Birtherism 2.0: The Totally-Not-Racist Party Strikes Again

Trump harshly & shallowly judges all political foes,
be they white, "colored", male, female, or other.
Correct. He is a very prejudiced man. Sometimes one form of prejudice is operative, sometimes another form.

This time, his opponent was a colored woman. So Trump picked the racist tie to wear today.

And yet it was challenged by - or so you have claimed - a not-racist person for not-racist reason.
You've mis-stated my claim.
Why do you think that was the case for Obama, and not for, say, one of the Clintons?
The obvious answer is that there was potential in one, but not the other.
Why challenge McCain, but not Palin?
Why challenge Cruz, but not Romney?
Someone saw opportunity.
What set Obama, a Democrat born in the US to American parents, apart from Hillary Clinton, a Democrat born in the US to American parents?
Why are people questioning Kamala Harris's eligibility, but not Joe Biden's?
You're asking detailed questions.
I suggest that you read search results on the internet.

Oh good, we're doing this song and dance again.

Then I guess there was no rhyme or reason to it. And if there was a reason, it would be impossible for us to find out, as the minds of men are too inscrutable and mysterious to glean meaning from human action.

If you want to avoid it, then use the quote function.
Re-stating a post often results in changes of meaning.

You guess wrong.
For example, Cruz & McCain were born in foreign countries.
This complicated matters.
You should read up on it.

We've been over this already. Obama & Harris were not born in foreign countries.
But if discussing such issues makes you uncomfortable, then I'll drop it.

Whoah, Tambourine! Revolt specifically said he never said Trump isn’t a racist.

So whether Trump is a racist, or isn’t, or has said something racist, or hasn’t - we have no way of knowing Revolt’s position on any of those things. The only thing we know for sure in this otherwise unknowable situation is that when Trump - who, to be crystal clear, Revolt said he never said isn’t racist - questions the citizenship of our first colored woman VP candidate, it’s definitely not racist somehow.

Does that clarify?

Tons of nuance here so please try to follow along. We wouldn’t want to jump to unfair conclusions about why Trump jumps to unfair conclusions about colored people, now would we. That’s what’s important here .

That sounds like it's entirely your own problem.
If you want detailed answers to many questions about
issues you're unfamiliar with, then it's cumbersome for
me to provide it. You should do your basic homework.
The internet is there, ready to provide.

Yea, I already noticed that you really don't seem to like these sorts of debates.
I think it's best if I just put you on Ignore for a while.
 
Whoops, I just realized I referred to Kamala as “colored” not once, but multiple times. I meant to say woman “of color”.

Sorry about that.

Wow, now I know how Trump feels. You make an honest mistake, you feel terrible, you apologize ... now I feel guilty for being so quick to judge him. Boy, am I getting a taste of my own medicine right now.

People don’t realize how hurtful accusations of racism against white men can be unless you’ve walked in their shoes.

No one has suggested she isn’t a citizen. The question is whether she is a natural born citizen.
It shouldn't be hard to determine. I suppose it's the birth certificate along the lines of Obama to settle things.

Have you seen Donald Trump's birth certificate with your own eyes?
If not, then why do you assume that he is a natural born citizen?

In fact, how can you know that any particular American is a natural born citizen?
Why do you think don't people assume that everyone entering American politics is a foreigner with a fake passport until proven otherwise?
They would know anyways. A birth certificate is required for those positions.

I think its more a talking point than anything else.
