Group of Men at Harrisburg Barbershop Question Kamala Harris’s Racial Identity, Surprising CNN

Harris has often identified as Indian-American throughout her political career and even during her campaign for vice president, which has led to skepticism about her racial identity.

In a recent appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists conference, former President Donald Trump didn’t shy away from addressing these questions. He engaged in a heated exchange with ABC reporter Rachel Scott, stating:

“I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black.”

Despite the mainstream media’s portrayal of Harris as a Black American figure, a recent visit to a barbershop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania revealed that many local Black men remain unconvinced.

When asked about their views on Harris, the response was overwhelmingly clear:

‘Kamala ain’t black.’

A CNN reporter noted that callers on an XM radio program quickly dismissed the opinions of the barbershop patrons. The reporter quoted one of the callers saying:

“When I played that audio on XM radio program on Thursday, many callers who self-identified as African-American were quick to tell me that those men were the exception, not the rule. Some described them as low information voters, no different than you’d find among Whites.”
