Kamala Harris’ Jamaican Ancestors ‘Turning in Their Grave,’ Her Father Says

WFB: Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s new embrace of smoking marijuana didn’t go well back in Jamaica, where her father said her ancestors would be “turning in their grave” after hearing her stereotype the island’s people as “pot-smoking joy seekers.”

Harris cited her Jamaican heritage last week when she admitted to smoking marijuana. The California senator scoffed at claims that she opposes legalizing the drug by saying, “Half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” She said she supports legalization because smoking “gives a lot of people joy, and we need more joy.”

Her father Donald Harris, who came to the United States from Jamaica in pursuit of a graduate degree in economics, took issue with his daughter’s use of the drug stereotype as she runs for president.

“My dear departed grandmothers, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” he said in a statement to Jamaica Global that gained attention in the United States over the weekend.

“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty,” he said.  more here

  1. Kamala’s problem is she thinks she’s too culturally diverse to appeal to black voters. But she really doesn’t think much of blacks. So she is trying to appeal to them is to making herself into a 1-dimensional stereotype of what she thinks “being black” means.

    Even if that means throwing her Jamaican and Indian families under the bus.

    Daniel Greenfield referred to it as Kamala’s political blackface routine. He is spot-on.

  2. funny that she doesn’t mention that her ancestors were slave owners. She wants there to be reparations for slavery. My family never had slaves, and never will. She should pay up if that is what she thinks.
    Why is everything sanitized for her?

    ‘Reflections of a Jamaican Father’ by Donald J, Harris:
    “…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 …”

    maybe she should be paying reparations before she opens her mouth.
    it must be nice to be ‘landed gentry’ and also able to push socialism.
    being brought to you by hollywood, but you’ll never see the credits.
    and she is an anchor baby, not a natural born citizen

  7. @ghost of brig gen j glover: “I read through that thread kinda quickly did I miss the fact that KH mom is from INDIA?”

    yeah, her mother is from India, and there is no evidence that she ever became a US citizen. Her father later did, but at her birth, her parents were ‘foreign nationals, making her an anchor baby. She might have inherited citizenship form Jamaica or India by virtue of her parents citizenship, and if she did, I don’t know if she ever renounced that.

  8. toby miles – great article. There must be some serious grave Turing going on.

    I wonder what KH’s father thinks of his daughter whoring her way, I mean carving her way, to the top:

    “All grown up now, Kamala is carving a way for herself in America to the top:”

  9. She’s going to need more than “hot sauce and joints” in her bag of racist tricks targeting the gullible, plantation black vote. Harris better do something for her white voters who actually have the numbers to get her the nomination. Then again, even white progressives might have trouble with her train wreck hypocrisy. If she gets nominated, the dead, illegals and non existing voters will have served their purpose.
