As a mixed person, I identify with all of my heritage but take no issue with others who identify differently. We all have different experiences.
Obama identified with getting into the office of president more than anything else. He wanted to marry a white woman but he said he'd decided he needed to marry a black woman, because of politics, so he dumped the white woman and later went after Michelle. Do you think he was lying about it in his book?
Isn’t she half black?
Never understood aelf loathing about your race. Then again we got Candice Owens. I guess it sells when you become a megaphone for people that don't like your people.
Yes, hence why she said she acknowledges both sides. Let's be real, where's the lie? Obama and his followers not only seem to forget that he's half white, but they'll attack anyone who points it out, like they did with Steele.
Also, what's your beef with Candace Owens? Is it because she was once a Democrat who saw the party for what it was - using Black people as a tool whenever it's convenient for them. Are you mad that she is now a Republican who doesn't fall victim to Democrats playing off Black people's emotions, because they know the race card gets them fired up which aids them to further their agenda, even though Democrats really haven't done anything to uplift Black communities?
The one black guy that the republicans parades around? Oh ya. I voted no. Dude had some wacky positions on minimum wage and schools.
There's plenty of Black Republicans but sure, let's act like Elder is the only one. And it couldn't have been any wackier than a Governor who tells everyone to suck it up and embrace remote learning, especially since "he and his wife are dealing with too", all while he gets caught dropping his kids off at a private school. And let's not forget Newsom was also caught taking his kids to a private summer camp after shutting them down for everyone else.
Oh oh oh! Don't also forget how illegals get free education and even get to use the same school buildings YOUR CHILDREN who are here LEGALLY use, except they've all been told to keep on doing remote learning. And what has Newsom done for job growth in Cali? Care to share? Because it seems that the only business he cares about is his crappy winery. He single-handedly destroyed the hospitality industry in your joke of a state.
But congrats on the win I guess? Make sure you watch where you step when your outside. Wouldn't want a used needle to get stuck on your sneakers, as well as stepping in human waste.
Candace Owens received racist death threats in high school, had to drop out of college because of student loans, ran an anti-conservative blog (quote from Candace about the Republican Party: “The good news is, they will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope), and then we can get right on with the OBVIOUS social change that needs to happen, IMMEDIATELY.”) and made fun of Trumps small dick, then founded a site dedicated to tracking cyber bullies digital footprint which became a doxing and witch-hunting hotbed, which led to people getting angry at her and leaking her personal info, and when she blamed this on progressives (with little evidence), she got massive praise by conservatives YouTubers, causing a sudden political transformation.
So really, she saw the opportunity to grift and danced with it
Almost all of these bi-racial people claim their minority side first, over their Anglo side.
Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal are white and pretend to be black. Obama identified as black.
Elizabeth Warren lied about her Indian lineage in order to secure a high paying job at Harvard.
What does all of this tell us?
There is NO ADVANTAGE in being white.
So can we finally sh*t-can this idea of "white privilege" please?
Ummm no. It tells you that U.S. culture still pushes the one-drop rule, particularly when it comes to mixed white/black people. Obama’s mother and family raised him to identify as black because they were AMERICAN. Africans generally do not do that. If you are mixed, you are both to them.
White America pushed the one-drop rules for ages and often still do. It has nothing to do with the white privilege issue.
She asked for that. That’s how his white family raised him and it’s his experience. Furthermore, his wife is African-American and perhaps he feels to identify more with his wife and children. She married White too so her White family includes her husband and children as well.
As a mixed person, I identify with all of my heritage but take no issue with others who identify differently. We all have different experiences.
Why did she deserve anything for speaking her truth and voicing her opinion? Why are you so afraid of simple conversation? Obama is 1/2 white and 1/2 black. He made a mindful decision to ignore his 1/2 white portion and embrace his 1/2 black portion. That's a fact. That was his choice. She did not make that same decision. What is wrong with that?
