Black New York isn’t buying it.
A slew of black Big Apple residents fumed Friday over mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s claim on an Ivy League college application that he is African American — with them raging the socialist pol is a “fraud” and “trickster.”
“He’s just trying to get over,” an 86-year-old Harlem resident, identifying herself only as Marjorie, said of Mamdani, a socialist of Asian Indian descent.
“You can look at him and see he’s not” black, she said. “Absolutely not.
“I don’t like him. I didn’t like him from the first time I heard him. You can look at him and see he’s a trickster,” she said of the pol, who struggled mightily to make inroads among black voters at the Democratic primary-race polls last month, despite his stunning win.
Another longtime local who asked not to be identified seethed, “He’s a fraud.
“He’s a foreigner. He ain’t no African American,” the man said of Mamdani, who was born in Uganda but became a naturalized US citizen in 2018 and holds dual citizenship between the countries.
A Bronx resident named Joshua added, “He’s a liar. Point-blank, period.
“We don’t need a lying mayor or a mayor that says he’s black so he can get black people to vote for him.

Black New Yorkers Rage Over The Last Pork Chop.
Silly. The left makes up the cultural vocabulary the media tries to ram down our throats. He’s not THATt KIND of African American, so it doesn’t count. There’s some openings here, but nothing will likely result in a different winner in a four man contest. Two of the other guys need to put city before self. I’m really anxious to see some polling, now that the field is set
Of course he’s African American. He was born in Africa.
He graduated high school in 2010 but was not naturalized until 2018, so he was not an African American at the time of his Columbia University application.

Really interesting.
So Al Sharpton and Spike Lee are now totally outside the Barbershop/backyard cookout gathering crowd of black people in the US. With Mamdani expecting them to be subservient as they serve his needs as his humble subjects.
And the Dem Party expecting them to be grateful to be a voting bloc for them, recognized every 2-4 years only at election time. Then forgotten about.
RE:Of course he’s African American. He was born in Africa.
You are correct but he didn’t say so himself——
NY Post today:
Mamdani said while he doesn’t consider himself black or African American, he is “an American who was born in Africa” — and simply felt the other choices on the form didn’t fully address who he is. (for university application).
This probably refers to the Malcolm X statements on “you and I, 22 million African-Americans — that’s what we are — Africans who are in America. You’re nothing but Africans.”
——From Malcolm X who was born in Omaha, Nebraska.
Although Mamdani was not actually even born in the US. Got here at age 7.
From Africa as you said.
I guess he can claim to be African American, just like Elon Musk or Gary Player can, but he sure as hell ain't black.
This is the bull crap that will eventually catch the race hustlers in a trap of their own making. Nationality vs ethnicity. They won't know how to handle it.
Waa-a-y back, when I has a teenage Republican, we had some older black members of the club. One evening after the meeting, I was listening to these fellows talk about affirmative action. They said they were supposed to be the beneficiaries of affirmative action, but women and others were added, and were the real beneficiaries. They said if affirmative action had been focused on them, we might have achieved equality within a generation. But, no, affirmative action mostly benefited women, and mostly daughters of upper middle-class and wealthy parents.
Yet they vote RAT liars as their Mayor all the time. Giuliani was the last Republican Mayor. You can't count Bloomberg because he was a life-long Democrat. The only reason he ran as a Republican was because no Democrat would have been elected after Giuliani and 9/11. Before Giuliani, the last Republican elected as Mayor was John Lindsey in 1966. And even Lindsey became a Democrat in 1969. And the only reason he did that, was because he launched an unsuccessful Presidential race in 1972.
Cuomo’s over-the-hill campaign strategy was no match for Mamdani’s fresh approach and youth outreach, Dems say
That's rich. One fraud calling another fraud a fraud.
And the dead and the faked votes. He could still win.
And I heard all the campaign contributions came from one bundler.
African American doesn’t mean African American it means African American.
All the little white shts will vote for him anyway.
The nationality title Zohran uses should be the least of these New Yorkers’ concerns. Who cares about that, when most American blacks themselves have no direct relationship with Africa.
Zohran is correct. Since he was born in Uganda, now lives here, that, by definition makes him an African American. Get over that part, and start paying attention to the fact that this is a Muslim who has expressed his disregard for Jews and wants to abolish the police. That’s what they need to be discussing and debating.
He’s born in Africa and was an aspiring rapper... what more do these people want?
Cummmo and Silwa need to drop out
Adams could win with 60 percent of the vote.
