Ah, race. Nothing else quite gets the juices flowing does it.

I’ll agree with a couple of our black posters and say that Meghan Markle would definitely be considered black.

How about Halle Berry? Definitely.

But how about Rashida Jones? Based on most of her roles, it seems she is considered white? Strange?

hmmmm I don't see it personally, but whatever floats your boat. She looks like she has a decent but not great tan to me. Maybe it's the hair.

Regardless, I don't GAF about her, I wish she would keep her anti Trump **** in Canada.

but the question is, “why do we care whether they are white or black”? Why are we so interested in trying to determine whether someone belongs in one race or another? Why are the labels so important? What purpose does it serve? I think the first thought people would have is that these are three attractive women rather than “I wonder if they are white or black”? Even the great MLK said he dreamed of the day when we won’t see black or white. Why are we not moving towards that dream? I guess I’m white and have roots from Germany but I sure don’t want to be called a white German-American. I prefer to just be called an American or simply a dude (sorry - I don’t have 50+ pronouns either).

Because that’s what we were talking about in this thread.

Dems can't keep them on the plantation if everyone is color blind.

When has biracial not been considered black? I am in my 40's and biracial kids have always been considered black. When did this change? The one drop rule is still an unspoken rule in my youth.

It doesn't matter what you think people consider; she is not 'black' and she is not 'white'. She's biologically both with predominantly caucasian features.

so is President Obama black or biracial? Because his mother is white. I have seen him called n-word this, n-word that. Maybe you need to tell other racist that biracial people are not black.

He is both black and white, therefore biracial as a fact of biology.
What do you mean "other racists"? Are you calling me racist?
I'm pretty sure black people called Obama black.

Your argument is off the damn rails.

I find it quite humorous that POC have to remind white folks about their rule regarding race. Their ancestors spent many a years reminding us that no matter how light our skin was, that we were still black. Now they conveniently forget, and want to call light skinned black people biracial.

So you're saying black folks call Obama black because we make you do it?

Markle's appearance is decidedly more white than black. That is merely an observance and not a One Drop-based argument on whether she should be called white or black.

I would say post a picture of known white person Jennifer Garner, and known black person Stacey Abrams, and let's vote on which Markle resembles more.

Actually, the discussion was Trump's statement re: not paying for the the couple's security. Seven minutes after thread was created and in the second reply, someone injected this dopey argument:
"This is red meat for the xenophobic racist supporters."

The thread degraded from there into race-based nonsense, again generated by the same dopey argument creator.

I don't think Trump's tweet had anything to do with race. I think he saw or heard someone make a comment about them moving here and should not expect us to pay for their security, he saw an opportunity to deflect attention from his mishandling of the coronavirus crisis.

He tweeted out of instinct, not knowing the facts, to change the subject.

So no, it was not borne of Trump's racism. It was symptomatic of his talking before he knows the facts.

if it makes you feel better, donald said it because he is a small petty man. His fragile feelings are still hurt because he was not invited to their wedding. So it was really not out of racism that he tweeted that....it was because his mangina was hurt. His supporters, saw something else. It is amazing how many of his supporters have an inferiority complex.

A small, fragile man would have folded after 3.5 years of being called traitor, racist, neo-Nazi, being investigated by a corrupt FBI, DOJ, and intel, impeached, and then taking the arrows for the bureaucratic failures of the CDC and FDA, an unrelenting media blitzkrieg against him. Instead he's at a term approval high, and your front runner is a pathetically diminished man. The medical "experts" - as Birx stated - back Trump's contention that given the data from China, no one forecast the seriousness of the virus. But we already knew that. Our military has corroborated them.

But continue lining up to get groin-kicked repeatedly, then whine about your busted eggs.
