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.
So, Kamala’s got more slave owner in her than Lizzy Warren has Cherokee...ROTFLMFAO!!!
