Seems odd that people have forgotten about the “one drop rule” - you know, the one that said that if anyone had “one drop” of African blood they were considered black, and thus not eligible for the privileges of being white? Only ever given any credence in the US, and particularly in the South. 

Seems the right can play whichever side it wants, when it’s convenient for them. 

For real? I mean c'mon now, plastic man cant even make that big of a stretch lol

Warren took the bait and that was foolish.  But at the end of the day, Trump also moved the goal posts, no surprise because he is a liar and notoriously cheap with his own money (not ours).  
If I were NA, I'd be annoyed with both of them.  Trump for using the derogatory term over and over and Warren for being a fool.  

What's preferable, a racist or a fool?  You decide.  

It's a non-fucking-issue.

Maybe to you, and certainly in the grand scheme of things, but that's why Warren was stupid.  It was a trap and it was a non-issue until she stooped to her level.  

Yes, that was what she did, unfortunately.... But surely only the most biased people would let this stupid little issue, this misstep, especially considering the level of frustration that Trump creates, be a deal breaker. If this is all it takes, then minds have been lost.

Agreed.  I know Warren isn't running (yet), but anyone who hasn't formed a concrete opinion on Trump at this point, just isn't paying the slightest attention.

I more meant that how frustrating Trump is to Warren herself was a factor in her stooping. Christ, a reasonable woman can only take so much!

That is certainly a deliberate strategy by Trump.  He isn't stupid.  He's a master at manipulating people.  His supporters are the stupid ones.

I have no idea what that response even means :l:lol:

But it’s true that the right used to insist that you were black if you had any black heritage in the slightest, but how convenient that you’re not First Nations if you have any FN heritage. 

Of course, they would be singing a different tune now anyway, when they get their own DNA results and find that their families are not what they believed.

Yeah... the Nuremberg Laws were very clear on how to establish lineage and what % makes someone a Jew.  DJT jr. is very supportive of the Americanizing of the laws.

We are holding modern Republicans/Conservatives responsible for something that came out of the 19th century that was adopted by a few states early in the 20th century?

Honestly, that's ridiculous, and quite a stretch

Well, no, that’s not what I said at all . How did you get that?

I was drawing a parallel between the belief systems.

Why? Playing the largest event in the world with a million people watching makes an artist an ass?

Politics is poisoning everything. It's a fucking halftime show lol
