Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

    How is claiming Harris “turned black” not very racist?

    That’s not him denying being racist, that’s him being racist

      I’m not saying that he didn’t make racist statements. (I think he did.) I’m saying that, given that he didn’t go up on stage and say “whites are the master race,” he did not go “full racist” the way that this headline claims.

        Having a differing definition of what “full racist” means from the author does not make it false

          What’s the author’s personal definition of “full” in this context if it isn’t something like “being at the highest or greatest degree”?

            You seem to be arguing that because there’s the possibility of being more obvious, then it wasn’t full.

            Your example doesn’t include killing or enslaving people for their race. So it’s not full racist.

            Or there is no objective line, but semi-arbitrary lines and we all get to gatekeep each other’s lines.

            Because that’s the best use of our time.

            He’s obviously racist. Let’s see how he does as he continues to tilt.

            Are you defending racism? It sounds like you’re sad Trump got called full racist, instead of half-racist, but why? Do you want to make sure poor Donny doesn’t get trash talked? Wtf?

            A little racism, is too much racism. One Nazi, are too many Nazis.
