'Is she Black?': Trump accuses Harris of faking her racial identity

Donald Trump took aim at Democratic opponent Kamala Harris' racial identity on Wednesday during a controversial appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists conference.

"Now she wants to be known as Black," Trumps said.

she ran as the first Indian senator in 2016 and was proud of it.

No Kamala Harris is not black and it's offensive that she's cosplaying for our votes. Both of her parents are Indians. One just happened to come from Jamacia

[Alexandria.Washington]

Kamala is 75% Indian and 25% Irish. That does NOT equal “Black American” or “Aboriginal Black Indigenous American”. Our race, culture, heritage and community, “Aboriginal Black Indigenous American” is NOT A JOKE! You cannot just decide to become a member of the “Aboriginal Black Indigenous American” race, culture, heritage and community because it BENEFITS you! Where were you “imposters” when OUR ANCESTORS were being beaten, hung, enslaved, burned, starved, shipped, jailed, discriminated against, watered down with hoses, kicked, punched, tazed, killed, separated, assaulted, etc., for hundreds of years and still currently in many instances!

Please DON’T misappropriate the “Aboriginal Black Indigenous American” race, culture, heritage or community for our powerful “Black Vote”!. Including Miss Indian American Kamala - the newest Kardashian/Jenner member.

Trump was always white, then just happened to turn orange.

[timkincade]

She is English, Jamaican , Indian, half Indian. Quarter English , ,Quarter Jamaican.

[myancestorsareme]

No she's not a Black American. She's an Indian American who's mother is listed as Caucasian. She's cosplaying for votes

[desmondkwang]

Yes, the U.S. Census Bureau, federal government, and most state governments classify Indians as Asian. The Census Bureau defines Asian as someone who has origins in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, or the Far East. This includes India, Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

In 2020, Deepak Puri and Shareen Punian hosted a fund raiser for Harris touting that she was Indian with an Indian Mother. Harris accepted those funds.

Kamla Harris was raised by an Indian mother for most of her life. Her Jamaican father and mother separated when she was 7 years old and it does not look like she had any contact with her father after the divorce. She had visited India every two years during her childhood and had more exposure to her mother's side in Chennai, India. I would consider her as more Indian than black but for electoral advantage, she took a smart mover to identify with blacks, is it hypocrisy? I don't think so. Thnk about affirmative action in college admissions.

[bigsurge]

She is Indian her father is Indian born in Jamaica there is allot of Indian people born in Jamaica look it up do your research

[glocast]

Its crazy bc all this time trump says he a wht person then all his election he was a wht person then today he made a turn and now he's a tangerine 🍊 person

[AllertonSlayden]

I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in life until $75, 000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to

[Hisloyalservantslistenlovec]

Her own father stated that he is Irish and Indian and that her mother was Indian.

[stevensiwinski]

Why is it so difficult for some people to comprehend that some people are of more than one race? Her father is a black Jamaican, her mother is an Indian. Simple math really.

[muddlasvegas]

If she’s so black, why wasn’t she there there with President Trump?

[brettcross]

Go trump you da man ! Trump tellin the truth

[FreddyLittt]

To be honest, you can look at her features and tell shes not black, shes mix but i dont think it even matters what she is

[litttoe]

DEI isn't the only thing that's important. It's important, yes, but to actually accept people as people you have to be able to look past the race factor and at the character. That's why I'm voting for Cornel West who is also black but not a sellout to AIPAC.

[EJLegionHonor]

No, Kamala is Indian heritage, not black. Both of her parents are Indian
