Her mother was from India, and named her after a Hindu goddess. Considering she was raised attending a Hindu temple, that was appropriate.
The correct way to pronounce Kamala is the way Hindus pronounce it.
This is the Hindu goddess Kamala, who Kamala Harris was named after:
I guess I’ve been mispronouncing her name all along - it’s not HA-ris - it’s WHORE-ish.
She is another Bi-Racial American candidate, who is not a descendant of generational Black Americans, like Obama. He was a descendant of African/Arab slave traders through his father who had no African American ancestors and his white mother, who was a descendant American slave owners.
Kamala’s mother is from India and her father is Black Jamaican and Irish. I find it odd when they are set up as if they are “African Americans” as in descendants of generational African Americans of which there are many. Some day I hope we have a conservative descendant of African Americans, who is the best candidate for President. To me both Obama and Kamala as just another a set of Kerry and Hillary type Democrat candidates.
