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.”[snip] Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, had checked off the “black or African American” and “Asian” boxes on his 2009 Columbia University application regarding his race, the New York Times reported last week.

Dang! Is that all you need to do is check a box? Who knew?

He likely got a huge percentage of the black vote in the primary. It would be a shame if he lost a big chunk of it.

The more that Moron Mamdani flaps his jaw the less that New Yorkers seem to like what they see and hear. Moron might pull a Biden trick and hide in his basement.

Commie boy is crashing and burning. He will have nothing left but rich liberal white women to push him over the line now. The same group that went gaga over Obama.

Have to believe that this fraud helps Eric Adams.
Cuomo is damaged goods and Sliwa has been rejected by the voters multiple times.

Mamdani is a member of the NYC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization whose platform accuses Israel of genocide, pledges solidarity with the Palestinian cause, and supports divestment from and boycott of Israel. He's lost his support in the Black community, and is about to lose his support within the Jewish community as well. Did NO ONE look this guy up before they voted for him?

#7 Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa. No question. Can anyone say with certainty where Obama was born? Or even who his actual biological father was? And please, please don't pull out his "birth certificate," which was quickly proven to be a creation, not a copy. Will we ever know? Do you think he would offer a saliva, blood, or any kind of biological sample for DNA analysis? This "What about Obama?" question should never go away until we know the truth.

I didn’t think that I’d EVER be defending the Commie Mamdani BUT that useless piece of human flesh does have more claim to Africa than any of the “outraged” class of hyphenated Americans. And what about Elon Musk? He has more claim to “Africa” than the half-white (mulatto) and negro/black “African”-Americans, OR the Commie.
The Negro / Colored / Black separatist movement that started in the early 1960’s in this country apparently never considered any recent migration of individuals from that part of the world when they “trademarked” their beloved hyphenated creation and beat it into our skulls 24x7. What blacks want but not want is a “hierarchy” based on melanin count, but then Jesse Jackson and half a dozen other loudmouth “race-hustlers” would rank far lower than any recent migrant from Nigeria. Whitey tried to warn them against using that hyphenated American stunt, but that smacked of whitey once again trying to tell them what to do. C’est la vie.

For a communist, a lie is just as good as the truth. It depends on which advances his agenda for the occasion. If he’s an AF, fine and dandy. If he’s a white cracker, that works too. Whatever gets him in the mayor’s seat. Remember Hillary’s black accent when she spoke to a black crowd?

#7, I read an article the other day (do not remember source) that he applied to Columbia University as a black person and then as an Asian person. It supposedly was an effort to get in and the article claimed that he was neither. I don't know where you get your information but mine seems to conflict with yours. This article also stated that Mamdani did not get into Columbia University. . .

A lot of Leftists are enraged by this news too. But not because Zohran checked all the boxes. But because he was exposed. Asian Americans are actually Aryans. Why didn't he check that box?

Now he can join Pocahontas ...making claims to his heritage and trying to convince the black community that he is black...it's to late democrats...the black community woke up...pardon the pun...the days of telling the black community what to think and who to vote for are over.....I'm so proud of them...they took charge of their lives and voted for President Trump to make ALL America great again....MAGA has a big tent...and it's full to over flowing now....all are welcome...WE will find room for you....

Black New Yorkers swallowed the Adams hook and didn't get such a good deal there either. Compared to Mamdani he's a real gem.

An admission that being black, or checking that box, IS a perquisite of that race. Kinda' like 'white privilege'

One black woman mentioned that she knew something was ‘off’ about him. Was this her first clue?

These "African-Americans" faux outrage is a joke. Anyone who can trace their lineage back at least a century in this country means you are an American. Not some hyphenated jerk. So sick of the Balkanization of this country.
BTW - other African Americans: Theresa Heinz Kerry and Charlize Theron - all lefty libs anyway - who cares.

In our upside-down world where a man can identify as a woman, a white person can identify as a black. The hardcore left brought this on. For them it's just a way to sow division. It's working.
Mamdani's parents are of Indian descent. They migrated to Uganda where they had Zohran. After that, they immigrated to the United States. He is Ugandan because he was born there. He is not black.

He was born in Uganda, an Ugandan citizen who is now an American citizen. So, he's truly an African American, just like Musk. Just like obama.

#27: No, you're still white. You might have been historically put-upon by the English, but you can take that up with the British Crown. Sort of the same way that all those who believe America was founded in 1619 have a bone to pick with the British Crown. If anyone *should* pay reparations, it's them.

His father is a professor there, he (disingenuously) ticked the DEI box, and still he was not accepted at Columbia. Clearly young Zohran is not among America's best and brightest. Just like Kamala, and Justice Brown and Justice Sotomayor. There are so many outstanding POC, why does the Left keep coming up with these bottom of the barrel candidates? Maybe because only they will swallow the Leftist hogwash. As for being a fraud, Mamdani has many other claims to fraudulence, hoping to masquerade as Black ethnicity is just wee example of his fakery. And if New Yorker's are foolish enough to fall for him, they're even dumber that I think they are.

A dangerous, demented and Marxist fraud. He would make New York's recent succession of substandard mayors look like a bargain.
