Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

"She just isn't black enough to be president" Trump hurt itself in its confusion.

Cherry on top would be recommending tanning lol.

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 79 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just finished watching that train wreck and it went exactly like I (we!?) thought it would!

It’s weird that Donald Trump can’t speak without being nasty. Donald Trump is weird in that mannerism.

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (3 children)

So weird. Just a weird weird dude. And old.

The only thing old racists hate more than minorities is multiethnic minorities. It confuses and angers them

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They like think to fit into very simple basic boxes; Black/White, Male/Female, Christian/Pagan, Americans/Subhumans, Straight/—

[–] Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Had to explain to someone yesterday that being gay isn't the same as being trans. He's one of them (I'll submit to the irony).

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Multiracial people make ethnostates more complicated

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago (4 children)

She just turned black? Has he not been paying attention for the past 4 years? (Rhetorical question. We all know the answer to that is "no, of course he hasn't, because he's so fixated with himself!")

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sure her Jamaican dad would be amazed to hear that his daughter hasn't been black for almost all of her 59 years on this planet.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well apparently she just turned black.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My wife and I were thinking about turning black. It's just so much paperwork.

I said this in another thread, but "things happening/existing before you know about them" is something I'm working on with my child, not something a presidential candidate should struggle with.

[–] palordrolap@kbin.run 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a joke involving peril sensitive sunglasses here somewhere.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

In the full quote he did say she turned black "a number of years ago", for context, but he's still full of shit.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that dude's got tiny hands

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is probably a Republican mindset that "race" is still a thing in the US. Who the f cares what race Kamela Harris is - besides "Human"

[–] Crowfiend@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

As someone who grew up in a (not so surprising) racist family: I promise you, they don't care. If she had an (R) next to her name, they'd be voting for her instead of Trump, as long as the opponent had a (D) next to their name.

The modern republican party is what's left of "the south that will rise again". Doesn't matter that Donnie dipshit wasn't born in the south, that's the demographic he's been taught, all his life, that matters.

And in Donnie the dipshit's case, it's basically still 1800s America. Guy hasn't moved a millimeter since 1990. Guy probably doesn't know what the word 'no' even means.

If you vote for Donnie Dumbass, I hope once the liberals are gone ,he comes for you next.

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Remember how people were betting when he’d say something openly racist? Bets were September, turns out it was June!

I did not consent to July.

[–] ahornsirup@feddit.org 10 points 2 years ago

Well, good news for you: it's August now.

[–] abaddon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And only July for today. You ok qooqie?

[–] groupofcrows@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Qooqie time travelled from the past to warn us about a grave threat in our past.... These Marvel movies keep getting worse since End Game.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

You didn’t know? Black is a choice!

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

Cool. I’m opting out.

One generational wealth, please.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Weird how so many people choose to be brutalized by cops, isn't it?

Such an old weirdo. He is quite old and rather weird!

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wonder if they booked this event a few weeks back when Trump was trying to woo black voters.

Since Biden stepped back and Kamala stepped up he would've abandoned that I guess - seems like instead he's taken the opportunity to upset black voters in order to appeal to his base.

Of course, he could just be being himself.

[–] Tire@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

This was a great well deserved ambush. The very first question was absolutely devastating for him and got him to show his nasty side. He can appeal to his base all he wants because they aren’t the majority.

It's funny (sad funny, not haha funny) we can't really know if what he said was just an incoherent sentence due to his obvious dementia or a racist comment due to his rampant racism or a misogynist comment due to his unbridled misogyny

Trump truly is a whole package of shit

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What a fucking moron. My god he represents his voters well.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

And his repugnican cronies just smile and nod just like hes speaking gospel. Can them all, tuna style

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I would have thought it was a low bar to clear of not questioning if she is black, but here we are.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Anyone want to vote for any of racist Trumps?

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Must be why he hasn’t been asking for her birth certificate.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Just like his heart, except that was too long ago to remember.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I see it is back up to its old tricks again
