Candace Owens and Marc Lamont Hill argued over ‘blackness’ in heated debate over Barack Obama and Kamala Harris’ racial identity

Right-wing provocateur Candace Owens and progressive pundit Marc Lamont Hill recently had a falling out over Barack Obama’s recent efforts to secure the vote for African Americans.

Founded by event host Piers Morgan, who shared some people’s view that Obama was attempting to shame young black men into voting for Kamala Harris, Owens said neither Democrat actually represents “blackness.”

“It’s fundamentally racist.” Owens said Obama’s efforts on the set of Piers Morgan uncensored. “Black people are right to be upset about this. There’s nothing about Kamala Harris or Barack Obama, if we’re being honest, he’s Black. There is something very cartoonish about them trying to smear a politician before he runs for office.”

One sec surveys, wellIn a recent poll by the NAACP and HIT Strategies found that about 7 in 10 black voters had a positive view of Harris, and 1 in 4 black men under 50 expressed support for Trump.

If that last number holds, Harris has little probability of winning the presidency, experts say.

“She’s so bad, I might just f**k myself and vote for Trump,” rapper Lord Jamar, who appeared on the Oct. 18 panel with Owens and Hill, previously said. He is a logo of the Trump-interested voter that Obama and Harris are attempting to retain.

“You will think you will embarrass someone or force them to vote for this decision (expletive removed).” – he said on October 13 concerning the art of dialogue.

Hill disputes claims that Obama was essentially telling Black people to vote for Trump.

“Obama is not saying you should vote for Kamala Harris just because she is black,” he said. “I’m not saying you should vote for them because you’re black. In other words, it says you should vote for your interests.”

Appearing in Pennsylvania earlier this month, Obama questioned whether misogyny could be playing a job in Black men’s lack of enthusiasm for Harris.

“Part of what I think is, well, you just don’t feel comfortable with the idea of ​​a woman becoming president, but you come up with other alternatives and other reasons,” the Pittsburgh Field Office told campaign volunteers and officials during a news conference.

Jamar, who identified himself as a registered independent MP, expressed resentment towards Obama, who “wagged us with the finger of condemnation.”

“We are waking up as Black people,” he said. “We think for ourselves. I do not understand why we’re trying to offer this woman a promotion. I do not feel like she’s the one. Sorry. “

“She’s not black,” he said, siding with Owens.

Owens is all the time a controversial figure he swam further to the suitable in his recent Holocaust denial comments.

Her comments are marginal, though they look like growing as America’s political divisions deepen.

“There is nothing in Barack Obama’s history that would give him a springboard to talk to his brothers about the Black experience,” Owens said, noting that the previous president was raised by white grandparents, went to a predominantly white college and had white girl.

Harris, she said, grew up with an “Indian experience and was proud of it until she ran for office.” Owens poked fun at what she said was Harris’s accent changing depending on the identity and region of voters she was trying to achieve.

“I think they have blackface,” she said. “I can’t decipher all of Kamala’s accents. I don’t trust someone who slips through so many personalities. This is not okay and I completely reject it.”

Hill rejected Owens’ claims that Harris is inauthentic or someway not black.

“Black people talk differently,” Hill continued, mentioning that Black individuals are code-switching. “Black people call people aunts. When someone says she’s my aunt, they are not lying because they do not have the identical blood.

“Going to Howard is a Black experience,” he said, referring to the vice chairman’s alma mater. “AKA The Oath is a Black Experience.”
