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:

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

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?

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?
