What a stupid question. Does he have a point?

Besides the fact that it doesn't matter....

 

[ABikerSailor]

Why should that matter? She's a free woman who lives in the 21st century, not some backwards idiot who thinks we should be back in the 18th.

Besides...............Steve King is an idiot. He's the same moron who boasted about the GOP leadership having lots of mendacity, and he apparently didn't know what the word meant. Mendacity incidentally means that you lie. Steve King (a GOP member) told everyone that the GOP is full of liars by bragging about their mendacity.

Rep Steve King admits that House GOP are liars

Well, okay, he didn't actually admit it intentionally , or in exactly those words. But last night, Steve King stood up in front of the House and said that House representatives should never ...

It’s a very legit point.
Time to differentiate between actual victims and democrat affirmative action contrivances.

I think we need to build a statue to Kommie just so we can tear it down.

Regardless of who her great-great grandfather was, she has lived her life with the stigma of black skin, and therefore, she knows what it's about. Who some old dead ancestor from long ago is, is a preposterous point. IMO.

Not stigma — benefit.
The hypocrisy being that her skin color in her case had no lineage to slavery. Slave ownership but not slavery. Just like Obama. Kenyans had very little involvement with slavery and those who did were traders and sellers of slaves.
Democrats don’t like logic.

Did she say she was a descendant of slaves? Is she waiting for a reparations check? I guess I don't understand what this whole thing is about.

All blacks in America are grouped into that slave legacy narrative by the DNC and Pravda. It doesn’t matter if they have slave or Jim Crow legacy or not.
Obama is a perfect example.
Democrats and their segregationist victims are never challenged on that point. Challengers are disparaged and ostracized as racist.

 

[Mac-7]

Yes

No. Not my guys.

Yes, your guys

you threw in your lot with the democrats and they are your responsibility from now on

Geez, you’re stupid. His father was Kenyan. Understand? That means his lineage is American white and Kenyan. Get it?

Some people like to believe that blacks in 2020 commit significantly higher rates of crime and fail academically because of slavery.

Nobody believes that except those who wish to believe it as a cover for other beliefs.
