What I want to know is how come Trump didn't get all mad when Ann Coulter said "Our blacks are better than theirs (liberals)." Or he's even said something along the lines of he's a representative of the black community. I saw on Colbert or Stewart, I think Colbert, showing the conservatives railing Stewart for being "racist" and included Rush Limbaugh - then they showed all the shit that could be perceived as racist he's done.

But when I heard Coulter say "our blacks are better than liberals blacks" I couldn't believe it. I mean seriously, is this fifth grade? "I know you are but what am I?"

Well, not quite. Technically, the terms "White American" and "Black American/African American" are ethnicities. As we all know, ethnicity and race are not synonymous.
For example, a Latino can be racially white, black, or whatever; but their ethnicity is Latino. Kazakhs can look be as white as a European or as Asian as a Chinese person, but ethnically, they're Kazakhs.
Converse examples are true as well. For all I know, you can be "German," Shrike could be "Irish," and WildJokers could be "Polish," and as far as I know, I'm just a WASP (but without the "P" since I'm atheist). But, culturally - there's really no difference between us. We're white, we're in America, we eat similar foods, and we listen to genres of music that originated in the US - there's nothing German or Irish about us.
This brings me to the overall point - seeing as how ethnicity can operate independently of race, being of a particular race is not a pre-requisite to be a part of an ethnicity.
Cain might be racially black, but he's ethnically white.
That is just awesome. You start with a flawed premise and then just roll with it getting the facts wrong from that point forward. White and black are racial terms not ethnic. You MEANT hispanic since latino only refers to hispanic males. Europeans can be any race. Chinese persons can also be any race. You are also wrong that culturally there is no difference between you and other white people. What you mean is racially you are similar but culturally you are different. Just because YOU don't consider yourself part of your ethnic culture, doesn't mean they don't. Maybe Cain is ethnically black and the people YOU consider black in your little racist world are the ones that "act white." It is unbelieveable how racist you are. You should get some help.
