"Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery."
A fairly standard false modern idea is that migrants have always been willing, especially the stupid Irish who supposedly grew only potatoes and had no other food crop in all of the Emerald Isle. What happened in Ireland is that half of the British Army was detailed to remove all food so that the Irish would starve to death or migrate—and there were many places where willingly unpaid labor was wanted after the British Empire abolished slavery on paper. According to Richard Francis Burton who was a British counsel in various nations in the 1860s and 1870s, slavery never went away in British imperial possessions but devolved into the hands of locals with slaves essentially only held by non-European slave masters.
Harris' ancestor seems to have drifted seamlessly from African slavery to European refugee labor just as those who preceded him in Jamaica had transitioned from owning "white" slaves to "black" slaves.
Most importantly the identity of this presidential candidate is a lie, which makes her All American in the deepest sense, for our commonly accepted history is The Greatest Lie Ever Sold.

One of James's appearances on Myth of the 20th Century included a comment on America being a plantation. That comment has clarified so much of what I could not previously make sense of.
Thanks for the linkThe Plantation term understood now as it was then, clears a lot of lies away from our lens.
