Donald J. Harris, the father of presumptive Democrat presidential nominee and Biden shotgun rider Kamala Harris slammed the “fraudulent” claims she made around her racial and cultural background in 2019, during her short-lived run for the presidency, accusing his daughter of bringing shame to the Harris family name “in the pursuit of identity politics.”
Kamala Harris claimed in a 2019 interview on The Breakfast Club radio program, the very same program on which Hillary Clinton made her infamous hot sauce remarks, that despite her career as an anti-marijuana prosecutor, she supports its legalization and used to smoke it while listening to rap music because “half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?”
The interview came shortly after Harris, who is the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, announced her run for the Democrats’ 2020 presidential nomination on Martin Luther King Jr. day, casting herself as an African-American as she has throughout her political career, despite her lack of ancestral links to the formerly enslaved population of the United States.
“My dear departed grandmothers…as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their graves 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,” Donald Harris said a statement he made to the Jamaica Global Online.
“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

Donald Harris’s remarks have resurfaced in the days since Joe Biden announced he’s dropping out of the 2024 Presidential Election and endorsing Harris, his Vice President, who was unable to poll outside of the low single digits among her own party when she ran for their 2020 nomination.
Because of the Harris campaign and the corporate media’s hyper-fixation on her racial and ethnic background, the fact that her paternal ancestors were slave owners has also resurfaced in recent days.
According to a report from The Irish Times,
Ms Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris, who was born in Jamaica, and Shyamala Gopalan Harris from India.
Genealogical research carried out by Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken reveals Ms Harris’s four-times-paternal-great-grandfather Hamilton Brown was born in Co Antrim [Ireland] in 1776.
Brown emigrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, and became an enthusiastic slave owner on the sugar plantations that were the mainstay of the island’s economy. He opposed the abolition of slavery across the British Empire in 1832 and went to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from his native county.
…
Brown received almost €11 million in modern money in compensation from the British government for [the emancipation of] his slaves.
