Black leaders say Zohran Mamdani still not impressing voters, blast use of ‘African American’ as a ‘cover’: ‘He owes us an apology’
New York Post ^ | August 21, 2025 | Chadwick Moore

An infantilizing charlatan and quack—who owes a huge apology for attempting to pass himself off as African American.

That’s what black leaders are calling Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani who, despite his airs of being “the great, brown hope,” continues to flounder with demographics his entire campaign is supposed to help.

Insiders say black voters are not warming up to the Democratic socialist since roundly rejecting him in June’s primary.

“He owes us an apology, for the community. How dare he?” Chantel Wright, a 59-year-old Harlem resident, bishop, and educator, told the Post in an impassioned interview.

Wright was referring to news last month that Mamdani – who is of Indian ancestry, but born in Uganda – lied on his application to Columbia University to get favored admissions treatment, checking off the “black or African American” and “Asian” boxes on his 2009 Columbia University application regarding his race. She, like many black New Yorkers, hasn’t forgotten.

“When people use the cover of being African American—that is the most egregious, unacceptable, fraudulent, disingenuous action against our community I can even fathom.

“You don’t’ get to use the title of African American when it’s convenient for you.

“Whose seat did he take at that university? He took another black person’s seat. That could have been a first generation or second generation that was able to go to college,” Wright, a staunch supporter of Mayor Eric Adams, wonders.

“We don’t trust him.”

A Marist poll found that only eight percent of black New Yorkers support Mamdani–and it doesn’t seem to be improving.

“African American” is such a stupid term. Neither African or American are a race.

Jesse Jackson's term was African-American.

I remember when he announced during one of his 1980s presidential campaigns that black was out, African-American was in.

This article also credits Jackson: Where did the term "African-American" come from?

You’re right.

New Yorkers were dumb enough to vote for Dinkins and the rest. Now they’re topping it.

Funny that Mamdani is going to have to get acting voice coach lessons and try to sound black at rallies now. Hollywood or TV “dialect coach.”

A Kumpala, Uganda accent. His parents would have had Indian accents.

Or a simple phony ghetto one like Jasmine who attended expensive Catholic private schools all her early years and then law school. Probably learned her phony accent from watching black tv shows and Barbershop. Best ones would be from the Spike Lee movie Bamboozled.

He has nothing to apologize for.
That is the very least of what you should be worried about, anyway. Get your head out of the bucket!

When it got really bad with Beame, New Yorkers chose Koch.

When it got really bad with Dinkins, New Yorkers chose Giuliani.

Whenever it gets really bad, New Yorkers wise up. Then, after some goods times, they forget again.

All true.

But the past is not prologue.

“You don’t[’] get to use the title of African American when it’s convenient for you.

Funny that no one is calling him a racist.

Yet refuse to use someone's "preferred pronouns," and all Hell breaks loose!
