Just made me realize that these "first black X" aren't actually full black. Do you think they'll do it again if we ever get actually "full" black options, just dismiss the earlier ones as "not really counting"?
Is SecHUD full black? Because he was also in the Republican primary against Trump. Pretty sure they said all the nastiest shit they could about him too.
They did pretty much this with the new Star Trek. Couldn't say "first female lead" or "first black lead", so it had to be "first black female lead role (you know, if you don't include Uhura)" So expect them to go first full black, first full black with a disability, first full black trans, first full black from the state of X and whatever other minor criteria they can just to declare whatever it is the First.
Our first "black" female VP candidate is half Indian. It took me 2 minutes on wikipedia to find out that that side (maternal) of her family was Brahmin.
On her "black" side, her father claimed that he was a descendent of the slave owner Hamilton Brown. Of course the narrative is that that ancestry is due to slave rape.
Politifact, in their fact check of the claim says:
Burnard, who wrote a book about Jamaican slave overseer Thomas Thistlewood, told us that if Kamala Harris’ father says he’s a descendant of Hamilton Brown, "I would be inclined to believe him."
It wouldn't be unusual for Harris to have "some slave owner heritage," Burnard said. "That would be extremely normal for members of Jamaica’s middle class, especially the educated elite, which is where Kamala Harris comes from."
So even if that were the case, it's clear her Jamaican background was privileged. As exemplified by the fact that her father was a professor of Economics at Stanford.
Then of course there's her record as a prosecutor which basically knocked her out of the primaries when Tulsi Gabbard called her on it during a debate.
She's literally the least black candidate conceivable.
Can we please stop posting every post on twitter here? I have no idea who these random people are, nor do I care what they think. This guy's not even famous.
Compare 'Bitter feminists compare childbirth to "taking a dump". Just how miserable are you?' and 'Statues of presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln, vandalized and taken down in Portland, Oregon.', both on the front page today.
We're looking at a story about something shocking that happened recently, and some gay author's opinion on motherhood, one of these is news, one of these I don't give a shit about. It's fair to post whatever, it's not like this is a super busy board, like you say, but I have seen a ton of these random attention seeking tweets in the last week or two.
I miss the days in which actors were seen as less than prostitutes.
We need to go back
Oy v-
TIL that there was a group that was seen as lower than prostitutes.
muslims?

He ain't black at all.
If you don't vote Biden, you ain't black, everyone knows that.
does that mean everyone outside the US is white?
Oh, well, now you're getting into "breed purity", can't have that. /s

brahim the most privileged and rascist of Indian castes.
She is voting for Biden, though...
It's always sad seeing men fighting for their own demise.
Shut up you fucking pussy.
Who pissed in your cereal?
One problem with that: You already have. Civil War is literally the only way you can go further.
and the result will be the Unites States of the Americas and you will be speaking Spannish.
Your only chance was to allow immigration from Europe, but now Europe is increasingly African/Asian you're fucked.
First black female VP candidate.
That's a very short list of specific adjectives. Probably because they are reaching to make her sound impressive.
She is Indian, lol. How can Black Americans accept this shared? She is Indian!!!
Guy who plays Peter Strzok on TV is of the same temperament and ideological bent? Shocker.
Fill in the blank "Fuck around and _______"
well half beast, half man is technically a monster
who?

It's not as if there is that much content on our Win to make it unbearable. Also, I mostly want it for archival purposes.
I guess. I just see a lot of "check out what this asshole on twitter said" posts, and if I wanted to see that I'd check twitter.
If they're referring to something relevant, like games journalism, let's focus that discussion rather than reacting to a twitterer.
2014 wants its talking points back.
