Was Kamala from a middle-class family, or was it just another lie, one of many the moderators failed to check?

[Lesh]

But Kamala was not raised middle class of her mother earned the equivalent of $175,000, added to whatever her Ph.D. father earned. She was a child of affluence.

Her parents divorced when she was seven

It’s bad enough that when asked about what her plan was for American families dealing with high costs, her response was about her so-called middle class upbringing. She did not answer the question.

Back to her Middle Class upbringing, I don’t believe that for one moment. Or, we need to have a consensus on “middle class”. Her father came from a line of blue bloods (ie wealthy Elites) in Jamaica. Then again, if any family can point to owning slaves, most likely, serious wealth has been transferred from generation to generation.

You are so full of crapola, it's embarrassing!

Does this look like a family in Jamaica that is made up of elites, well to do rich?

Kamala is holding the balloon, her sister next to her.

You are calling me full of crap? You are assessing wealth based on a goddamn photograph. I am assessing wealth based on lineage of owning slaves, academic degrees, professions, schools attended, and zip codes lived.

Newsflash. That's upper middle class

Interesting.
Quantify "upper middle class".

Ah.
You lied.
Again.
What a surprise.

A tenure professor at McGill, in the faculty of Science, today makes $175,000. If salary has increased following inflation, that would have been about $32K in 1976.

Doesn’t change that she still bought a home in the most expensive market in the country. Tenured PhD plus whatever the absentee father sent. Pretty affluent. Not the picture she paints. Also came from a wealthy slaveowner Jamaican family.

Yes it does.

Also, reverse what the poster just said: he figured that her mother made only $32k in 1976, which would be $175K in today’s dollars.

THAT alone is affluent, but the affluent, educated father certainly sent something, bringing the family income up to well over $200k in 2024 dollars. The family was well-off.

They were renting a floor above a shop.

She bought a house.

She bought a house.

Link? And the area is not just mansions. There is a sizeable amount of middle class homes in there as well.

 

[surada]

fKamala pled poverty while her mom bought a house in the most expensive area in the country. She lied.

She saved for ten years to pay for the downpayment. You must be really low class.

The family did not own slaves, silly one. According to lore her father heard, a great great great great grandmother of hers was a slave, and the slave owner, Hamilton Brown, impregnated her. Women slaves do not have any choice if their master has sex with them...it is essentially master/slave rape.

No one inherited Hamilton Brown's plantation or wealth in her family's slave ancestry line.

(Slavery ended in 1834 in Jamaica.)

Oh, so where’s the data validating your claim that the woman “impregnated” by Hamilton Brown was the slave and not a wife or partner? Looks like the only “lore” at play here is trying to make the woman into Sally Hemings.

The curious tale of Kamala Harris and the Irish slave owner

The US presidential candidate is believed to have links to a town in County Antrim but whereas transatlantic ties are normally a cause for celebration, in the town of Ballymoney there is a strange unwillingness to embrace its most famous daughter.

Opinions vary.

 

[Tyrion234]

I must say I am impressed by what passes as investigative reporting among conservatives.
Harris cannot prove she worked at McDonalds 40 years ago…..so she must be lying.

When I worked minimum wage jobs in HS and College 50 years ago, I didn’t keep any pay stubs, have no pictures, don’t really remember the names of those I worked with and am kinda sketchy on my dates of employment.

So, I must be lying too

Do you remember the location of those jobs?
