Having all of the above well represented in US makes US as whole diverse.
Crap, this is oversimplified ignorance.

There are no gaffs like Trump Gaffs. The moron in chief can’t talk unless he’s on a teleprompter.

Still dodging the question? Still waving the race card?
Not me. Biden. Many, many times. Let him talk, and inevitably a racist speaks.

Your post reminds me of the racist "one drop rule."


There are individuals who can pass as either black or white. There are people who identify as "white" that have some black ancestry. There are people who identify as "black" that genetically speaking are more white.

Unless they are a recent immigrant, all black Americans with a family history in the US are part white. In fact nearly a fourth part white and a smidgen Native American.
Yep. Diverse. Too bad Biden wouldn't know that because he's a racist.

Doesn't your hand get tired of waving the race card? Isn't venting out all that emotion draining the energy out of you?

No, he didn't say they are all the same, he even added "with notable exceptions".

Would you scream "RACISM" if someone said whites are not very diverse? I don't, and my ancestry is among the least diverse in the world. It is what is it. No need to get all emotional about it.

Why is being diverse such a batch of honor for you?

You said: "How many AAs are white? None

How many whites are black? None"

I think that is a bit racist.

You are denying the fact that people can be dual races.


If you want to argue that Biden is correct on ideological grounds, that statistically speaking self-identified blacks more than any other race in America votes as a block I would agree with you.

When you want to start constricting everyone on genetic grounds as strictly white or black, but not both - well I disagree with that form of racism.



Let me dumb it down a bit for you. I know a nice young lady. Her mom is white and her dad is black. But her dad has very fair skin for a black man - in fact lighter than my skin and I identify as white. This young lady could identify as white or black. If she told you she was white - you wouldn't think she was wrong as she has lighter skin than me and straight long hair. She identifies as both. She is smart and actually got a really nice scholarship for minorities.

In fact, I thought she was white for the longest time until I got to know her better and found out that she is part black and identifies as both.

It is unfair to tell her that she is either white or black, but doesn't belong to both.

It is actually extremely offensive and reminiscent of the racist "one drop rule" - look it up.

It’s not really racist, but it is incredibly ignorant. I’m surprised that you’re actually defending this nonsense. He is a boomer from an overwhelmingly white town who probably didn’t interact with anyone outside his race until he was well into his adult years. I don’t know why you would think he is some kind of authority on the matter.

I think what FinnJarber is doing is a bit racist. I don't think he is a bad guy, but it is a touch racist.

If someone said that they were "both Italian and Irish" would FinnJarber interject that they can be Irish or Italian, but not both? I highly doubt it.

You look at the history of the "one drop rule" meant to put racial restrictions on people.

The famous Plessy v. Fergusson Supreme Court Case, he was something like 7/8ths White and could pass as a white man, but people shrieked you are either white or black, not both and if you have one drop of black blood you are black and he was segregated out of the train car.

WHAT IN THE HE!!. Wow. Dude....is he TRYING to make Black voters not vote for him? Talk about stepping on your own tongue. What a STUPID comment.
Black voters don’t like any white candidate. Black voters want money. That’s it, nothing more. We don’t care about your values, your lifestyles or whatever. Money the only thing we care about. If trump gives it to us, we’ll go with that. If he doesn’t, we’ll take it from somebody else. All white candidates are better off pandering to whites and non blacks. I’m just telling it like it is. I can’t believe so many whites think blacks actually care about your politics other than the money. Trump has plenty of it and that’s why we like him.
