When Sen. Kamala Harris said last week that she obviously supports marijuana legalization and has smoked the plant, she cited her ethnicity — “Half my family’s from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?”

Her Jamaican father is not happy about that.

In a statement to Jamaica Global Online, Donald Harris called his daughter’s remarks a “travesty” and accused her of stereotyping.

“My dear departed grandmother … 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 said.

“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty,” Mr. Harris, an economics professor at Stanford University, concluded in a statement to the news site for the Jamaican diaspora.

Jamaica Global fretted that the remarks by Ms. Harris — an early front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination — could fuel stereotypes of Jamaicans and cited U.S. news outlets’ headlines and columnists using the image.

“For some, it is more than mere unease; one Jamaican commenting on social media expressed the concern that ‘soon my job will be singling me out to drug test me since I am from Jamaica. What a stereotype.’ Her concern is not unfounded given the experience of Jamaicans travelling to US ports having sniffer dogs around them in customs halls,” Jamaica Global wrote.

Jamaica Global also noted the “ironic twist” that while Ms. Harris‘ father is Jamaican, her mother is from India, and that the practice of using marijuana as a mild hallucinogenic drug was Indian and brought to Jamaica when both nations were British colonies.

Marijuana was “popularized by Indian indentured immigrants who began to arrive from 1845. The local name ‘ganja’ is Indian. The concept of ganja as a holy herb is a Hindu one,” historian Oliver Senior wrote, according to Jamaica Global

Of course this will never be mentioned in most "media" venues.  Had it been DJT's great uncle twice removed saying something negative about him he would have wall to wall interviews for weeks lined up.

Upon research, she didn't get married until she was late forties, almost fifty. That should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about her in correlation with the hot/crazy matrix AND proof that men will fuck and a lot of times marry anything.

She is simply living by the Seven Principles of Rastafarianism. Bob Marley was a God. Do you have a legally recognized religion built around a class 1 drug?

She is being coached to separate herself from Bernie,yesterday she made a point to say "I am not a Democratic Socialist". She is getting blown away in fundraising and the only way she can counter him is going after his being an old white guy,at which point he pulls the anti-Semitism card.

Man follow Rastafarianism if you like because you are free like. I just think it's retarded.

As far as India is concerned i just want them to nuke Pakistan for my entertainment.

she doesn't seem very clever to me... I don't think she'll survive scrutiny when required to think on her feet..

Also, the way her father eviscerated her and her actions... the little I know about her... points to an absolute empty suit who believes in nothing and will do anything, including disgracing her own family to advance herself.

the only thing she believes in is her own fame and power.. has she ever had kids?
