Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It happened, but wrong Black dude.
Maybe Holden and Brown both became black like Kamala and when you're a fresh black person, you tend to look like the industrial negroid mold they use.
Trending on xitter (for real, I just spent 72 hours there, voluntarily, was invited to join in April, '06, made acct, never used it):
"Kamala isn't African-American. She's Jamaican-Indian!"
True story.
Oh, now I can dunk, "I deleted my 18 year old twitter!"
Yeah, there's this new idea they're trying to push that Jamaicans aren't black. Wait until they find out that her father had a white grandparent. I'm guessing they won't agree that a multiracial child of a multiracial man is pretty fucking awesome. But they're still both black.
They're also pointing out she's descended from slave owners (Hamilton?), so they're making her less Black by the minute.

Song by Peter Tosh
Peter Tosh. From Jamaica. So not black for some reason that the MAGA assholes can't actually explain.
What would he know...?
Just don’t tell them how Jamaicans got there.
No, the right dude was also asked and said that while he flew with trump there was never an emergency incident.
Still a different dude. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/09/trump-plane-crash-california-00173487
Tl;Dr Trump confused two different black politicians, and the "conversation" about Harris never happened (with either).

I see, thanks. I was going with this article.
Ya, my bad, I should have cited the article I pulled the quote from.
cheers,
