A dose of ice cream politics so shrouded in secrecy and deception that it may give audiences back pain merely seeing Ali holding an ice cream cone filled with Ben & Jerry’s “Americone Dream” ice cream, apparently one of Ali’s favorite flavors.
Now on a more serious note, the following is some quoted content from India’s award-winning broadcast journalist, Barkha Dutt. Under CNN’s news headline, “A Rupture in the U.S.-India Relationship,” she stated on Fareed Zakaria’s GPS, 8/10/25, that Trump is “incendiary,” an “infidel,” and a “schoolyard bully.” The onslaught of insults aimed at Trump appears to arise from the Trump Administration raising tariffs on India from 25% to 50% for acquiring Russian oil.
Dutt further lashes out and criticizes the Trump Administration for trying to influence India’s foreign policy decisions. In part she stated verbatim, “And I think (uh) if you ask the person on the street in India, what do you take away from all this? The answer you get is, ‘Don’t come to America!’ They have shown you that they’re not in, on your side. They’re not in your camp. And this is perhaps an early warning to have many more sort of murky lateral outreaches that moving closer to the United States of America especially given Trump’s recent pivot to Pakistan.” Dutt also expressed her averseness about Trump referring to India’s economy as a “dead economy.”
Pursuant to Ms. Dutt’s statement about South Asians not wanting to come to America—I don’t believe there’d be any huge influx of Indians taking their American citizen kids out of American schools and leaving their plush homes, fancy cars, and upper-middle-class lifestyles to accept any lower standard of living. Regardless of any new country they’d possibly migrate to. I’m just being candid here.
To America’s mainstream media: Why does Ali Velshi focus so much on African American politics? There are many Black journalists with the skill sets to address those issues. Perhaps your networks have already fired many of them. Particularly those anchors that tried so hard to remain focused on topics that were of considerable interest to America’s Black communities. However, your networks weren’t having it, and eventually those anchors were systematically terminated from your studios. Personally, I’d be elated to see Velshi speak more on issues that derive from the deep-seated politics of India. Our Indian brothers and sisters and their struggles (i.e., the poor, the wealthy, India’s ancient caste system, internal racism, colorism, etc.).
