Frida Ghitis: Black Lives Matter is critical of the Democratic Party's decision to elevate Kamala Harris without a primary.

She says the group called for a “virtual snap primary” that would give voters a chance to voice their preferences and concerns.

Ghitis says it's a stark reminder of the limits of identity politics.

The presumption that Black politics is or ought to be formed in the epidermis has always been patronizingly false, writes Julian Zelizer .

Trump has already tried to challenge Harris ’s racial authenticity, suggesting she positioned herself as Black only when it became politically expedient to do so.

The best way to undermine this kind of cheap rhetorical gambit is to eschew arguments based on identity in the first place.
