‘My dear departed grandmothers... as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave 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.”

That’s professor Donald Harris, the Jamaican father of Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, reportedly sounding off this week in a statement to Jamaica Global Online about his daughter’s interview on the New York Breakfast Club radio show.

Ping.

Jamaicans are of a higher standard than many others of similar pigmentation.

My brother-in-law’s ex-wife and her family high on that list.

“Maybe he should emphasize KH is naturalized,”

She was born in Oakland, CA. Her parents may be naturalized, from Madras and Jamaica.

Plenty of pot-smoking freeloaders will vote for her.

And afterwards forget that they did it.
And raid the kitchen for Cheetohs, Dorritos and potato chips.

Then go back to sleep until our next taxpayer paid welfare money gets deposited.

I saw a short clip of her speaking. She’s talking ghetto.

From what Ie read Kamala went to Canada atage 7 and only came back for college. In my opinion she did not have an American upbringing. She thinks like a Canadian. I haven’t been able to find whether the mother ever became a US citizen.

The guy that helped her get started in politics disavowed her. Her father issued a rebuke about her pandering to a certain class of voter when she embellished her partying days. She’s off to a good start.

Well, we now know career advancement wasn’t the only reason she became a much older Willie Brown’s concubine, daddy issues.

Bernie is a Bolshevik turned Stalinist, of course. He & his fellow traveler wife honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and some say they never came back.

I wonder if Papa Harris had Kamala’s first kneepads bronzed?

Betcha any amount of money that Kamala and her father have been at loggerheads a very long time.

Notice how he decries her use of identity politics in his last sentence. I have a feeling he’s been less than happy with his daughter’s politics for a long time now.

The “Heels Up” KamalToe is nothing but obama in a pantsuit.

Re “And she slept her way to the top”. Only in American can a Jamaican/Indian woman, rise to the top in politics by working “horizontally”.

I think a better description of her “rise up the pole of politicians, err, politics” would be to say she gives a new meaning to “poll dancing”.

The DBMs will bury this little “family feud”; nothing to see, move along.

HAhahahahahaha.

I don’t know if this will hurt her (I doubt it) but I definitely don’t want to her to be the nominee. I think she has dangerous potential. Seems to me a lot of people are trying to put the crown on her head.
