I guess so. But dont leave out the rest of the story. The moment I got called out for using the term, I immediately rectified it. From my own post:

How about this. Kamala was a baby who was born on American soil whose parents werent citizens. Hows that?

I have NEVER in this thread defended the term, and immediately rectified it. I guess the rest of the posters here only see my first post where I used it. Theyre lack of intelligence seems to have prevented them from reading my redaction.

edit: the disturbing thing is you guys dont know when to back the fuck off when I do correct myself, while totally ignoring the meat of my post...which is Kamala is totally qualified to serve.

And you call my behavior disturbing?

yeah, you don't know when to chill.

I get it.

...but seriously dude, mea culpa is all you have to say.

Do you know what that means?

Is this post here more of the same being in your bubble: you expect blood, severed heads, not to come out of the pit alive? That's how the pubs treat your own when you get beaten down? You see, we actually listen and talk, generally let people live if blame isn't necessarily theirs. ...that's kind of where humanity went in the 20th century (I know you don't like to believe this, but it happens to be true anyway). I know the GOP is still catching up to the previous century+, and I do believe you are one of those, maybe a bit ahead of your pack, still dragging ass....but this flailing about and claiming victim and violence against you after the crowd is starting to get on your side here...seriously dude, shut the fuck up about it. Literally none of the responses to your bigotry here are disturbing. At all.

It is what happens when humanity is confronted with extinct creatures, ideas, long since past. Your comment is basically the same as dragging up the first ceolocanth from the depths of ocean. everyone is just fucking shocked and working out how to explain it. the ceolocanth doesn't get it--just chilling about on the floor, very few siblings of its own, and little reason to assume the world has changed around it...in the last 20 million years...but it's still there.

and so your post. and so the world is shocked when you "innocently" profess a preposterously bigoted perspective on a simple issue that absolutely deserves no such bigotry. and yet...you desire to be the aggrieved party for actually saying something so preposterously vile as if it's standard fare. the one lost behind. the one "most terrorized" for...I dunno, failure to fucking read for the last 30 years? really, is that what you're going with?

settle your brain a bit and learn to chill. Believe me: I know it's difficult.

Well, so far Trump hasnt legitimized the theory, only saying he'd look into it. Im sure he'll fall for it though. We'll see.

yeah, totally what John McCain did when the Palin idiots at his rally started chanting the birther shit about Obama. McCain just played it off like, "maybe so, maybe not, I don't know really," right?

Remember that guy, McCain?

funny shit, it's weird no one gave him any flack for being born in Panama.

Oh, as mentioned earlier, that distended rectum that is Ted Cruz, a Canadian, ....why doesn't any Pub ever call him out?

These are grand mysteries.

That legitimizes it. If you're not denouncing it as horseshit, you're giving it legitimacy by implying it's possible, even if it's not plausible.

IMO the only question is will Trump actively advocate this flavour of birtherism or whether he'll happily dog-whistle it through "mentions" like "people are saying".

Trump's a feature of habit. Just like birtherism 1.0, he'll bring it up, for the useful idiots maybe throw a "who knows? Nobody" at the end.

I heard this earlier this week. It has nothing to do with her race, however. But the argument is per the Constitution, as we all have read Im sure, is:



Now, the birther people claim there is a loophole for anchor babies (which Kamala is) that technically doesnt fall under the "natural born citizen" statement. However, the Constitution makes no much mention of this, and SCOTUS has already determined anchor babies ARE in fact natural born citizens, REGARDLESS of the baby's parent's status. Also, the birther people are arguing since she grew up as a teenager in Canada, she's disqualified. Which is bullshit, of course, because she DOES meet the requirement of time lived in the USA.

In other words, the whole thing is bullshit and not even worth the breath to argue about it.
If it's not about race why did the Democrats expressly say they are not questioning John McCain's citizenship and he actually was not born in the United States but in the Panama Canal Zone.

I guess next you are going to tell us the birtherism campaign against Obama claiming he was some black Kenyan Muslim interloper wasn't racist either.

So your claim out of the hundreds of Presidential and VP candidates the only ones who Republicans tried to turn into non citizens being black is a coincidence?

I guess a Republican calling Harris "Aunt Jemima" isn't racist either?

Read the definition of promote. That is exactly what Trump did. Using the "some people are saying" bit. Citing a well respected lawyer. You don't have to explicitly agree with something to promote it.

to help or encourage to exist or flourish; further:to promote world peace.
to advance in rank, dignity, position, etc. (opposed to demote).

Racism is so ingrained in the Republican party that even when explicitly explained, they truly can't see it. It's just "normal" for them.

Yep, its not "real racism" because there wasn't an all white lynch mob literally saying "kill the n-----!" with a noose. Hell even then they'd be doing everything they can to go "that's not real!"

From what I’ve seen displayed by conservatives over and over, they seem to have no clue as to what racism is, what sexism is, or even the definitions of common words and phrases...see a few posts above for an example of such.

Sadly, it’s willful ignorance on their part...outside the conservative rules like only whites get to decide what racism is for people of color; only old, white men get to decide what sexism is, etc., etc.
