Perhaps he doesn’t. However he did choose to go public with this so it’s unsurprising he’s being asked to back up his assertions, especially given what’s come to light so far doesn’t corroborate them.

Re: 2020 Election
I'm a bit fed up with you over this Boiler. You are making an unworthy scurrilous implication here by using a small part of her possible anecdotal paternal bloodline and ancestry.
The woman is black. She identifies as black.
Please publish the genealogy and family tree here together with the citations and proven sources + & even better the dna links , or stop with the innuendoes.
Bah! Does my head in does this type of leap and assumption & I write that as someone whose serious hobby is genealogy.

I wasn't debating the value of the above proposals, I was trying to make a point about the extremely blatant vote-buying proposals that always fly around during primary season.
Regardless, I'm resistant to being dragged into a discussion where I'll never convince anyone that they are incorrect and no one will ever convince me that my opinions are incorrect.

WTF
Which according to the article is now AOK after a Supreme Court Decision !

What blog or social media platform is that from? The pictured folks aren't her parents.

Re: 2020 Election
Reminds me of the photo - also posted on BE - that was purportedly Pelosi's walled mansion. That, again, was completely fake. But in the age of social media, authenticity doesn't seem to matter - I've seen that Pelosi picture in many places and the claim that it's her house inevitably lives on.

Anyone who is dumb enough not to consider the origins of black Jamaicans is not going to do the legwork of checking what her parents actually look like.

I am getting really tired of 'race' being such a thing in this country. I guess it's me displaying 'white privilege' or whatever the white apologists will call it, but the chip on the shoulder that so many people of color seem to have is really quite grating.
Can we not just move on already?

Re: 2020 Election
Latest is that AOC called out Pelosi for being racist. And so it goes on.

Initially she believed Ms Pelosi’s comments were an attempt to keep the progressive wing at arms length, said Ms Ocasio-Cortez. She added: “But the persistent singling out….it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful – the explicit singling out of newly elected women of colour.”
At her weekly press conference on Thursday, Ms Pelosi, 79, a white liberal from California, was asked about her relationship with Ms Ocasio-Cortez, and other progressives such as Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley – nicknamed by some as ‘The Squad’ – who were first elected in the 2018 midterm elections and been outspoken on a number of issues.
“They took offence because I addressed, at the request of my members, an offensive tweet that came out of one of the members’ offices that referenced our Blue Dogs and our New Dems essentially as segregationists,” said Ms Pelosi said. “Our members took offence at that. I addressed that. How they’re interpreting and carrying it to another place is up to them.”
