MODERATORS
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.
