White CNN host hurls shocking insult at group of black men for what they said when asked if they consider Kamala Harris black
Daily Mail ^ | 8/04/24 | Rachel Bowman

CNN anchor Michael Smerconish called black men who felt Kamala Harris is not really black 'low information voters.'

During his show on Saturday, Smerconish played a clip from CBS affiliate WHP filmed at a central Pennsylvania barber shop late last month asking black men what they thought about the vice president.

In the clip, a local journalist was speaking to black men at a barber shop when some said the didn't think Harris was black.

But Smerconish was quick to correct them, with a disparaging label.

'When I played that audio on my SiriusXM radio program on Thursday, many callers who self-identified as African American were quick to tell me that those men were the exception, not the rule,' Smerconish said.

'Some describe them as low-information voters no different than you'd find among whites.'

Left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald, who frequently calls out liberal hypocrisy, was among those accusing Smerconish of pompous behavior.

'Among the many hilarious parts of this CNN video is that, after the Black men explain their views on Kamala and race, the White Man of Authority calls them stupid, and says that's not how the majority of black people think, which he knows because his black friends told him so,' Greenwald posted on X.

Smerconish himself is a former Republican who has been an independent voter since 2010. He recently said that Harris has questions to answer about her ultra-liberal track record as she attempts to pivot to the center for her presidential campaign.

The segment played after Donald Trump's decision to question Kamala Harris's racial identity at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago on Wednesday.

Trump said he 'didn't know' Harris was black and thought she was 'Indian all the way.' He also said Harris 'happened to turn black' to appeal...

The dems and the media don’t want to talk about policy at all. They want to focus entirely on irrelevant physical characteristics because their policies are terrible for the nation.
The Trump team needs to move off of this and pivot into policy even when the media tries to focus on race, gender, etc. Call them out on it, ignore their race-bating questions and go right into the failed policies of biden/harris and contrast them to Trump’s.
********
And Trump’s name calling is only firing-up the Democrats’ hate and irritating voters who’d favor him on the issues but can be persuaded into viewing him as a schoolyard bully.

Hahahahahah...yet nobody seems to realize, Trump has them fighting each other over this.

Many black women are very racial...and vocal. They’re not going to accept Kamala as black and will speak it from the rooftops.

Many black MEN like Trump. The left see’s the fragmentation happening and are panicking. They really thought they could just present Kamala as a ‘black woman’ and turn it all around. Except the opposite is happening, black people see the gaslighting for what it is and they’re done with it.

He should have said; you ain't really black if you don't think Kamala isn't black, like Joe said.

Not this time.

It’s coming apart. There’s endless YouTube videos by black people showing this, the comment sections are also clear. Illegal immigration is not resulting in the way the D’s thought. They’ve taken the black vote for granted for so long and now they’ve sh*t on them at the same time. It isn’t going unnoticed.

I’m not saying PDJT will get 40% - but he doesn’t need to...20-30% would be deadly to the D’s.

The one drop rule applies to all races except 'White'.
She is an African-American and an India-Indian-American.
Wow. She has three hyphens.

And what a random bunch of African-American men say means nothing.
It is the ruling class who decide these things.

Also 'low information' seems to correlate with 'uppity'.

It seems like the left has adopted the racist attitudes of the old segregationist South where even one drop of black blood in your heritage makes you Black. The Nazis also embraced this one drop idea with their racial purity policies. The gentleman being interviewed are totally correct, Harris has little or nothing in common with Black Americans other that declaring herself to be Black and pandering to them.

It is interesting that the left strangely seems to be embracing the idea that race like gender is now a purely social construct,

Heels Up’s own father said that she wasn’t Black. Since the ā€œBlackā€ portion of her heritage could only have come from him, I would say that this pretty much settles the issue.

It doesn’t settle the issue.

Black has a capital B. That means it is whatever the group that describes themselves as Black says it is. Changing that one letter changed everything, as we copyeditors know. It’s no longer about how much of your heritage is black by the older rules.

Forget the short clip and the CNN host’s opinion.

HERE is the entire video.

Starting at the point the CNN host played about Kamala Harris:
https://youtu.be/rmvmGedyUYQ?t=1455

There’s much more to that short clip. The reporter goes on to ask how much race matters in a candidate.

The reporter also asked if they think Trump is a racist: https://youtu.be/rmvmGedyUYQ?t=1680
Wait to hear what the barber says about Trump after everyone else talks.

Earlier, they talk about immigration: https://youtu.be/rmvmGedyUYQ?t=965

At the end, the reporter asks which candidate would get their vote if the election were held today:
https://youtu.be/rmvmGedyUYQ?t=2463

These guys were thoughtful and honest.

If Republicans want these votes, pay attention.

White CNN idiot calls blacks who don’t tow the line not black. Surprised he didn’t say Uncle Tom.

Thus, shut up blacks and get back to your place in the fields.

It depends on whether they were naturalized before her birth, which they were not in kamala’s case.. That made them subjects of another country, and same as when citizens of this country have children overseas, those children are protected subjects of their parents’ countries.
