‘You Ain’t Black’
The guy who said, “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking” is now telling black people they “ain’t Black” if they are unsure about voting for him.
This is the same candidate that all of the woke diversity crowd will be voting for in November without any sense of irony. Telling a Black man that he isn’t Black is insulting enough, but he went and used the word “ain’t.” I was always taught that “ain’t” ain’t a word. I don’t hear Biden using ain’t on a regular basis. No doubt in his mind he thought, “That’s how those people talk.” Perhaps he remembers back to his lifeguard days when Black children would say to him, “I ain’t gonna play with your leg hair, that’s weird!”
And the scariest thing is, he could win. Wake up, people!

Because non-Jews telling Jews how they should be Jews is a totally okay thing to do?
Here’s an article which includes the quote.
They are deeply related. A population’s ability to cooperate together to make money and a government that allows such cooperation both require a great deal of virtue.
Color me skeptical. Voting is thoroughly irrational with a small gloss of irrationality. As are most things humans do.
That is not the same thing at all. He did not say they were not Jews, he said they were disloyal to Isreal.
You are simply wrong in how you choose to see this. Trump is not telling Jews how to be Jews.
And I agree with him. If one supports Isreal, one should not vote Democrat.
Then again, if one supports America, one should not vote Democrat.
Why should they be loyal to Israel?
They don’t need to be but black people do need to be black, which is why the two statements aren’t even a little bit similar .
Good point. If America is so racist, why is it the immigration destination of choice for people of color?
An interesting conclusion to take from the question of whether India is a great country or not.
(India, btw, is extremely racist.)
But according to a trump they should be.
Or does he not think that? Was it a random comment that he would make and has made to any group he addresses, not just a group of Jews?

Sadly there is alot of racism to go around. Thankfully, America is one of the least racist countries on Earth. India’s still got some work to do.
But we should be hopeful. America most certainly wouldn’t have ranked as one of the least racist countries in the world a few decades ago. Great improvements can be made.
Assuming that citizens of Israel would support Israel isn’t a big deal. But if they don’t, it doesn’t mean they “ain’t Jews” If Biden said black people should support me because of . . . That would not have the same as denying someone’s race
Trump wasn’t speaking to citizens of Israel. He was speaking to Americans who were Jewish.
Was it not great a few decades ago?
Actually, you posted his cleaned up version from the following day. Originally, he just said Jews had a lack of knowledge and were disloyal. Sounded like he was implying they were disloyal to America. But, he attempted a lame clean up. Not much better…..since as you say, American Jews aren’t obligated to be loyal to Israel.
I don’t know, why should they? That was not anywhere in the article. The use of the word “Should” comes from you.
Again, this is trying to steal a base. I think you just got picked off.
Don’t see in that article where Trump said that. Now, I happen to think they should be, and maybe Trump does, but so what? I don’t see how that is anything like telling blacks they are not black. Really, Zafar, you are conflating what someone believes with someone’s race. I don’t think you are that stupid, so I have to believe this is willful wrongness to try to make a false point. How leftist of you, as is typical.
And Catholics can vote for the party of abortion.
Y’all are working hard at “what about ism” on something that is not even worthy of it.
Standard leftist tactics. When you don’t have the truth on your side, lie about what was said.
There’s more. CBS News covers this. Good.
And they talk to Democrat Strategist Joel Payne, who doubts the models are authentically pro Trump.
The first thing he says is:
“The two models showing those shirts; I wonder if they’d actually vote for Donald Trump. That might be a good question for an industrious journalist to go into.”
That’s sounds pretty racist to me.
And back at ya:
Aaand, a new 7 minute version:
Trump may actually do better with black voters this year, but that won’t help him, since the losses with whites are too great. Latest FOX poll has him at 12% of the black vote (only got 8% in 2016) while he’s at 48% of the white vote (he got 57% in 2016) He’s losing suburban women by nearly 30%! Game over. A few extra black votes and some T-shirts won’t change that. Trump will say 10 more offensive things by mid week and nobody will remember Biden’s gaffe anymore.
So much wishcasting.
Polls? Sheeshe…
The ‘should’ comes from the accusation of disloyalty. Which only makes sense if they should be loyal.
Follow?
Not as great as it should have been. Jim Crow will do that to a country.
To get back to wealth generation and greatness, racism makes a country poorer. Big corporations were longstanding opponents of segregation because they wanted to sell stuff to everybody. While I have not researched this extensively, there is a darn good argument that slavery makes you poorer because it is inefficient and that it is particularly inefficient for skilled labor.
Additionally, the economist Walter Williams noted that in South Africa, companies routinely broke apartheid because they needed to hire black workers.
As Socrates put it, “Virtue does not come from wealth, but wealth, and every other good thing which men have comes from virtue.” You combine virtue with excellence (arete) and you can get alot of good stuff out of that.
For example, Stan Lee.
‘Still cranking them out:
It’s not letting up…
Biden’s campaign song:
“Thick as a Brick” by Jethro Tull
Nope. Your injection. And, still not the same thing.
Unless you can admit that, not much point in talking to you further.
But Bryan, I could accuse you being disloyal to Nigeria and it would make no sense if I didn’t think you should be loyal to Nigeria.
Your position on this doesn’t make sense to me, what am I missing?
Because this argument is a way of ignoring my core point. See how easy it is?
Biden said you have to vote for him to be black. That is wrong. That is nothing like what Trump said about disloyalty.
Until you concced *that* point, I don’t much care about what Trump said. Biden was wrong to say what he said, and nothing Trump said changes that.
I’ll wait.
