Apparently the state of “Palestine” is now in Africa. Since it is a fictional construct anyway, it can be anywhere Rashida Tlaib wants it to be. But of course what this is really all about is claiming for herself coveted victim status, which Muslim groups in the U.S. have been doing assiduously for years.

my wife is a wild mix of near- and middle east, north African (50%) and Kenian (10%) genes and she had to tick White on the census. I think Tlaib and Occacionally Uses Her Cortex, Talcum X, and all those fake Catholic Leftards in politics will rattle normal Democrat voters badly. Half will declare themselves an inferior race and the other has had enough of Leftardism. My neighbour started a master in divinity (Eastern Catholic) and has a BLM sign in front of his house. He will have to choose between the Church and Marxism-Leninism.
Eur says
Hello, I am European and I do not understand the classification that they make in the United States with the skin color or ethnic origin of the people. Who is white for you and why should that appear in a census? I do not understand. I am Spanish, my sister is blonde and I have brown hair, I have always thought that I am white but obviously I am not Scandinavian ,irish or Slavic or Germanic or Anglo-Saxon but I have a clearer complexion than the average Italian … I really don’t understand that type of classification . It amuses me that for an Anglo-Saxon I am not entirely white, it is very funny. What are they for? Probably for positive discrimination and the damned victimist quotas. A person half Anglo Saxon half black according to those censuses, is black? A Spaniiard should tick Hispanic but not white? Ahahahah is very funny ..a nonsense
Keith O says
Eur, I can see the stupidity in the situation.
The first time I heard someone describe themselves as “African American”, I immediately thought,,, when did you emigrate?
Now of course,they have Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (which I can understand), Asian Americans, but if you describe yourself as “white American” your a racist! go figure.
And it’s OK for black Americans to use the “N” word to describe each other, but if someone else does it??? That’s right,,your a racist.
Jean says
Hi guys. Obviously, its all for numbers. Its a way for them to determine “white priviledge” just because the parents made better choices. I am Spanish, Polish, and Romani gypsy ( Hungarian)…i am still waiting on a box to tick for that…just sayin…
gravenimage says
You can choose more than one category of race in the US Census, including writing in one or more categories under “Other” if they are not offered.
DK says
Of course if you’re white and you use the n-word it’s racist white people created the word to demean black people only we took the word and use it as a term of endearment….Labeling ones self as a white American DOES NOT lead black Americans to think said white American is racist…..
LB says
“Labeling ones self as a white American DOES NOT lead black Americans to think said white American is racist”
@DK Really? So what you’re saying is that it’s okay to be white, correct? Well then, go ahead and say that to any leftist (black or white, doesn’t matter) and see what happens. If you wish to spare yourself the effort, try looking up that line on youtube. The results might not be what you expected.

So, shouldn’t we like wait
Till after the pandemic to do the census?
Jedothek says
As long as we’re complaining, I thought it used to be optional to state one’s race on application forms. I found recently that one form WOULDN’T ACCEPT the race field not filled in, I had to pick a race. But I sent an indignant letter to the company boss saying I resented being drawn into this racial madness.
on another form there was a field a marked “Voluntary Self-identification,” but again, you had to fill it in anyway.

