Zohran Mamdani’s 'African American' Claim Stirs Row: Black New Yorkers Furious, Call Him a ‘FRAUD’

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is facing backlash after referring to himself as “African American” during a campaign event. Critics, including prominent Black community leaders and voters, have condemned the remark as misleading and offensive, arguing that Mamdani’s Ugandan Indian heritage does not align with the lived experience of Black Americans. #ZohranMamdani #MiraNair #ZohranMamdaniVictory #ZohranMamdaniControversy #ZohranMamdaniRap #TrumpVsZohran #ZohranMamdaniNYC #ZohranMamdaniAge #ZohranMamdaniScandal #ZohranMamdaniUganda #TrumpOnZohran #ZohranMamdaniNani #CommunistClaim #ZohranMamdaniCollege #ZohranMamdaniNews ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~

Zohran Mamdani Fights Back After Trump Threatens to Deport NYC Mayoral Nominee Over Communist Claims [Video]

Zohran Mamdani Fights Back After Trump Threatens to Deport NYC Mayoral Nominee Over Communist Claims

In a shocking escalation of rhetoric, President Donald Trump has threatened to str!p U.S. citizenship and deport Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor. During a tour of the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in Florida, Trump called Mamdani a “communist” and claimed, “we don’t need him in this country.” Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian American and U.S. citizen since 2018, has fired back — refusing to be intimidated and calling Trump’s words “an attack on democracy.” This video breaks down the explosive exchange, the rising tensions in the 2025 mayoral race, and why this moment could redefine the political landscape of America’s biggest city. #ZohranMamdani #TrumpVsMamdani #NYCMayorRace #TrumpSpeech #DeportationThreat #USPolitics2025 #ICE #ImmigrationDebate #CitizenshipCrisis #DemocraticSocialist #FirstMuslimMayor #TrumpControversy #BreakingPolitics #OneindiaNews ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~GR.125~

VIDEO: Texas Congressman Gill MOCKS Mamdani To 'Go Back To Third World' Over Biriyani Video [Video]

VIDEO: Texas Congressman Gill MOCKS Mamdani To 'Go Back To Third World' Over Biriyani Video

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.” The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.” #ZohranMamdani #BrandonGill #RacismInPolitics #TexasCongressman #IndianOrigin #BiryaniGate #ThirdWorld #CulturalRacism #Islamophobia #PalestinePolitics #AmericanValues #TrumpHypocrisy #RightWingRacism #EndWokeness #DineshDSouza #DanielleDSouza #UgandaToNYC #NewYorkPolitics #GOPControversy #MamdaniSpeaks ~HT.408~

Kenya Protests Turn DEADLY:At Least 16 Killed, 400+ Injured As Police Clash With Youth Demonstrators

At least 16 people have been killed and over 400 injured during mass protests across Kenya, as demonstrators took to the streets to denounce police brutality, corruption, and the death of activist Albert Ojwang. The protests, led by youth and spanning 23 counties, saw intense clashes with riot police firing tear gas and live bullets. Shocking videos show protesters pleading with reporters for help. The government briefly attempted to censor live coverage, but the High Court overturned the directive. Human rights groups have condemned the excessive force used on peaceful demonstrators. #KenyaProtests #PoliceBrutality #RutoMustGo #AlbertOjwang #KenyaUnrest #JusticeForOjwang#StopPoliceViolence #NairobiProtests #KenyaYouth #FreedomOfSpeech #AfricaProtests #TearGasInNairobi#HumanRightsViolations #CNNKenya #AmnestyKenya #NoToCorruption #RazorWireBlockade #LiveCoverageBan#ProtestDeaths #KenyaRising
