Over the past few years, Gateway Pundit has been reporting on Kamala Harris’s ancestral ties to slavery. Now that she’s the Democratic presidential nominee, it’s crucial to bring the issue back into the public eye to expose her hypocrisy.
British historian Stephen McCracken says Kamala Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris and Shyamala Gopalan Harris, the daughter of an Irish slave owner, managed a Jamaican plantation and strongly opposed the abolition of slavery.
The revelation contrasts with Harris’ campaign, which has focused largely on racial politics. Recall that she advocated reparations for slavery for black Americans.
McCracken’s genealogical research revealed that Harris’s four-times-great-grandfather, Hamilton Brown, was born in County Antrim in 1776, the same year as the United States’ Declaration of Independence.
Brown immigrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, where he became an enthusiastic slave owner on the sugar plantations that formed the island’s economic backbone.
In 1832 he resisted the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire, even returning to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from home.
Donald Harris, an economics professor at Stanford University and Kamala Harris’ father, acknowledged their ancestry to Kamala’s slave-owning great-grandfather, Hamilton Brown, in an essay titled “Reflections on a Jamaican Father.” . He wrote:
“In my own lifetime, my roots can be traced back to my grandmother, Miss Chrissy (née Christiana Brown, a descendant of Hamilton Brown, who was recorded as a plantation and slave owner and founder of Browntown) and my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris) Finegan, farmer and educator, from Eynontown and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me).
