joooo-wan billiams cr@ps out of his ignorant raciss mouf.

Tip over already, you racist POS.

[JayGalt]

Ridiculous 2011, 2013. Just ignore the 100’s of thousands to Republican candidates the same years...

[sauropod]

I wonder if Juan remembers the white couple tortured and killed in Texas by a black person. Don’t remember their names or much about their story, but I do remember how studiously commentators like Juan avoid it.

Republicans received $630,150 in donations from Trump between 2011 and 2015, while Democrats received $8,500.

Look at how they frame this:

Imagine a 2024 vice presidential debate where the GOP candidate is a brown-skinned man, and he is telling a black woman, Vice President Kamala Harris, that Democrats take minority voters for granted.

So, according to the author Vivek is "a brown skinned man" whereas Kamala is "a black woman".

What's the reality?

If we're using color descriptions he's brown and she's tan.

If we're using ethnic descriptions -- well why not call him Indian or Hindu, that's what he is.

But then, why call her Black?

Her mom is (like Vivek's) 100% Indian Hindu, and her father is a mixed race Jamaican, part black and part white, like many famous Jamaicans. Bob Marley's father was White

.Kamala's father's paternal grandmother was Cristina Brown, who her father well remembers. Miss Christy, as she was called, was descended from Hamilton Brown, a Irish plantation owner in Jamaica who built the Anglican Church in Brown's Town, Jamaica.

Her own father is the one who provided all this detailed information on his ancestry, which Leftists like the odious FactCheck.com say is "unverified".

Here is his article, which is wonderful: Reflections of a Jamaican Father By Donald J. Harris

The fact is Kamala is more Indian (Hindu type) than Black. She's a full 50% Indian, and something less than that percent black, as the white great-great-great grandfather is part her black side.

I guess in America we are still applying the "one drop rule" ?

The author is a creepy race-baiting leftist to describe them in this way.

Juan would convince people you were a “white supremacist” from India if you told him that story. Because that story would ruin his narrative and destroy his messiah complex.

[thegagline]

As businessmen they have to keep both sides happy.

So Trump, as a business man, had to give Kamala Harris, a Californian, thousands of dollars. That is some weak drinks you are serving.

That said, as Asians continue their foray into politics, look for a lot more racism, however disguised as concern for the country, to show up by more and more blacks. Williams, to me, is no exception. Just wait until his job sees more Asians taking over.

[aculeus]

“I guess in America we are still applying the “one drop rule”?”

She is claiming “Black” for marketing purposes.

A few years ago “passing” referred to light-skin Negroes who were thought to be white.

Now we have a light-skinned person attempting to “pass” as a Black person.

Only in America. (Cue the Kate Smith tape.)

[TakebackGOP]

Anyone who is still listening to Juan Williams is a moron. He put on a nice guy act as Fox News was rising, and then he turned full leftwing, blacks are the victims, when Obama got elected in 2009.

[JesusIsLord]

... who will signify to many black voters as the guy that owns the local convenience store or hotel.

I don't have words. LOL!!

[Feckless]

A Racist can find Racism everywhere he looks. Talking to you, Juan.

[Hot Tabasco]

There’s a reason they’re trying to shove this clown down everyone’s throat. And it ain’t good.

Your response is precisely their intent..........

[qaz123]

I’m not fighting anyone or anything. I’m not the one doing the dividing.

I can see Ramaswamy for what he is. He’s a young guy. Quick on his feet. No one pays much attention to what he says because he’s barely on the radar.

Did he school the LBGTQ lady at some fair? Absolutely he did.

But, remember, he’ll release the Epstein client list. Unilaterally make that decision. I’m betting he has to go talk to the judge that imposed the order to not have it released. She might have a thing or two to say about it.

He’s going to get rid of the FBI. Yup, sure is. When Congress hands him the next omnibus or CR and that 2000+ page document includes funding for the FBI, maybe even a budget increase, is he going to shut down the economy over that? Nope.

He talks a good game. His focus groups tell him what people want to hear. Nothing more.

Carnival barker and snake oil salesman.

Vivek’s ideas are thrown out to intentionally cause the Left to defend its ludicrous actions.

DJT did it with the border.

But Vivek is striking the heart of all the Dems hypocrisies.

He’s even been going into the inner cities as well as appearing on their social media platforms.

Love seeing the Hill make their pathetic attempt to make him irrelevant.

They must know he’s resonating with minorities and the young vote and that he’s taking the battle directly to their base.

[MarMema]

He is most amusing.

I truly enjoy him.

A lot of fun.

[MarMema]

Yep.

Thanks.

[MarMema]

So who do you like?

[ridesthemiles]

HE IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT OR TO HOLD ANY OFFICE THAT CAN SUCCEED TO PRESIDENT.

HE IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
