Father of Kamala Harris Says Her Ancestors Owned Slaves
Gateway Pundit ^ | 07-10-19 | Cassandra Fairbanks

The father of Kamala Harris detailed how their ancestors owned slaves, an inconvenient part of her history as she has spent much of her campaign focusing on race politics. The Democrats have been up in arms about an NBC News report that detailed how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s great-great-grandfathers owned slaves in Alabama in the 1800s.Donald Harris, a Stanford University economics professor and father of 2020 Democrat candidate, wrote about how they are descendant of an Irishman who owned a slave plantation in Jamaica in a piece titled “Reflections of a Jamaican Father.” “My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town),” Mr. Harris wrote in his article for Jamaica Global.

It sounds like Dad loves his daughter, his country of origin, and his adopted country too much to let her be president.

She needs to pay the reparations out of her pocket.

They are castigating Cocaine Mitch for his ancestors owning slaves. I expect Heels-up Harris to get the same treatment or the left must immediatly and forever shut the f@#k up about the colonial history of slavery.

But it was slavery in a different country so it doesn’t count right?

Which makes no sense at all. All those people are dead and have been judged beyond anything the media could ever do................

Why is it part of her history? Was she alive then?

Hey, the dirty secret no one talks about is that there were plenty of black slave owners in what is now the United States as well.

Well, that disqualifies her!

I know it doesn’t, but that’s what they do to us! They bring up that a normal person’s great great great grandmother’s sister owned slaves and expect the normal person to bow down, begging forgiveness.

Guilt is not passed down through the genes. Guilt doesn’t jump from one White, descendant of slave owners, to another White whose grandparents came over here on a boat from Europe.

Hell, obama’s family caught them enslaved them and then sold them. Did it matter? No. Did it matter that he was ineligible to hold the Office of President? No, some even congratulated him on “putting one over on The Man. The Republic has at the most, only a few more years. Those coming out of the schools, colleges, and universities today will not be able to hold it against those determined to destroy it.

Kmala’s Constitutional problem still exists, and it will NEVER go way.

Her Daddy was born in Jamaica.

Her Mommy was born in India.

NEITHER of them were USA CITIZENS when Kamala was born.

Kamala is an ANCHOR BABY-—nothing else.

She is NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN & IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

IMO, she is committing election fraud by taking even a single dollr to run for a job she cannot hold.

She’s a descendant of a slaver. I am so offended. An individual with a family heritage of slave abuse running for President. This makes her totally unfit for any office even dig catcher.

Obama’s slave holding ancestors were the Duvalls. The original Duvall Mareen (Marion) Duvall Huguenot immigrant from Normandy, France is also my ancestor,

The goal is to divide the country and provide a false solution that money should be appropriated from taxpayers to try to “equalize” a situation that cannot be equalized. Helen Raleigh, daughter of a Chinese refugee, pointed out that this is exactly what they did in China prior to seizing all private property.
