A video came out yesterday showing black men in a barbershop suggesting that Kamala Harris isn’t really black. Of course CNN’s Michael Smerconish says they aren’t the rule, but the exception.
Watch:
Here’s more from the New York Post:
The barbershop was buzzing with controversy.
A viral video clip shows multiple black men in a Dauphin County, Pennsylvania barbershop openly questioning whether Vice President Kamala Harris is “black.”
Harris, 59, who is biracial — the daughter of a Jamaican-American father and an Indian-American mother, has been subject to attacks about her race. Last week Trump questioned her racial identity and suggested that she only recently started identifying as black.
The clip, from a local CBS affiliate, starts with reporter Joel Smith asking, “Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?”
One of the men promptly spoke up and quizzed his peers, asking them, “Is Kamala black, yes or no?”
A man next to him, bluntly replied that he’d “let her speak on that, but to me, no.”
“I share that same view,” another man in the group said.
“I heard she wasn’t,” a fourth man explained. “I heard she’s half black and half Asian.”
CNN host Michael Smerconish aired a clip of that exchange on his Saturday program and told viewers that he previously played the segment on his radio program and black callers described the men as “low information voters.”
I don’t think this view is as uncommon as Smerconish would want us to believe and Trump knows this, which is why he made the comment the other day about Kamala wanting to be perceived as Indian before and now as Black.