curious george, the Census was already mailed out in April.
Westman says
I get a laugh about “white privilege” every time I go to the beach and see people, by use of Old Sol, trying to become anything but white. BLM, (which also is the acronym for Bureau Of Land Management), speaks as if light colored folks see sunburned/cancerous skin as some superior advantage.
gravenimage says
I’m not a big fan of sun bathing, because it is not all that healthy–but white people with tans are just white people with tans–they are not actually somehow changing their race.
LB says
@gravenimage So why are Latinos their own race in the US? By all accounts they are Spanish with a tan. Would you call Spaniards living in Spain “Latino”? I never understood that. And I’ve seen numerous cases where some “Latinos” are whiter than whites themselves, so how does that work? Just because they are native Spanish speakers that makes them a different race? I’m genuinely curious about this.
gravenimage says
LB, Latinos–Hispanics–are typically a mix of Spanish and native “Indios” (and sometime Blacks in places like the Dominican Republic and Central America) and are originally from Latin America. Whether they should be considered a separate race is another matter.
And yes–Hispanics range all the way from White to Brown to Black. They often have more in common linguistically than ethnically.
Arthur says
the white people in the USA are then EuroAmericans
Erin says
No, we are referred to as Anglo-Saxon
Phil Copson says
Just as a point of logic, can somebody explain why being being half-Black automatically makes you “Black”, but being half-White doesn’t make you “White” ?
The race-relations industry are determined to co-opt anyone with any percentage of mixed-race background as being “Black” – in effect, telling them that they are not free individuals, but “belong” in a pre-selected Identity Politics box, and must think, behave, and vote as the Left tell them.
Obama would never have got a fraction of the media attention/adulation he received had he been 100% white rather than a trifling 50% white – and is invariably referred to as being “America’s first Black President”.
Imagine the synthetic outrage , moral posturing, and accusations of “White Supremacy” were a conservative politician ever to refer to Obama accurately as “America’s first half-Black President” – or even as “America’s first half-White President” – but both are truer than the narrative.
Logically, Obama could have been a great unifier, but his mixed background of white, Christian, American / black, muslim, Kenyan – when multiplied by the violent hard-Left influences of his formative years, produced a toxic blend of entitlement, ruthlessness, contempt, and deceit: To paraphrase Thomas Sowell, “Community organisers don’t organise communities…”
(Quote: “What does a community organizer do? What he does not do is organize a community. What he organizes are the resentments and paranoia within a community, directing those feelings against other communities, from whom either benefits or revenge are to be gotten, using whatever rhetoric or tactics will accomplish that purpose.
To think that someone who has spent years promoting grievance and polarization was going to bring us all together as president is a triumph of wishful thinking over reality.”)
The revelations of the past weeks, that the campaign against General Michael Flynn – (to prevent him from influencing Trump to thwart Obama’s ambitions of making Iran a nuclear power endangering Israel’s existence, and from giving accurate assessments of the terrorist threats that Obama sought to hide) – was not just the work of rabid Clinton loyalists within the FBI acting on their own initiative, but was orchestrated by Obama himself, lead inevitably to the conclusion that many of those at the very top of America’s security services have been suborned, and were/are knowingly working to empower foreign governments at the expense of America and the Free World.
Phil Copson says
Re-reading that, it would be more accurate to say that Obama’s background was “white, Communist, anti-American” rather than “white, Christian, American”, and secondly – “the terrorist threats that Obama “sought to finance via Iran”….”
Linda says

Phil Copson says,
“Just as a point of logic, can somebody explain why being being half-Black automatically makes you “Black”, but being half-White doesn’t make you “White” ?
It isn’t logical, Phil. It’s political power.
It would make an interesting legal point if a 50% Black / 50% White person tried to claim that he/she were “White” on official US government IDs, etc.

True, James.
Sonny Cole says

that confuses me too, my mother is from Spain, to most we are not considered Latino because supposedly Latinos are from south America, so I am considered white.
GreekEmpress says
My Armenian ancestors were from the Caucuses. Does that make me a bona fide Caucasian? ?
John Lambert says
Per the US census Pakestinians are white.
Erin says
You can actually mark all ethnicities that apply to you on our U.S. census. i.e. Hispanic, Native-American & Caucasian w/ the latter meaning white & your nation of origin (my family migrated from Germany centuries ago but I just put my origin as American since we’ve been here several generations). This is done w/ the alleged intent & purpose to be certain all groups are accounted for & fairly represented in governmental affairs. Such as creating Congressional Representative voting districts that should produce an elected official that matches said districts ethnic majority population.
gbdz_2 says
According to Identity Politics you can choose your gender so why not skin melanin as well. As far as I understood, the trick is in knowing the key words and repeating them aloud with a straight face in public, as if you were serious. Mantras matter.
If you are Woke, you can pretty much pick your specifications.
If you are on the wrong side of the isle, you can be black as night and still called a white supremacist or worse.
This is how I have understood the (lack of) logic of the Oppression Olympics.
Enlighten me if I am wrong.
Linda says
Not good imo. BLM leaders have admitted they’re Marxists. Look it up. ?

Let’s see her AUTOSOMAL DNA ANALYSIS.
mortimer says
Tlaib may be the descendant of black sex slaves who were abducted by Muslim slave traders during the 1400-year-long Islamic slave trade in black Africa.
I’m sure she would be sooo proud of her slave-owning ancestors.
gravenimage says
I doubt it, Mortimer. Most African male slaves were castrated, and few children resulting from the rape of African slaves were allowed to live, even as slaves.
curious george says
According to Peter Hammond in his book, Slavery, Terrorism & Islam: the Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.
The mortality rate for slaves transported across the Atlantic was 10%. In the Atlantic slave trade, two out of three slaves were men, used for agricultural work.
The percentage of slaves dying in the Trans Saharan and East African slave trade was between 80 and 90%. The slaves destined for the Middle East, two out of three were woman, primarily for sexual exploitation as concubines, in harems, and for military service.
The children of slaves in the Americas numbered in the millions, very few descendants of the slaves that ended up in the Middle East survived.
Approximately 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic, (95% of which went to Central and South America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions.) Only 5% went to the USA.
However, at least 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East. At least 80% of those captured by Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from the 14 centuries of Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been over 112 million. When added to the number of those sold in the slave markets, the total number of African victims of the Trans Saharan and East African slave trade could be significantly higher than 140 million.
gravenimage says
All true, curious george. As bad as slavery was in the United States, it was far worse elsewhere–the hideous Muslim world most of all.

