    This is the one that makes me cringe. I have people i know that are completely convinced this is true. These are decent good people that have good intentions. They have jobs and children. I have known them for many years.

    "Facebook finally banned QAnon—the bonkers conspiracy theory that Trump is battling a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles (mostly Democrats and celebrities) who drink the blood of children, an unmistakable echo of anti-Semitic blood libel—but not before pushing it to millions of Americans and people around the world. The shared reality upon which democracy depends has been shredded."

    It's completely bonkers. They honestly think Tom Hanks moved to Greece because he is trying to escape conviction for his misdeeds selling children into pedophilia and satanists.

    Call me what you'd like, but I'm not a racist. I do believe she aggrandizes herself, though. That's why I used the term, "imposter" in my initial comments on this subject:

    "Harris is an imposter, disguised as a woman, disguised as a Black, disguised as someone who thinks she can handle the top job....which she can't."

    Notice I also used the phrase, "Disguised as a woman.....".....which obviously she is. The intent/context of my post was that I really don't think she's qualified for the position (FOLKS, SHE MIGHT VERY WELL BECOME PRESIDENT DURING BIDEN'S TERM, should he become elected!), and was solely....SOLELY chosen for such (probably by Democratic leadership) because she's a woman...and Black. IMO, that was pretty much the bottom-line criteria when making that selection. (i.e. a woman of color.)

    OK, I actually didn't think she was a "genuine" Black woman due to the fact that her parents are Indian and Jamaican. I felt that, even though she was chosen to be a VP candidate because she's Black, she really isn't truly African-American. Those were my understandings in that regard, but am posting this link which more or less refutes that line of thinking. I stand corrected on that.

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/29/poli...ump-jr-race-african-american-black/index.html

    Again, though, I am NOT a racist, and take umbrage towards anyone who simply labels me as one. Although, the term sure does seem to be freely bandied about.

    Don't forget that they chose her because she was attorney general of the largest state in the United States. I think this may play some small part in the decision of Biden to select her. It would seem refreshing that she might actually know the law. What do you think?

    Weren't she and Biden at odds regarding her "tough on crime" approach during this Black Lives Matter era we live in?

    I'm not a racist, just a white man who claims the right to decide who is really Black and supports a failed businessman who called Nazis very fine people.

    I think there are a few things you need to take away from this.

    1. Your phrasing is horrible. I think you meant that she is a phony, but instead of sticking with that (one could argue that point), you went with 'disguised as a woman/black' etc., which comes off as implying she is not a woman, or has not experienced what it's like to be black.

    2. If you feel she isn't qualified for President (disregarding the fact she has far more experience to be President than Trump did), one needn't bring up her race or gender.

    3. You are not the one who decides how a person of color gets to label their experience or what they consider themselves. This isn't a case of that nutter Rachel Dolezal who "claimed" she was black despite both of her parents being of German and Scandinavian descent. This is true, especially considering that A: Jamaicans are considered Americans B: A large portion of the country has it's ethos in Africa. and C: one who has parents from two different minority groups AND if people didn't know who her parents where would assume she was black.

    There are three main takeaways from this experience.

    1. You are incapable of evolving and understanding how your poor choice of words reflect incredibly poorly about your character.
    2. You are doing it on purpose because you find it funny.
    3. You are unaware that you are racist.

    And please spare me your typical pedantic response.

    These are your takeaways, pal. I think I explained myself effectively following my OP.

    you must have missed where I said spare me your pedantic response. It was meant to be sarcastic, because your responses are never intellectual but are just tripe.

    You cited her experience as an AG. Were her stances then commensurate with how she might govern today?

    I don't know about you, but if a large group of people who read my words thought "that guy's a racist" and in my mind I'm not one, the first thing I'd do is make a point of not talking that way anymore, and maybe listen to what they're saying about how I come off.

    The way you respond to this (and pretty much every other post you make where you think you've done a good job of representing your point) totally backfires on you. Every. Single. Time.

    I mean, it's actually both embarrassing and cringeworthy just how blissfully unaware you are about how you come off to people. Even people who *like* you and support you.

    Dude?
    This won't go well at all. Did you actually proof read this? Did you just start writing and thinking after the fact?

    I am thinking this cannot be genuine. You simply cannot be this off base.
    So that leads me to believe this is satire, parody or just really really bad trolling.
    I was trying to stay out of this but obviously i have entered the discussion.

    The old, “I’m not a racist but.......” disclaimer. Nice.

    So, when does the thread title morph to, “Turning pigs into sausage?”
