Bullsh!t.
She isn't right for the job and couldn't convince enough people to support her.

Show me where Republicans support strong black women.

You mean Niki Haley? She was elected Gov twice because she's smart and a good leader, not because she filled a quota in the identity grievance Olympics.

Democrats live by political identity, don't take it so hard when R's point out the foolishness.

Soooooo, Nikki Haley is a strong black woman?

Do her parents know this?!?!?

They are both Indian, which are considered black, not African. President Johnson would call her "colored".

Does that make her an American Indian or an Indian American

eastern Indian decedent are considered black skin people?

As far as I know they were by English colonial standards. I'm not an expert in race classification so I'll defer to a democrat on the subject.

Huh! One of my Indian-American colleagues would take serious issue with that.

I'm pretty sure the English didn't consider them white, neither did Americans.

First two paragraphs:

Among one of the first recorded Indian in America was a mixed race girl born to an Indian father and an Irish-American mother in 1680 in Maryland. Due to her Indian-American father being classified as "Negro", she was classified as a mulatto and later sold into slavery.[3]

The earliest Indian immigrants into the United States were called "Hindoos" even though the majority of them were Sikhs. Court clerks classified these early immigrants from the Punjab region as being "white", "brown" or "black" based on their skin color for the purpose of marriage licenses. In addition to being racialized by their color, they were also racialized as being "foreigners".[1]

Niki Haley is NOT a Black woman.

I don't really care what you call her. She's a great leader. The whole point was the farce of identity politics. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

If you're a mainstream democrat, you're a racist.

Impeachment is political so expect political repercussions for trying to impeach a president because you don't like him.

Mollie Hemingway reported Jerry Naddler was caught talking openly about impeaching both Trump and Kavanaugh months ago.

So you agree that a President doesn't have to break a law to be Impeached, right?

Way to change the subject....lol

So, show me where Republicans support strong black women.

Yeah, you probably REALLY need to read the whole thing. It ain't Johnson's era no more....

Thanks for the read, I had no idea of any such thing.

kinda of a cruel way they referred to the eastern Indian people,IMO

Correct. House can impeach him for using ketchup on his steak. Impeachment is a serious matter and there will be political consequences.

Democrat party is still racist. Maybe you should check democrat history. Identity politics then, identity politics now.

 

[lennco]

Democrat party is still racist. Maybe you should check democrat history.

Republicans are by far more racist.

And this was the topic/issue I addressed?!?!?

I could have sworn it was the fact that you seemed to consider Nikki Haley and others of Indian decent to be black.

 

[mr-x]

Republicans are by far more racist.

That's the narrative. For the truth just ask any brown or black republican.


Democrats call anyone who disagrees politically racist.

She was considered black by white Americans until just recently. I can guarantee you.. if she as a D instead of an R, she'd be a "sister".

FYI - Indians are even more racist than Americans.

You think having more black friends makes you less racist. That is identity politics in a nutshell.