Hey guys, I’m new to all this. I’m glad I managed to find some truth on the web. I simply cannot believe how much things are censored from us & the leftist leftards and their doings and sayings . I genuinely was so naive about how much was going on in the world and especially over in the USA. I’m Scottish. Consider myself white British in the census the give to us. It’s a trick to find out whether you are a nationalist and leftard and support independence or not!! I didn’t realise the power of these people in the USA, they have the power to reach Glasgow for our statues to be defaced and centopaths !! Commemorating our dead war heroes !! I’m so angry about BLM , I knew there was more to it than black lives matters, thankfully I’m getting the truth from folks like uz. Take care people, god bless

tim gallagher says
I look at all this stuff and the main impression I get is that the main type of racism around these days is ferocious anti-white racism. It seems to be this overall hatred for western civilisation, which is something I simply don’t understand, because I believe very strongly that western civilisation (created by mainly white people) has created a very good way of life for most people. It has achieved great things. Of course, it’s got flaws, everything human does. These destructive scum getting around would, if they ever got power, create an appalling, far worse, society. I’m sick of all their crap. I don’t know if you get people in the USA and Europe who say that they are black or people of colour who, if they didn’t tell you that they were blacks, would seem to be white. In Australia, I quite often see people who claim that they are indigenous people, or Aborigines, ( people get extra welfare by identifying that way) when I think, what, if that person didn’t say that they identify as being black, I would say that they are a white person. I have been very surprised when I heard some of these people say that they were indigenous or Aboriginal people. To me, they just look like white people and I don’t get why they are claiming to have some disadvantage (except, of course, for the extra welfare). I think that they should just try to get on with life like most of us do, and life is pretty hard for most of us. I don’t know if this also happens in other countries or not, although I suppose the woman in this report is not what most people think of as African.

Rashida Tlaib was born to Palestinian immigrants in Detroit. She is 0% black American. Why can’t she work that out? If this is the kind of stuff she pours out, how can she deal with the more pressing issues of her community? Why vote her in again?

Not so long ago everybody wanted to be ‘Charlie’, if you remember the murderous terrorist attack against a magazine in Paris, France. Real people got killed, shot down with automatic rifle fire.
People reacted. They showed their support saying “Je suis Charlie”.
the other reaction was that nobody’s making fun about Islamists any longer. In fact, they came up with the bastard term ‘Islamophobic hate speech’ which, when properly applied, protects the dhimmis from getting too carried away with your freedom of expression.
Rashida Tlaib is not Charlie but in the same vein, she SAYS she is African-American.
She’s ‘being a Charlie’.
gravenimage says
Tlaib would *never* say “Je Suis Charlie”–that would mean she was against Jihad terror and the shutting down of freedom of speech.

Patrick B. Ludwig says
Why is the USofA even registering “race” in the census or multiple other registration forms.
I am European, of Jewish and non Jewish stock, with some Russian some North African and some Caucasian mixed in to boot (from the Caucasus, not the fake US definition).
And I would NEVER tolerate, let alone comply with a tick-box asking for my “race” or my religion (confirmed atheist btw.).
Any such registrations are far too near to the infamous “J” stamp (Jude, Jew) stamp in passports to be even remotely acceptable.
Is the USofA really still so close to the third reich?
gravenimage says
There is indeed a lot of idiocy surrounding race in America, and sometimes it seems like more all the time.
That being said, the idea that the US government is like Nazi Germany targeting Jews is nothing but sickening false calumny.
By the way, “Jewish” is not even a category on the Census, unless one decides to specifically write it in.
And what does Patrick B. Ludwig mean by “Is the USofA really still so close to the third reich”? Doesn’t he know that the United States, along with the rest of the Allies, *defeated* Fascism and liberated the death camps during WWII? Or does he just hope that we don’t know this?
