Not an African American, neither was Obama.

Do you think that you are really qualified to make that determination. Do you know what college she attended?

Your remarks shows a lack of information on the issue. More Africans emigrated to America than were brought here in chains. Should we have some sort of different name for them?

It would have been a vote “against Trump”.
Also, as much as I hate to say this, people have in the back of their mind that Biden might die or even have to step down due to illness.

His perfect VP would have been Michelle Obama. Too bad she apparently wasn’t available because I can’t imagine they didn’t inquire.

Most conservatives in my world loathe Michelle Obama. They never would have been swayed to vote for Biden if she were his VP.
 
So, is America not ready yet for a descendant of slaves to be President or VP?
 
The salient question is why it was it was asked at all? It is essentially a ‘loyalty test type’ question. The idea of a Catholic organization speaking against abortion is hardly surprising and if that means people are going to be questioned in that manner that is not something I would endorse which ever side was doing or it whatever faith was involved.

Because he was a judicial nominee and it’s important to know that a person in such a position can judge impartially based on precedent.

Well, thanks for the compliments. Really sharp response, “Are you qualified?”. Do you have anything to actually rebut or refute what I said?

And this is Wapo:

Remember, talk about the issues, not each other.

By the way, I don’t believe Obama’s father was ever an American citizen, so how can we be talking about citizenship here? Anyway, this isn’t the topic of this thread and it’s pretty well established.

Over half of this country is overweight. I don’t see a lot of anti fat bigotry. Unless you’re counting doctors saying it’s unhealthy.

Kamala’s ancestor owned slaves back in the day, so I think you might be barking up the wrong tree…

Not sure you understood my post. Neither Obama nor Harris are descended from American slaves. They are Black, though.

So, when are we going to do that? Ever?

Check Duncan Hunter, who recently plead guilty to corruption. Conservative Republicans loved him.
" The ad was by Duncan D. Hunter, a Republican incumbent in the House who narrowly won reelection in California’s 50th Congressional District. Hunter’s opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar, is half Arab and half Latino. In the ad, Campa-Najjar was described as a “security threat” working to “infiltrate Congress” with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Washington Post’s Fact Checker gave the ad four Pinocchios for its false or misleading claims and its “naked anti-Muslim bias.”

I don’t see racial bias there. Just well grounded caution against one of the oldest threats to western civilization.
