Presumptive Democratic nominee and US vice-president Kamala Harris has Irish roots but not in a way that she is likely to embrace.
Ms Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris, who was born in Jamaica, and Shyamala Gopalan Harris from India.
Genealogical research carried out by Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken reveals Ms Harris’s four-times-paternal-great-grandfather Hamilton Brown was born in Co Antrim in 1776, the year of the US Declaration of Independence.
Brown emigrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, and became an enthusiastic slave owner on the sugar plantations that were the mainstay of the island’s economy. He opposed the abolition of slavery across the British Empire in 1832 and went to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from his native county.

Given the family name, they may have originally came from the Isle of Harris, in the Outer Hebrides Islands.
bttt
So she is another Irishman like Obama.
Oh no! She is a big proponent of DEI and reparations.

SO...........................SHE IS NOT BLACK!!!! SHES INDIAN as we all knew but they have relabeled her and no one questioned it. Where are the insulted black community on this. Parading around as a sista
Most Jamaicans are partially black.

That’s a supposition you cannot support. And its not universally applicable to all Jamaicans.
Spot the Black ancestor ... the only Black in the past family history are the slaves they owned.
“ That’s a supposition you cannot support. And its not universally applicable to all Jamaicans”
It actually is.
Do your research.
Uh oh. Her phony identity is collapsing.
A whore from SF that would suck the chrome off of a Mack truck to gain an advantage.
She's already proven what she is, and now the demonRATs are only haggling over the price.

I can't seem to get the link right, but it is http://web.stanford.edu/~dharris
Doesn’t change Harris’ DNA.
“Doesn’t change Harris’ DNA.”
No it doesn’t , but who cares about her DNA.
She is a rabid liberal who has never had a real job in her life.
She got started on her career by screwing Willie Brown the former SF mayor.
She will run a screeching campaign of attacking Trump and private industry.
I’m starting to miss Biden !
So you think having an ancestor who owned slaves (and remember, you have 128 4x-great grandparents to choose from) is some kind of disqualification from modern political life?
If you do, you’re an idiot.
And if you don’t, why are you posting this?
but who cares about her DNA.

Her DNA goes to the lie that she is Black. My point. And that matters to a lot to real Blacks and whinny white liberals, as well as the MSM.
The OP made an excellent post.
I have no ancestors who were slaveholders.
Kamala has one.
Who should pay reparations for slavery?
If anyone should—it is Kamala, not me.
Well again. Being Jamaican she likely has some black genetics.
And yes the shallow minded people use that in a DEI and Obama like way .
But we ignore that and focus on her utter incompetence .
