Trump got beat up by the media for saying essentially what you said. I don't think the issue with Harris is that she is biracial. Most African Americans are biracial to some degree.

On the other hand, if someone is 100% Nigerian, born and raised overseas, educated in London with a PhD from a prestigious London university, and is working as a Professor at an Ivy league school in the Northeast, they may be more genetically African, than most African Americans, but they won't be able to represent them or connect to their experiences.

The issue surrounds what some black leaders have described as having African DNA versus being "black". They define being "black" as being able to trace your ancestors back to slavery and living through the Jim Crow era. To be able to relate to family history, traditions, and culture that experience gave rise to. In that sense, "being black" is an ethnicity in which skin color plays a role, but experience is essential.

This increasing diversity and identity among African Americans are giving rise to many different identity groups among African Americans. So, depending on how one defines "being black", Kamala Harris may not "be black", even if she identifies as African American.

In one respect, Harris is a fraud. You have to be you and not pretend you are someone else. Convincing voters that you understand them by virtue of a common skin color is simply a lie. I can't even understand my progressive liberal brother and we are both white and raised in the same home and even share some traditions, but we have very different values.

Harris should focus on who she is, what her values are, demonstrate her commitment to those values as expressed through her voting record and let the chips fall where they fall. Instead at every talk, she tells people I am just like you... and every honest person listening... thinks... no you are not.
