Kamala Harris’ Father Slams Her for Stereotyping Jamaicans For Smoking Marijuana

Professor Donald Harris, Kamala’s Jamaican father, has taken offense at statements made during his daughter’s interview on the Breakfast Club radio show last week, specifically attributing her support for smoking marijuana to her Jamaican heritage.

Professor Harris responded to the interview in a statement to jamaicaglobalonline.com:

“My dear departed grandmothers(whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), 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. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

They believe that the king of Kenya (circa the 1950’s) is the Messiah.

No.

Haile Selassie of Ethiopia was Jah.

Connection is easy and obvious.

Where is the evidence?

If you had it, I guess you would have produced it by now.

People are always coming up with things that seem to them to be logical, but they don't have any evidence to back it up, and yet it doesn't stop them.

Intellectually dishonest and favoring Harris.

What is "intellectually dishonest" about asking for facts and evidence?

Some people just like to spout stuff and don't bother finding out if it's true, or what the evidence for it is.

C'mon, looking up stuff can be fun.

Favoring Harris?

Nah. I can't stand her. I just don't like people making stuff up or doing shoddy research (or no research at all).

So there’s Perkins Coie for you. Same people hired to work for Obama, and Hillary and hired Fusion GPS for the Russia hoax. They’re running her campaign, too.

But even without that, how many times does one need to see the Smollets with Michelle, Barack, Kamala to know they’re all in the same alliance and working together.

Obama singled her out years ago (prettiest AG in the US) and endorsed her Senate run when she was running against another Democrat.

Here is the post you made that indicates you favoring Harris.

“That’s missing the point. Berkeley had a school busing program to bring Black students to schools in White neighborhoods and vice versa, so she was bused for what was called “desegregation” at the time.”

It’s propagating her false narrative uncritically.

No, it's contesting a false narrative. The graphic somebody found said that California schools were desegregated in 1943, so Harris couldn't have been bused for the purposes of desegregation but that's confusing de jure and de facto segregation.

Berkeley instituted a busing program in the 1960s for the purposes of "desegregation." There was a lot of busing in the 1970s in places that didn't have de jure segregation for the purposes of de facto desegregation. People can argue about whether the schools really were segregated or not, but segregation was the reason parents and children were given for the busing.

Thank you for the information about Perkins Coie. I just wanted some evidence. I remember after McCain lost all the talk about how Romney people in the McCain campaign were bad mouthing Palin. But nobody could name names. People said, it sounded like something Romney would do, but nobody bothered to provide any proof. Same thing with people always seeing the secret hand of the Clintons or Obamas behind everything. I want to know if there's really something behind such rumors or if it's just stuff people make up because they assume it has to be true.

You are not addressing Harris’ claims about her being bussed.

I said when this whole thing broke that if she were a Black child growing up in a White neighborhood she probably wouldn't have been bused for racial purposes. I don't know where she lived, which school she went to and which school she would have gone to, so I can't say if she was really part of the busing program or not.

But I don't think other people expressing opinions really have that information either. If anybody really knows, I'd like to hear it, but saying that California schools weren't segregated, so she couldn't have been been bused for racial segregation is overlooking an awful lot of controversy that was going on in the 1970s.

Ditto, somebody saying that the high school had black and white students and not bothering to find out about the primary schools looks a lot like sloppy research. It takes a few minutes to find stuff like that out so what excuse do people have for not taking the time?

If she's lying, I hope somebody finds that out and makes the facts known, but has anybody found that out so far?

That’s the problem. All these things are matters of record.

Read the Sacramento Bee article about it. It says what school she went to.

You’re saying things you know nothing about. For some reason accepting her narrative.

I get the idea you know nothing about her.
