A young girl, obviously indoctrinated by leftist school teachers, asks a question.

Good for the astronaut.

Honestly though he looks to be maybe one eighth African ancestry. Does that even count as a “person of color”? Looks (and talks) more white than anything.

A family member, or even worse, a press person forced her to ask that question.

Pretty much any of the black astronauts will tell you the same thing, they weren’t out to make a historical point.

I liked Bessent's answer.....

How does it feel to be the highest ranking gay cabinet member?

I would like to think I am the most qualified to be the secretary of the treasury.....who also happens to be gay.

Certainly influenced by the indoctrination and it's not new. This would be the same question a liberal news reporter would ask, it's a juvenile and insulting question to ask. I am 99% positive Victor Glover did not think about being the first person of "color" to fly around the moon. Victor Glover was probably being amazed by flying around the moon and his emotions we will probably never understand, but bet it wasn't about the color of his skin.

This is what an answer from a person who has spent their life serving a purpose larger than self sounds like.

From any race.

Right there he showed that thinking about race drags you down.

Thats a lesson for people no matter if they are white, black, Asian, Hispanic whatever.

You can't be the best if you think there's something good or bad about your skin color.

I hope many young people take his advice.

Race only drags people down.

"But wasn't it great knowing he personally had beaten back 400 yrs of oppression and Euro colonialism ?"


Africa will never enter the space age with that grievance mentality.

Did you call Kama asian or black. Did either count as a woman of color?
