That seems have gone quiet of late

“The penchant for spouting word salad; the slightly awkward misplaced laughter; the courting of chat show hosts; the celebrity iPhone moments; the loathing of Donald Trump; the unfortunate bullying allegations.
And the rhetoric! Both Meghan and Kamala spout this sort of pseudo-spiritual psychobabble that sounds perfectly progressive but doesn’t always make that much sense.”

In those respects, 2 peas in a pod.

They have nothing in common except, they are both mixed race and come from California. Why are they being put together. You tell me. I didn't do it, Camilla Tomingley did and I expanded on it. Why do you think she went there. And, I'm asking you. Give me an opinion.

The Penchant for spouting word salad etc is garbage. There are hundreds of people CT could have said that about why did she pick another African American women who polarises the community

Very disappointed that so many in this thread are asking basic questions or making basic points.

Well that is your opinion, which is fine. I’ve already said IMO I think they have definite similarities. As does Nana Akua and some others I’ve seen on youtube).
Camilla T went there, I would think, because both women guarantee clicks; even more so paired together and she has to come up with something for her latest column. Besides, she isn’t a fan of either of them, I think. (There are white people she doesn’t like also.)
Column sorted.
Why does the colour of their skin even matter?

I had to look up Nana Akua. Thats the GB TV presenter. So, two GB news presenters have made this comparison and you're looking at me and asking how I'm making the connection? Two people who work for the same company have made the connection not me.

Why does their skin colour matter. Ask the two GB news presenters or give it a little thought and you'll figure it out.

How does the dreadfulCamilla Tominley put these two mixed race African American women together. I wonder what it is shes focused on.

…I think that’s it though… for me you’ve explained it yourself how they’ve been compared…she’s a dreadful woman…it may be that she’s so limited as to think, oh they’re both mixed heritage parents so they’re a good comparison and it may be that basic, I don’t know…this is the lady who called Virginia Giuffre a prostitute and described her as ‘being in the game’ at 17yrs old when she was sex trafficked as a child…dreadful woman….

[Ammi]

…I don’t know much about Kamala’s politics, I have to say…but visually and in her personality/persona that we see in public appearances etc…?…she’s just refreshingly vibrant…she has a great smile……

[Ammi]

…Charli XCX has said that ‘Kamala is Brat’…that’s a good thing, right…?…/a compliment…?….and she’s also had supportive words from Beyoncé and Chappell Roan…

Yep, it's a good thing It's a social phenomenon that I just don't understand, but apparently she has a way of describing things, and they now have a meme generator in a specific font for stuff in her style

They're getting behind her. Even the progressives.

There is a hefty meme/TikTok campaign gathering in Kamala-support which will definitely be playing well in rallying 20-somethings.

The comparison between Harris and Meghan works only if we take very specific aspects of Kamala personality. Lets go thru them.

“The penchant for spouting word salad; the slightly awkward misplaced laughter; the courting of chat show hosts; the celebrity iPhone moments; the loathing of Donald Trump; the unfortunate bullying allegations.
And the rhetoric! Both Meghan and Kamala spout this sort of pseudo-spiritual psychobabble that sounds perfectly progressive but doesn’t always make that much sense.”

The word salad- Gareth Southgate. WHy not
Courting chat shows - Amy Klobuchar. She loves going on Seth Myers show
The iPhone moments - Taylor Swift
Hatred of Trump - Taylor Swift again.
Bullying accusations - Ellen Degeneres
The rhetoric - Kari Lake but its not progressive.

The point I've been trying to make in this thread. Yes, if we put together a number of very specific and unpleasant traits then VP Harris and Meghan have some things in common but if we stand back look at them as individuals they have nothing in common except the obvious.

…yeah I totally understand what you’re saying…I’m not familiar enough with Kamala Harris to have seen those personality traits if they can be attributed but they are quite widely applied to many, I would say…and they are specifically things that we would attach to personality traits only, not to any heritage …so hmmmmm, why then those two being compared specifically….

Different people are named for each likeness. What ONE individual with all of those traits could replace Meghan in the article? I personally can’t think of any.
Apart from that:
Kamala is running for President, Meghan has apparently expressed a desire to one day run for President (haha), or at least become seriously involved in US politics.
They have expressed support for each other more than once in the past.

But no, the one and only link is their skin colour. Really? Why does the mind zoom in on race?

Stick to copy and pasting. You show us something you don't want to when you post your own opinions.

What am I on about? You've been on this forum for well over a decade posting about race and its clear, to me, that you haven't listened or taken on board a word anyone has said to you. That's what you're revealing when you post your own words.

Asian-Jamaican-American. Unless you're trolling, all I can say is - what the actual **** mate. Astonishing

[GiRTh]

Let me correct myself cuz its more like 15 years. Just dreadful.

DEI hire is a racist trope, everyone knows it, LT knows it. I can see many similarities to JD Vance

DEI is when you give people who aren't qualified opportunities they
don't deserve and then silence anyone who notices.

listen LT, i will make this very clear so you understand. I won't let you get away with your racist **** unchallenged anymore. Enough is enough. If the mods are ok with the disgusting stuff you post, I am not. If that leads to me being banned, so be it, make it permanent.

It's very important to understand that DEI is right, moral and good. Anyone
who disagrees with DEI is wrong, immoral and bad.

Also, DEI isn't happening. Anyone who says it is happening is wrong, immoral
and bad. Because DEI is good. And also not happening.

You know DEI is being used as a racist trope. You echo racist tropes all over this forum. Do you know what that makes YOU?

Where do you get this stuff from? I'd guess that a month ago you didnt even know what the term meant, now you have a detailed definition that I'm sure I wont find in the dictionary or on Wikipedia, but only on the darker side of the internet. I'd be a bit more mindful of those sites, if I were you.

Ooh I have some learning to share on this topic Bots!

1) Whether the mods are OK with it behinfmd the scenes or not I don't know, but I do know they won't do anything about it no matter how often it's called to their attention

Hiwever

On the plus side

2) The same applies to calling it out, so I wouldn't worry about doing so and would in fact encourage everyone to do it as loudly and rudely as possible.

Power to the people.
