The issue is if you are Asian living in Asia. You would never experience the discrimination minorities face in the US. “It’s a harsher version of Koreans in Japan after WW2 but a lot worse
other Americans that are agreeing with “birther issue” .. usually are people with white privilege.
The case is not racist. That's the point. Xzi claimed it was based on making up a claim that was patently false. Racism existing in America doesn't change what the suit says. Your attempt to rationalize your practice of racism "correctly" only looks at my flag and makes assumptions on what kind of life I have lived, only to disenfranchise me from the conversation. That strawman you are propping looks a lot like you.

If you don't recognize it in yourself then nothing I can do or say will make the decision for you.

Zero evidence on this link as per. No video whatsoever, no proof he ever mocked anyone, just the usual racial stirring from racists.

There may not be proof of that specific incident, yet. But there are videos out there of Trump mocking many people including Indians and Asians. No reason for me to think this most recent one isn't factual.

I just got into politics at the beginning of the year.

Yes. We can tell.

You can keep repeating it all you want they will never see how racist it is to say shit like "your black," "your Asian," or "your (insert racial stereotype here" so you have to think this way and if you dont you are wrong. Waist of time trying to get them to see that. THEY WILL NEVER SEE PAST THEIR OWN SELF ADMINISTERED, OVER IMPORTANCE. Thinking they are goin to change the world no matter whos rights they stomp on the way.

Read the suit. Quote the racist part.
The racist part is the filing of the suit at all, how are you not understanding this? Such a lawsuit has never been filed against a white candidate and never will be, despite any number of white candidates being the children of first-generation immigrants. The history of accusing people of being "illegitimate Americans" is the history of the KKK and the Southern Strategy.

If you're willing to take the filing at face value and believe every word without a second thought, there's obviously nothing I can do to convince you. It's essentially the equivalent of believing a guy who just shouted the N-word when he says, "I can't be racist, I have a black friend." If you really want to debase yourself by continuing to play the role of easily-fooled rube, so be it. Matter of fact: while you're still in character, I have some oceanfront property in Colorado to sell, interested?

Seems to be politically motivated. I could be wrong, though. But I'm not talking about intentions.

Awe, that's closed minded.

If you're willing to take the filing at face value and believe every word
You said:

Accusing someone of being born outside of the US with no evidence to back the claim aside from the person's skin color is racism. Period.


I quoted the suit, specifically the part that acknowledges that Harris was born in the USA--meaning that you went off the rails and clearly had no idea what you were talking about.

I repeated what it said. I never gave an opinion if I think it is a good case, or a bad case, or if I agree with it. I didn't make a conclusion on the intention of the person behind it. You did, without proof.

Nobody claimed that. Biden has said and done plenty of racist things. Just one more reason why presidents are meant to be criticized and held accountable for their words and actions, not worshipped as cult leaders.

Seems to be politically motivated.
It's both politically and racially motivated. If she hadn't reached such a high position as a person of color, the suit never would've been filed. There was no such lawsuit filed when she was elected Senator, after all.

I quoted the suit, specifically the part that acknowledges that Harris was born in the USA
Yes I understand that, we're way past that point. It's still a racially charged accusation to say she's an "illegitimate American" just because her parents are first-generation immigrants, and again, her skin color is obviously a factor or the same suit would've been filed against Trump in 2016, along with any number of past presidents.

Were Kamala's parents registered citizens before she was born?

I have no idea, and it doesn't matter in the least. The constitution specifies that if you're born in the US, you're a US citizen.

Y'all are killing me here BTW, I really dislike Copmala for the things she did as California's AG, so I don't enjoy being put in the position of having to defend her. :lol:

Speak for yourself. You made a conclusion before reading the case and you are doing everything that you can to make the case fit your conclusion.

"Neither the Mother of Harris nor the Father of Harris (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parents of Harris") were citizens of the United States when Harris was born."

"However, the meaning of the words "natural born Citizen" has never been adjudicated by the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, there are persons that have sought to redefine the eligibility requirements for their own purposes. It has gone on not only in this presidential election but in the three previous elections."

"The voices of Plaintiffs, and each of them, criticizing Harris on this issue have been met with charges of racism and conspiracy, rather than any attempt to address the actual issue, accompanied by significant threats of violence."

Looks like you are referenced in this case as well Xzi.

Well, Trump is now... 1-58, I think? 59 maybe? So much winning, huh?

https://lawandcrime.com/2020-electi...sin-would-be-like-brown-v-board-of-education/ (Case background)

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...own-a-scalding-decision-in-extraordinary-case (The slapdown)

The background has some hilarious tidbits, such as... Election fraud not being necessary to declare election results void.

Seems to be the same story, no matter the state. "The elections were fraudulent! Declare them void! What, prove fraud? We don't have to prove that fraud happened for a election to be fraudulent! Whaa whaa whaa, Rigged!"

You wouldn't be surprised by this if you hadn't glossed over me telling you, multiple times, that the history of such accusations is the history of the KKK and the Southern Strategy. Of course people are touchy about this shit, Jesus.

I'm not surprised at all. Just because racism exists and is a touchy subject doesn't make it an argument on the presented issue. Even worse, is your position and justification of insidious racism.

But the whole case is based on racist intent. If Kamala parent were white European, this would not been a issue at all.
