” to be explained to you.

            Y’all need to realize conservatives just aren’t honest people, and the only way to reason with them is to throw a brick at their head.

              Trump was pointing out that she is also Indian.

              This is not what I saw, he was claiming she only identified as Indian and now suddenly is black. He presented it as a ‘flip’ on race identification. So no ‘also’ was meant here, you are injecting soft wording to cover up something, what it is I can only guess at. You do seem obsessed by what race Kamala is though. And not out of interest either it seems, you are presenting some weird obsessive line where Kamala is lying about or dismissing some part of her heritage?

              What could be your driver to be so obsessed by what was presented to you by a racist guy and feel the need to run with that racist lying twisted line?

                  I don’t care about her race

                  Yes you do, you are all over the comments pushing this Indian thing. You are hung-up on this for some odd, might I say weird, reason.

                  very much pushing an agenda that she was a Black woman

                  Not what I saw. This was an event organized by black journalists at an NABJ conference. Of course they will hone in on the ‘black part’ of Kamala as she has always identified as Indian and black. It makes 100% sense in that setting to ask the proven racist to account for himself on past expressions towards black people. Trump tried to muddy the waters by claiming she never ever identified as black, only as Indian. That is wrong and racist. You throw yourself all over the place to try and see if Trump had a point, something deep down you must know to be a false claim.

                  You are seen as normalizing the reprehensible behavior of Trump with your posts. Do with this information what you will.

                  I am done trying to argue, reason or spend time with someone who takes the position as you have done. Have a great day!

          Because she is black and Indian. Living in America, most people are going to identify her as a black person, so she gets all the great shit that comes along with that. Since when has being a black women been popular? They’re one of the most mistreated people and being a black woman is hard as fuck.

      Because black is a buzzword for the oppression Olympics to the left, they blindly praise and cheer that term.

      Her being Indian and only talking about her Indian side for most of her life is now irrelevant as it’s not as popular.

          Typically the white liberal, they are obsessed which is why this is a talking point to begin with.

          No, ignore her (lack of) merit, focus on the fact she is (half) black! Applause
