Reparations Time? Kamala Harris' Father Says Family Descended from a Jamaican Slave Owner

Sen Kamala Harris (D-Calif) is on the record as backing "some form of reparations" for slavery. In a recent interview, Harris agreed with the host's suggestion that government reparations for black Americans were necessary to address past discrimination. The 2020 presidential hopeful later "affirmed that support" in a statement to The New York Times.

Harris doesn't owe anyone in America, but does she have some mea culpas to make in Jamaica? Her father, Donald J. Harris, wrote an extensive essay about the family's heritage in Jamaica at Jamaican Global Online in January, claiming to be the descendant of a famed slave owner.

Whiteley's account goes on, describing one victim after the next, including women and young boys. It is truly sickening to read. Brown didn't stop after the Jamaican slaves were freed. He attempted to make the Irish work on his plantation but failed when he was accused of trying to enslave more people. The historical accounts are so detailed that should Kamala Harris want to search out the families of the people her relative reportedly tortured, she would probably be able to find them.

Her family's background validates her position on reparations, her background validates the reparations argument

Al Gore's massive carbon footprint validates carbon taxes?

Okay, that's cool. I bet she would be in favor of paying reparations if it came down to that. There is nothing to the contrary here from this biased Reich-wing source.

Santa2016, when will you make reparations/apologies for your support of terroristic death threats and your posting of blatantly false propaganda?

Better clean your own house before you start demonizing others. You're a shameless propaganda artist and an embarrassment to this website.
