The Right Questions Kamala Harris’ Blackness — Yet as Long as She Holds Any Power She’ll Always Be Too Black for Them

…the realization that mixed race people do in fact exist. In any case, it’s 2024 and race science is back in fashion, so let’s grab our calipers and do some skull-measuring! MAGA isn’t just ready to make America great again and again, it’s ready to lend a hand when it comes to the determination of who is or isn’t Black. And I for one am inclined to assume that right-wingers with no understanding of the history of race, racism, race science, or rac…

Sheldon Adelson’s Long Game

…ey on American Jewish attitudes. His money isn’t about 2016 or even 2020 or 2024, it’s about staving off the shifting views of American Jews about Israel, or at least constraining political dialogue about it. Citizens United enabled Adelson to pour as much of his money as he wants into influencing elections, but that’s really a misnomer.
