Kamala Harris' Dad Blasts Her for Jamaican Pot Joke
|
h/t Instapundit
Her mother was an internationally famous cancer researcher and the daughter of P.V. Gopalan, a high-ranking Indian diplomat from the Brahmin caste. Her father was a professor of economics at Stanford who served as an adviser to multiple Jamaican prime ministers.
As a Los Angeles Times article described her, she was the "privileged child of foreign grad students".
Senator Harris, who had previously opposed drug legalization, denied that she opposed marijuana legalization. "Half my family’s from Jamaica, are you kidding me," she retorted.
Her family is from Jamaica. But Senator Harris is cynically playing on stereotypes about drug use.
Donald Harris’ Stanford bio describes him as an "economic consultant to the Government of Jamaica and as economic adviser to successive Prime Ministers". He had been a Fellow at Cambridge and a Fulbright Scholar in South America. He had even done consulting work for the UN and the World Bank.
The Harris family is descended from slave-owner Hamilton Brown. His grandfather, Joseph Alexander Harris, was a landowner.
And the Harris family does not find Kamala's pot joke amusing.
