    So he said that she used to identify as Indian, but now she identifies as black.

    Also, why is the media prodominantly calling her Black, and not acknowledging her Indian heritage?

      Because Trump did not deny her Indian heritage at this event. This is not a mystery, you shouldn’t need the concept of “context” to be explained to you.

        They call her Black on every media channel. Very rarely do they mention anything about her Indian heritage. Why? Cause being a black woman is more popular. It’s all about image to them.

          Because she is black and Indian. Living in America, most people are going to identify her as a black person, so she gets all the great shit that comes along with that. Since when has being a black women been popular? They’re one of the most mistreated people and being a black woman is hard as fuck.

                … so they could finally consider one for president but only after the corpse of a white dude finally gave in… real devilish plan, that is!

      Because black is a buzzword for the oppression Olympics to the left, they blindly praise and cheer that term.

      Her being Indian and only talking about her Indian side for most of her life is now irrelevant as it’s not as popular.

          Typically the white liberal, they are obsessed which is why this is a talking point to begin with.

          No, ignore her (lack of) merit, focus on the fact she is (half) black! Applause
