SLAVE REGISTERS FROM LONDON Name The Slaves Kamala Harris’ Ancestor Owned
Big League Politics ^ | Jul 1, 2019 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 07/01/2019 3:01:45 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery.

Kamala Harris’ father Donald Harris wrote an essay entitled “Reflections of a Jamaican Father” for Jamaica Global Online, in which he made a startling admission (emphasis added):

“My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).”

Harris’ father’s passage ends

Hamilton Brown was not only a slave owner, but also an engineer of mass Irish migration to Jamaica after the British empire abolished slavery in 1834.

Jamaican Family Search recorded: “Hamilton Brown owned several plantations over the years 1817 to about 1845. According to the 1818 Almanac which can be found on this site, (Jamaican Family Search) , he was the owner of Minard (128 slaves) which he must have acquired from its previous owner (John Bailie) in 1815 or later. The number of slaves on this estate approximates the number of slaves in one of the registers attributed to his ownership (124 slaves). The other register (86 slaves) cannot be assigned to any estate, although he is listed in Almanacs for subsequent years as owning several, (Antrim, Grier Park, Colliston, Little River, Retirement and Unity Valley).”

Here is a full accounting of the slaves owned by Hamilton Brown, according to the National Archives in London, as of June 28, 1817 in the parish of St. Ann in Jamaica:

Hamilton Brown officially swore to the authenticity of this record, stating (See link):

“I Hamilton Brown do swear that the above list and return consisting of two sheets is a true perfect and complete list and return, to the best of my knowledge and belief in every particular therein mentioned of all and every slaves possessed by me as owner, considered as most permanently settled, worked and employed in the Parish of Saint Ann on the twenty Eight day of June One thousand Eight Hundred and Seventeen without fraud, deceit or evasion So help me God.

Sworn before me this twenty fourth day of September 1817”

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.

The above post was supposed to be to X who doesn’t think Harris and the Obama machine are working together, not Danny in Tn.

Posted here again for X’s benefit.

That would be unconstitutional.

What's the Constitution between friends?

Reparations would never pass unless both houses of Congress and the White House are in Democrat hands. If there was a liberal majority on the Supreme Court as well, anything goes.

She’s a fake and phony and those are the best things one can say about her. But she didn’t own slaves.

Doesn't matter. For the Left, the sins of the Father transfer down.

Wong Kim Ark was the subject of an 1898 SCOTUS ruling involving citizenship. The court held that Wong Kim Ark was a CITIZEN (not a natural born one) by virtue of the 14th amendment, noting that his Chinese citizen parents were lawfully resident within the US at the time of his birth, and completely self supporting.

The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868. It did not exist at the time that Article II was ratified in 1787. The 14th amendment does NOT refer to, or alter the meaning of Article II in ANY way, whatever one thinks that the framers meant it to accomplish.

Harris’s birth status is identical to Wong Kim Ark. She was born in CA to two lawfully resident non citizen parents. She is NOT an Article II eligible Natural Born Citizen.

Never thought there would a Two Term POTUS named Barack Hussein Obama either.

In fact, Obama probably smoked more Weed than all of Harris’s Jamaican Relatives combined.

Actually I did the research.....She was the second class (year) after full integration of her GRADE SCHOOL. Her grade school was integrated in 1968 and she started grade school in 1969 (Kindergarten)

So technically she did not lie but it’s a stretch.

What about the thousands of blacks who were slave owners? In New Orleans alone there were hree thousand black slave owners. Will their descendants pay reparations?

She didn't, but her lineage did.

She'll (rightfully) say she didn't have anything to do with what her great-great...grandfather did, and then turn around and support reparations.

“But she didn’t own slaves.”

Neither did any white person I know today but we’re all held accountable for it according to the dimocrat leftist progressives.

The number of slaves on this estate approximates the number of slaves in one of the registers attributed to his ownership (124 slaves).

The MSM doens't care if her family owned slaves. Why? Because democrat war rooms told them not to care....
