The ethnogenesis of the Afro-Jamaican people stemmed from the Atlantic slave trade of the 16th century, when enslaved Africans were transported as laborers to Jamaica and other parts of the Americas. The first Africans to arrive in Jamaica came in 1513 from the Iberian Peninsula.

When the British Empire captured Jamaica in 1655, many of them fought with the Spanish, who gave them their freedom, and then fled to the mountains, resisting the British for many years to maintain their freedom, becoming known as Maroons. The British brought with them mostly Akan and Igbo slaves, some of whom ran away and joined with Maroons and even took over as leaders.

Jamaica had a native population before blacks were brought there. So it is not a guaranteed assumption that all dark-skinned people on Jamaica originated in Africa. Although it is likely that many did because of the decimation of the native population by the Europeans.

None the less, the math shows that there is damn little African black blood in Harris. None of which matters execpt to illustrate the rank, pandering, identity politics of the hypocritical Democrats. Her non-indian half is a racial mishmash.
