‘To Me, No’: Black Guys At Pennsylvania Barbershop Tell Reporter Kamala Harris Isn’t Black

A group of black men at a Pennsylvania barbershop said that they do not consider Vice President Kamala Harris to be black in a clip aired by CNN on Saturday.

Former President Donald Trump suggested during his Wednesday appearance at a National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) event in Chicago that Harris only recently started to identify as black rather than Indian. Several black men at a barbershop in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, told local CBS affiliate reporter Joel Smith that they do not think Harris is black.

“Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?” Smith asked the men.

“Greg, hold on Greg. Is Kamala black, yes or no?” one of the men responded.

The other man responded he would “let her speak on that, but to me, no.”

The man who asked whether Harris is black then put the question to the other men sitting in the barbershop.

“I share that same view,” another responded.

“I heard she wasn’t,” said the next man to answer the question. “I heard she’s half black and half Asian.”

Harris’ father, who hails from Jamaica, is black, while her mother is Indian, according to CBS News.
