Corporate gaslight press article presented under topic "humor" to grant it the respect it deserves.

Whatever you want to call us today, we remain the fastest growing demographic in our country. When we enter the spotlight, we are often treated as specimens, there to be dissected,...

I love it when they manufacture victimhood from whole cloth.

[SaveFerris]

(manufacture victimhood)

That seems to be what a lot of people are doing these days. Drama Queens.

"In Kamala Harris’s Blackness, I See My Own"

Me too! About half of the genetic pool from which I am descended came from Ireland too!

[Lizavetta]

In Kamala's blackness I see curry, forehead dots, and saris, LOL.

She's INDIAN far more than she's black, and not even African black at that.

When we enter the spotlight, we are often treated as specimens, there to be dissected,...

... or, if we're not dissected, we become the "invisible man."

Invisible Man is Ralph Ellison's first novel, the only one published during his lifetime. It was published by Random House in 1952, and addresses many of the social and intellectual issues faced by African Americans in the early 20th century, including black nationalism, the relationship between black identity and Marxism, and the reformist racial policies of Booker T. Washington, as well as issues of individuality and personal identity.

Heard on the radio ABC news a woman said Harris is bringing so much excitement, more than even Obama.
This is the crap we are up against.

[Albion Wilde]

He’s talking about her hypocrisy and fear of being discounted for being part black; the media insist on taking it as fear of blackness on his part.

[cgbg]

It is Kamala who said she was Indian. No mean racist white guy pointed a gun at her head and forced her to make this video:

“In Kamala Harris’s Blackness, I See My Own”

Oh brother, what BS.

[Sicon]

Oh, please. Kamala is even less black than the Halfrican.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

It’s thick as molasses.

[OttawaFreeper]

It is laughable the lecturing that these people engage in. So Donald dared to pinprick or challenge this persona based on racial identity that Kamala and her media handlers wanted to present to the public. And he certainly did not make anything remotely personal or aimed at a race specifically in his remark.

[Olog-hai]

Yep, you’re so black, Danzy. (Wikipedia claims her father is black.)

[BipolarBob]

Who is John Galt Rachel Dozezal?

[Trailerpark Badass]

Whatever you want to call us today, we remain the fastest growing demographic in our country.

But whites who talk about a replacement strategy are paranoid xenophobics.

[cbvanb]

Funny, nobody was excited about her when she ran against Biden in the 2020 primaries. I wonder what changed??

Looks like her mama got around a little bit...

[Flaming Conservative]

Can someone tell me why someone who is, at most one quarter black gets to identify as black? T that’s just so Jim Crow, IMHO.
