Not to make too much of it, but I'd posit that Americans can handle race better when the person in question isn't too Black in presentation, outlook, skin tone....   

A dismal truth pretty much universally recognized.   Media portrayals of blacks for the most part (before shows like Grays Anatomy) tended towards very Euro looking people.   (read some social scientist,  a few years back,  who studied the effect on a global scale, and found the same thing in various parts of the world,  e.g. Bollywood actors tend to be paler than the average Indian)

In that OJ documentary there is a weird moment where one wealthy white guy explains that they didn't think of OJ as black.  And then goes on to say that OJ looked white, had white features.  OJ was a good looking guy with a nice manner, but his facial features certainly are black and not at all white.  It's bizarre how this guy reprocessed OJ's racial appearance, or that he felt the need to do so.

Yes, Marjorie Greene is the Republican party's future. Also, its past.

I can hear Red's voice on the right side of these panels.

Then there are women who lie ..to the police and in court to gain wrongful convictions and then sue for financial compensation, as men are carted away to prison for the best part of their lives.
Google "False rape allegations"...it's all there in black and white.

Hey, Bambi?

Why don't you try addressing the TRUTH of what this says, for a change, instead of trying to change the topic?

Are you denying that what this describes actually happens? Are you claiming that it's untrue or true less often than made up?!

bambu did something in his past that he’s afraid will catch up to him one day.

LOL!
No better example than Joe Biden who in 2007 said in describing Barack Obama:

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Looking at a guy named Barack Obama through the eyes of a sixtyish Irish Catholic?

Well... yeah.
Where’s the lie?

Ask Joe. He apologized to Obama.

[NeedsAdjustments]

Meanwhile REDSTATEWARD won't be asking Trump to apologize for tweeting racist tropes about black people moving in and ruining nice white suburbs, because he's fine with it when the racism is intentional and sincere.

Cultural gap between Kamala and African-American voters.   Father Jamaican,  mother East Indian,  spent a lot of childhood with Mom in Montreal speaking French.  And unlike Obama (also not descended from American blacks) ,  she didn't marry into an African-American family.   I don't think any of this is a big problem,  but it helps to understand why some black voters see her as an outsider who went to Howard to get some blackness tutorials.   And the thing with prosecution of parents with truant children in California, signaling maybe she didn't quite get the challenges of single parenting.   

If Joe wasn't 78 around inauguration, none of this would matter quite as much.

If black people trusted white voters this wouldn’t matter much.

Why do you think Joe Biden got the black vote? Because black people want Trump out and white folks showed they’d vote for a racist moron over a qualified white woman.

The nation is about to be introduced to “SKEE WEE!”

Watch.

Here’s a good take on Harris that scratches below the surface of her identification as a Black women.

Good ole Red-he goes back 13 years to try and tarnish Biden who was complimenting Obama.

Wouldn't it be easier to look back 10 minutes, andreflect upon the long list of examples of naked hatred and prejudice Trump feeds the deplorables daily and has for years?

Trump is going to bathe in filth for the next couple of months and run a campaign filled with hate and lies and Russian interference and voter suppression.

Why anyone who loves America would vote for Trump is beyond me-the motherfucker represents nothing NOTHING decent Americans can rally around or be proud about.

He is an inept corrupt racist Russian puppet.

and its far past time to cut the strings.
