P.S. Kamala's dad was clearly ashamed of her maligning her Jamaican heritage.

  • "Kamala Harris was on her 2019 memoir promotion tour when she joked around with radio host Charlamagne the God, the future vice president cheekily answering his question about whether she’d ever used marijuana.  'Half my family’s from Jamaica,' she said. 'Are you kidding me?'.... the politician’s father, economist Donald J. Harris – wasn’t laughing. Despite his virtual invisibility throughout Harris’ political rise, her father chose that moment to raise his head above the parapet.... 'My dear departed grandmothers ..., 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,” he wrote. 'Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.'”   (The Independent, 8/17/2024)
