Being completely honest here, it sounded like she pronounced it the same as they did or so close it is very hard to tell a difference. Also it sounded like she pronounced like I've heard pretty much every one pronounce it. Maybe I need to get me hearing checked.

Didn’t Kamala pronounce her name Ka-mAH-la until the 2020 election?

I remember something about all of the sudden being pronounce KA-ma-la so she could start calling other people racist.

I don’t know that it’s racist as much as xenophobic. It’s clearly meant to mark him as an outsider or different. I don’t necessarily see the racism aspect of it though.

One could say it’s similar to calling someone WEIRD.

To point out that he’s a pro Islamic terrorist Muslim. Pretty important to highlight that fact.

Only black people can show disrespect. Also, she wasn’t showing disrespect.

These idiots gotta understand something. Most of us only knew of one Kamala growing up and it was this magnificent beast right here



That is the way we always heard it pronounced and it’s stuck in our brain. Deal with it.

One would be correct about that. I would say there is a difference in calling someone weird for their name, which they have no control over, vs their actions which they do. At any rate, neither is racist.

My female Indian friend says it has more than one pronunciation. There is also a video of Kamala saying her own name differently in the past.


These people love race-baiting.

Ithink someone should make one of those compilations where the media did the exact same thing they are ripping conservatives for now.

In this case, the difference is poppycock. The congresswoman wasn’t making a deal of the pronounciation, she was trying to convey a point and they completely shut her down over a nuance. Screw these people.

The main thing is she put the emphasis on the first syllable and they are demanding she emphasize the second.

Trump did this because of the negative connection to Saddam Hussein.

Democrat racists will always see racism in everything, tho.

It's weird that yall spend all this time talking about how Trump isn't racist and then when you are confronted with him being explicitly racist you're like "Well yeah he is racist sometimes teehee"
