Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

Grunts were great. I still get amused at the reaction to a plasma grenade stuck to them. “Not again!”

Racists today are just lazy, relying on skin color to discriminate. Back in the day the Irish weren’t “white”. The IRISH!

Reminds me of the conspiracy theory Time Cube.

The guy who thought or Time Cube, evidently unhinged, attended a university to defend his claim.

After saying something racist, a person in the crowd claimed they were biracial.

“You’re WHAT?!”

Apparently the concept of people from different ethic backgrounds creating children is a nonstarter for some…

Trump: “A Black job is anybody that has a job,” Trump said. “That’s what it is. Anybody that has a job.”

And Biden didn’t make sense?

He’s trying to deal with his own previous statement, which implied that Blacks can only aspire to holding some kinds of jobs.

I’m familiar with him saying that before. I was surprised he hadn’t come up with an answer to the “what are black jobs” question since it has been all over the media in response to his prior claim. But I guess he’s too lazy or stupid to think ahead like that.

My comment was more directed at his nonsensical answer. First, if a black job is any job, then why specify it? Second, how can the answer to “what is a black job” be that it is a person?

Trump isn’t used to fact checking, or people having valid clarification questions. His whole thing is being loud and repeating talking points so people agree with him.

Such an obvious question he was going to get, and he has a slam dunk answer he could give. “Black people are historically oppressed, they are disproportionately in lower-education fields and thus disproportionately at risk of losing their job when there is an influx of lower-education workers.” It’s actually a fine pitch, but you can’t actually make it while also appealing to White Nationalists.

Asked what he meant when he once said immigrants were taking “Black jobs,” he said: “A Black job is anybody who has a job.”
