The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

(the detail is that he's talking about how she self-identifies rather than her appearance itself, but that would ruin a perfectly good nottheonion moment)

Blackness is historically associated with the one drop rule meaning if even one of your ancestors was black you're black. Even now Americans tends to view biracial children as a member of the lower-status parent group which means if you're half white/half black then white people are more likely to consider you black. Obama is an excellent example because he's also half white/half black and people consider him black.

When it comes to white supremacists assholes like the ones supporting MAGA there's no question that Harris is black.
