CORRECTION: While this article discusses the fact that a list of alleged African slaves owned by an ancestor of Kamala Harris was published, we would also like to clarify the following:
According to Politifact: In 2018, Donald J. Harris, Kamala Harris’ father, said in an essay that he is the descendant of Hamilton Brown, an Irish man who enslaved people in Jamaica.
We found a user-created lineage on FamilySearch that seemingly connects Brown to the Harris family, but we couldn’t corroborate it with official records.
A family tree on FamilySearch also indicates that Harris is a descendant of a woman named Jessian Prince, who is listed on birth and death records as a “labourer.” In Jamaican history, “labourer” was a term lent to emancipated slaves and their descendants who were kept on and paid.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
The Democrat and Media allies are showing stunning hypocrisy with wall to wall fawning over far-left radical Democrat Kamala Harris since Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden announced her as his Vice President pick.
Typically the media would marginalize anyone whose family line included racism or owning slaves. It is telling that journalists choose to completely ignore the candidate the Democrats and media allies are pushing on Black American women, refusing to address the fact Harris is reported to have been a descendent of a major African slave owner. Whether this is accurate or not, is in some dispute.
Kamala Harris' great-great-great grandfather was Hamilton Brown, a prominent slave plantation owner in Jamaica. Just saying.

“Harris is considered a candidate who will cement the Black female vote, with Harris by showing Black women they are not taken for granted,” Chris Wallace said to Fox News, Wednesday.
Author and activist Dinesh D’Souza posted on Twitter the story the Mainstream Media (MSM) is ignoring. He posted the names of the 200 slaves that were allegedly owned by Kamala’s 3rd great Grandfather, possibly proving that her family line benefited greatly from the human trafficking and enslavement of Africans.
According to a scholarly article on the origins of slavery in Jamacia, “Slavery was from three primary West African regions of origin for enslaved Jamaicans and their descendants: The Gold Coast, the Bight of Benin and the Bight of Biafra. ”
Here are some of their names as presented by D’Souuza:
Here are the names of the 200+ slaves owned by Kamala Harris’ ancestor Hamilton Brown in Jamaica in 1817. One of the largest planters in Jamaica, Brown now has a town named after him, Brown’s Town pic.twitter.com/6QnBpEQyez

Harris’ own father told the story of the origins of his family, and the MSM attempted to marginalize him, to protect their favored radical left candidate.
Snopes makes a characteristically clumsy attempt to cover for Kamala Harris and dispute her dad’s claim that the family is descended from one of the largest slaveowners in Jamaica. They cannot offer one iota of proof to the contrary https://t.co/Nsp5wFT9xy
— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 12, 2020
D’Souza continues to ask the questions of an investigative journalist, wondering how Harris can try to capitalize on the suffering of actual slaves, with no comment or apology from Harris.
Kamala Harris’s mom is Asian Indian. Her dad Donald Harris is by his own account descended from one of the largest slave planters in Jamaica. In what sense then can she claim the African American experience of being descended from slaves and subject to segregation and Jim Crow?
— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 12, 2020
This is a good question, and no on the left has an answer.
If the Democrats want persons descended from slaves to receive reparations from those descended from slaveowners, how much should Kamala Harris have to pay?
— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 12, 2020
Harris’ family might be the perfect candidates to pay actual reparations for slavery, if the left was serious about making people who benefited from slavery, instead, they as the pushers of “White Fragility”, who demand the transformation of America into a Socialist Hell hole are demanding you celebrate Harris and give her more power.
At what point do Democrat voters say they have had enough of being exploited for the skin color and just vote their values?

