I saw this earlier, interesting if true. Not surprised by any of it.

Can’t you just say it?

No info threads will kill FR. My financial support will die along with it.

Hamilton Brown

Hamilton Brown was born in Co Antrim (Ireland) in 1776, the year of the US Declaration of Independence.

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.

The Irish formed a significant portion of the early white population in the British colony of Jamaica. Hamilton Brown emigrated to this Caribbean Island around 1795, initially working as an estate bookkeeper before amassing extensive land holdings. He became a wealthy cattle breeder and sugar plantation owner, at various times owning, managing or serving as executor for several dozen estates in Jamaica (mostly in St Ann’s Parish), including one he named “Antrim” after the county of his birth.

Can we PLEASE stop saying “deep dive?”

I thought her genealogy was dependent on what audience she had. If she’s speaking to a mostly black audience, then she’s black, if it’s a southern black audience, she’s black but with a southern drawl. If she’s speaking to an Asian group, she’s Indian. If she’s with a white group, she drags her husband along.

It really shouldn’t matter, but the Democrats made it the centerpiece of their party line.

Most of the black in her was from Willie Brown.
