When you see this, it's usually a reference to culture, not physiology. And it's in the context of an election season.
Black Americans have largely descended from slaves in the US. They are a significant percentage of the population of the country and have helped build our great nation. They were a proud people before The Great Society and Affirmative Action, and had every right to be. They are Americans who have been here for many generations and have their own identity.
Kamala Harris is an Anchor Baby. She is of South Indian decent maternally, and descended from Jamaican slave owner Hamilton Brown on her father's side. She panders to whomever she is speaking to as most politicians do, but to some extent comes off as fake when trying to seem Black. To what extent? We will see.
Similar discussions surrounded Obama. Do they each have darker skin? Of course. Are they each partially descended from people from Africa? Yes. But do they really know what it's like to be Black in America - do people believe that they are a part of that culture - can people identify with them? Well, that remains to be seen. Black American culture on the Left is a big tent, see Shaun King, Rachel Dolezal, and Governor Ralph Coonman Northram. Obama obviously fit in well enough, maybe Kamala will be accepted too. But they come as a package - is the tent big enough for Biden and his 1994 Crime Bill War On Black People? I don't know. I'm amazed he keeps going.
Obama did a great job at pandering to all those with a victim mentality. But polls are shifting and some percentage of Black Americans are seeing thru the lies of the Left (#blexit), and supporting Trump. In this election, the Black vote will be fought for on both sides, and sadly identity politics works. Will it work in 2020? For Biden? The answer depends on how much people are waking up the the lies of the Left.
"She ain't really Black" pulls the rug out from people just simply identifying with the VP candidate and hopefully gets them to take a good look at who they are going to vote for for President.
