Zohran Mamdani’s DNA Declaration: NAACP and 23andMe Crown Him Black Royalty with One Drop

Bias: Center

Quick Take

• Secret DNA Partnership: The NAACP and 23andMe secretly collaborated to analyze Zohran Mamdani’s DNA, concluding he’s Black under the outdated “one-drop rule,” which labels anyone with any African ancestry as Black.

• Shady DNA Collection: Mamdani’s DNA was allegedly collected without his consent at New York’s secret celebrity parties that rhyme with Piddy.

• BLM’s Endorsement: Black Lives Matter supports the narrative, claiming Mamdani’s progressive policies make him “Blacker” than Black Republicans, sparking heated debates online.

• Mamdani’s Confusion: Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian-American, is baffled by the claims but focuses on his mayoral campaign, while critics call the situation absurd.

Black is the new Black

New York, NY – The NAACP and 23andMe have reportedly teamed up in a secret operation to settle the debate in New York politics: Is Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral nominee, actually Black?

According to their findings, he’s not just Black, he’s Blackity-Black-Black, thanks to the dusty, outdated “one-drop rule.” But the real question is, how did they get his DNA? You’ll see.  

The One-Drop Rule Strikes Again

For those who missed the history lesson, the “one-drop rule” was a Jim Crow-era principle that declared anyone with even a smidge of African ancestry, think one great-great-great-granduncle who maybe passed through Wakanda or Zomunda was legally Black.

Fast forward to 2025, and the NAACP, apparently nostalgic for the 20th century, dusted off this relic to analyze Mamdani’s heritage. Partnering with 23andMe, the genetic testing giant known for telling you you’re 2% Viking and 98% narcissist, they’ve concluded that Mamdani, born in Uganda to Indian parents, has enough African ancestry to qualify as Black.

“We ran the numbers, and let’s just say Zohran’s DNA is serving Afrocentric realness,” said Dr. Gene E. Splicer, 23andMe’s chief ancestry alchemist. Basically, Mamdani is the love child of Louis Farrakhan and  Queens bodega.”

The NAACP, issued a statement claiming, “Zohran Mamdani is a shining example of Black excellence, whether he knows it or not.

DNA Heist at NYC’s Secret Night Parties

How did they get Mamdani’s DNA in the first place? Sources close to the investigation, allege that Mamdani’s supporters have been collecting his genetic material at New York’s infamous “secret night parties.” These exclusive, star-studded bashes, hosted by A-list celebrities whose names rhyme with “Piddy” are known for their strict no-phones policy, and, apparently, DNA collection.

Someone ‘accidentally’ swiped his glass for a quick saliva sample,” said an anonymous partygoer who claims to have witnessed the operation. Other methods reportedly included “borrowing” his turban that he wears in private. The anonymous source says harvesting his DNA was necessary for the greater good.

Black Lives Matter: “He’s Blacker Than Any Black Republican”

BLM has thrown its weight behind the narrative, declaring Mamdani “Blacker than any Black Republican.” “The one-drop rule is the ultimate “invited to the cookout” check, and Zohran passes with flying colors,” said BLM spokesperson Aisha Freedom. “Zohran’s got more soul in his pinky than they’ve got in their entire platform.”

If the NAACP and BLM say Zohran’s Black, who are we to argue?” said campaign manager Zara Rahim, tossing a 23andMe kit into a shredder. “We’re just trying to win an election, not start a genealogy reality show.”

The Backlash: “This Is Peak 2025”

Critics are calling the whole debacle a masterclass in absurdity. “The NAACP and 23andMe using a racist 20th-century rule to ‘prove’ someone’s Blackness in 2025 is the most offensive thing I’ve heard all year,” said political analyst Jamal Truth.

Others worry about the precedent this sets. “If we’re digging up the one-drop rule, what’s next? Declaring everyone with a 23andMe account 1/16th Cherokee?” This is why we can’t have nice things.

What’s Next?

One thing’s clear, Mamdani’s DNA drama is the gift that keeps on giving. Will he embrace his newfound Blackness and show up to the next debate in a Kente cloth suit? Will 23andMe launch a “One-Drop Deluxe” ancestry kit? And will those secret night parties start requiring DNA-proof entry?

Only time will tell.
