The Gateway Pundit has been reporting Kamala Harrisโ ancestral ties to slavery for the past few years. Now that she is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, itโs crucial to bring this issue back into the public eye to expose her hypocrisy.
Kamala Harris, the daughter of Donald J Harris and Shyamala Gopalan Harris, is a descendant of an Irish slave owner who managed a Jamaican plantation and fiercely opposed the abolition of slavery, according to British historian Stephen McCracken.
This revelation presents a stark contrast to Harrisโs campaign, which has heavily focused on racial politics. Recall that she advocated for reparations for black Americans for slavery.
McCrackenโs genealogical research discloses that Harrisโs four-times-paternal-great-grandfather, Hamilton Brown, was born in Co Antrim in 1776, the same year as the US Declaration of Independence.
Brown migrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, where he became a passionate slave owner on the sugar plantations that formed the backbone of the islandโs economy.
He resisted the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1832 and even traveled back to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from his native county.
Donald Harris, a Stanford University economics professor and Kamala Harrisโs father, acknowledged their lineage to Hamilton Brown, Kamalaโs slave-owning great-great-great-great grandfather, in an article titled โReflections of a Jamaican Father.โ He wrote:
โMy roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (nรฉe Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brownโs Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (nรฉe 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, landowner and agricultural โproduceโ exporter (mostly pimento or allspice), 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 Brownโs Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptised and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).โ
More from Daily Mail:
Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken said today that Brown was a โnotoriousโ slaver and โnot nice fellowโ who was born in Antrim but later settled in Jamaica.
โI actually thought this was going to be a nice story, like (former US presidents) McKinley, Nixon, Jackson, Roosevelt, all of whom have links to Antrim, but it wasnโtโ, he said.
Brown travelled to London to protest against the abolition of slavery and then turned his attention to Irish migrants when he was no longer allowed to enslave Africans, Mr McCracken told the Belfast Telegraph.
Mr McCracken has examined Kamalaโs UK roots after it was discovered she has ancestry in Co Antrim through Hamilton Brown.
โHamilton Brown was a notorious figure, and not a nice fellow,โ he said.
โHamilton was born in Antrim, just north of Ballymoney, before he moved to Jamaica as a teenager. Thatโs where he became a bookmaker, and then a plantation owner, and therefore a slave owner.
โHis gravestone is in Saint Ann in Jamaica, which lists his birthplace as Antrim.
โHe had numerous slaves, in fact Hamilton Brown routinely travelled back and forth to London to protest the abolishment of slavery.
โHe would come back to Ireland to take migrants back to Jamaica to work once slavery was abolished. A quote refers to him as โmaking slaves of migrantsโ in Ireland.โ
In 2019, it was reported that Brown owned at least 121 slaves in 1826.
