Kamala Harris is a true Democrat. According to Kamala Harris' father, the Democratic presidential hopeful's great-grandmother was a Jamaican slave plantation owner who founded the city of Brown’s Town, Jamaica.
Former MTV VJ Adam Curry, read quotes directly from Harris' father's book, "Reflections of a Jamaican Father." Reflections of a Jamaican Father
By Donald J. Harris
As a child growing up in Jamaica, I often heard it said, by my parents and family friends: "memba whe yu cum fram". To this day, I continue to retain the deep social awareness and strong sense of identity which that grassroots Jamaican philosophy fed in me. As a father, I naturally sought to develop the same sensibility in my two daughters. Born and bred in America, Kamala was the first in line to have it planted. Maya came two years later and had the advantage of an older sibling as mentor. It is for them to say truthfully now, not me, what if anything of value they carried from that early experience into adulthood. My one big regret is that they did not come to know very well the two most influential women in my life: "Miss Chrishy" and "Miss Iris" (as everybody called them). This is, in many ways, a story about these women and the heritage they gave us.
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) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural 'produce' exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown's Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).
Both of my grandmothers had the strongest influence on my early upbringing("not to exclude, of course, the influence of my dear mother "Miss Beryl" and loving father "Maas Oscar").…
Will Harris be held to the same standard as others with racial controversies in their family tree?
For example, NASCAR river Conor Daly lost sponsors after being attacked by liberals over a racial slur used by his father in an interview during the early 1980s.
This hypocrisy is reminiscent of the contrast between the media’s reaction to actor Jussie Smollett’s recent hate hoax and the uproar caused by Roseanne Barr’s tweet comparing Valerie Jarrett to the Planet of the Apes.
Roseanne had her entire show canceled, while Smollett continues working on Fox’s Empire.
Mark Dice highlighted the contradiction in the following tweet…
So, Kamala’s got more slave owner in her than Lizzy Warren has Cherokee.
Mammy!!!!!
QUESTION: Is HARRIS Constitutionally qualified to be President of the United States?
OH’ Noes....Camel toe needs to pay reparations....
Joe Biden should spend some time on free republic. He’d get more information than you ever wanted on this site. The only problem is he couldn’t remember it long enough to use it in a debate. He should’ve known this crap when he went into this debate on Thursday night. But Joe’s time is up.
Heh.
Risky business. If it were to ever be known that Joe browsed here, he’d be lynched for consorting with the alt-right.
Oh oh. Looks like Whoremala and her dad will be at odds again.
Important question, but not relevant in today's culture and to the ill educated masses...
Kamala should pay reparations!!!
And Willie Brown, he be da overseer.
I refer to this woman as Whoremala, but now with this new information regarding her great-grandmother, I think Whoremammy might be more appropriate. As expected the only people reporting this bit of news is the “alternative” media, namely the people keeping it “real” unlike the MSM!
“Born and bred in America”
Is it Born and Bred, or Bred and Born?
Doesn’t breeding come before birth?
It reminds me of Lock and Load, when the actual weapon condition is load and lock.
Aside from the fct Kamala s a black woman trying to pass, she is from California.
There is no worse qualification than california values
Misleading headline.
The article makes it clear that Kamala’s great grandmother was a descendent of the person who was a slaveowner.
Yes, it’s still familial, but not quite the same thing that’s being implied.
She looks like she carried a big stick too.
Maybe Butt-i-plug will post that pic of her ancestor all over the campaign trail while he claims he’s the “real racial justice” candidate.
Oh...let the clown show begin.
This particular article is either fake or has some significant errors of fact.
The Brittish Empire abolished slavery in 1834, in Jamaica and elsewhere. That’s 185 years ago.
Kamala Harris was born in 1964. Assumming her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were no more than 40 years old when they had their childen (which would be quite an old child-bearing age by historical standards), that would mean: Kamala’s mother would have been born no earlier than 1924, Kamala’s grandmother would have been born no earlier than 1884, and Kamala’s great-grandmother would have been born no earlier than 1844. That’s 10 years after the slavery was abolished in Jamaica.
So Kamala’s great-grandmother could not have been a slave-owner.
Don’t get me wrong. There is huge hypocrisy in Kamala Harris’ playing the race card. Her father is a Stanford economics professor, of Jamaican descent. Her mother is a research scientist of Indian descent. She enjoyed a relatively privileged upbringing. If she happened to live across the city boundary in a bohemian section of Oakland instead of upscale Berkely for a few years in the 1970s during the desegregation era, that was more random circumstance than depravation.
One or more of Kamala Harris’ Jamaican ancestors may well have been a slave owner, but if so, it was more than three generations ago. More likely 4, 5 or 6 generations ago.