None of this matters. Trump derangement syndrome rules the very fabric of their beings. They believe that rioting and the burning down of liberal strongholds, is somehow winning them voters all over the nation. Trump’s base is stronger than ever and is gaining support in both the African American, and Latino communities.
True story.
“Kamala Harris”
“Far Left”
XD Leftists despise her. Kamala Harris is a cop. Just because she’s left of the fascist cliff you fell off doesn’t make her “far left.” She’s a neo-liberal AT BEST.
Finally, someone said it!
Most Liberal voting record in the Senate 2019.
On what basis can Harris claim to be black ? Dad is Irish mom is Imdian/Asian?
Her Dad is Jamaican
I agree that none of this matters. Kari D. appears to have just whipped this together, even misspelling Jamaica at one point, and wasted the time it took to write this on an unproven claim.
Donald J Trump, the current president of the United States of America will certainly win a second term election come this November because he has qualitative leadership and the best president that America has to offer since the past three decades.
In 4 more years Trump will destroy America. dictatorship.
The guy won’t even make masks mandatory let alone forced anything else. Whereas the democrats are the ones dictating who can and can’t work, go to church, school etc. Do you seriously believe it’s Trump who’s the dictator?! He’s not shown a single red flag warning sign that he’s that way inclined. You TDS patients should really start thinking for yourselves instead of blindly believing everything the fact news tells you!
They’ll mostly vote Democratic. They always believe the empty lies the Democratic party throw out every 4 years. They’ll get new Biden smart phones with unlimited data plans, double the amount on their EBT cards that they sell at .50 on the dollar anyway, and free to them housing and medical care along with free abortions without realizing its a Democratic ploy to keep their race in check.
Jamaica was a huge way station on the way to America. White slave traders raped and fathered children with their black slaves, consigning the children into slavery. The attempt to make Ms. Harris responsible for a crime that was perpetrated on her ancestor is a disgusting racist ploy to divide the country and hide the truth. Shame on Mr. D’sSouza and on Kari Donovan. We deserve better than this, and we will get it elsewhere.
Really? Then why are we (white people) being blamed for slavery? We weren’t slave owners and any Black’s living now weren’t slaves.
Shame on you for deflecting what Democrats have been doing for 3 years. A racist are you. Maybe you forgot that fact. You wren’t there but according to you, you know all. Educate yourself and shame on you for your lack of true knowledge. If one’s ancestors owned Slaves then according to Harris, reparations are owed. Left that out to I notice.
Why is it “such a disgusting ploy” That is the STAND of people like Biden/Harris when they want to win votes. America is the only country that owns up and tries to right any wrongs made by previous generations. This IS the land of freedom to speak, to worship, to become anything we set our minds and energies to. We have very qualified Americans of all races that have accepted the equality that America offers. It is an INSULT to ALL Americans that a person would be selected (qualified or not) simply because of their race.
Their records (Biden/Harris) don’t back up all the redirect they are exposing now. Biden’s record of 30 plus years says nothing for what he has contributed to America except to make his family rich. We know Harris’s record we will have to wait and see how she flip/flops now in order to win votes.
If she is held harmless,that should erase any belief those of us whose family did not own slaves should not have to listen to this reparations bull crap
That’s what i think about reparations
Crime? Apparently you haven’t looked into the story too far. So it goes, he married the woman after the slaves in Jamaica were freed. Hardly seems like rape. If Ms. Harris was the product of rape, I’m certain she would be more vocal about it instead of remaining silent on the subject.
LOL!! You ARE aware that MANY Black people in this country, the Caribbean and Latin America are the descendants of White slave owners who RAPED our ancestral mothers, RIGHT??!! I doubt that she would be an “exception” to that rule, especially as rampant as the practice was.
Many of our SURNAMES are testimony to that…are you really THAT ignorant??!!
You do know that the very first slave owner was black right?
Look up Anthony Johnson
You do know one of the first slaveholders in this country was and 4 out of his 5 slaves were white?
D’Souza is that ignorant
So Donald J. Harris, a professor emeritus at Stanford University, a PHD from Cal Berkely and the father of Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to trace his own family history? It is written in his own words that his maternal grandmother was a descendant of Hamilton Brown, plantation slave owner.
“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).”

So…Re we about to decry Tump for

So Kamala Harris’s great-great-great grandfather was a British slaver owner? How scandalous!
