I am UPSET in the MIDDLE of THE NIGHT

I just Read with my OWN assisted EYES a headline from that notorious birdcage liner the Daily Mail about how Kamala Harris has a slaveowner for an ancestor.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH @%@^$^*%&&*%))@@*#))*$@

NEWSFLASH NIMNULS the VAST MAJORIY of Black people in the African Diaspora in the Americas have slaveowners as ancestors. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT HAPPENED. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WAS INFLICTED.

Kamala Harris is descended from the women who gathered their strength in order to survive being violated, and I would bet she's as proud of those ancestresses as I am.

ooooooooooogh I fucking HATE people sometimes.

May I suggest to you a fine word Imani Gandy used to use a lot? Numpties.

There is, after all, a concupiscent market for things like Mandingo and romances featuring Nazis prison guards and imprisoned Jewish women ugh.

Yes! I have wondered how my SiL came to have a freed slave as an ancestor. She married a white guy and might it have been him doing the freeing?

Daily Mail........say no more.

The converse is that Cherokee Princess several-greats-grandmother that every White American family who’s been here long enough seems to have (despite the inconvenient point that the Cherokee don’t have princesses.)

If that Native American ancestress was authentic, the $64,000 question becomes: how voluntarily did she join your gene pool?

Nearest I get is being related to John Rolfe, husband of Matoaka/Pocahontas although my descent comes via his third wife Jane Pierce and I'm not USian! :o)

Oh god, the fucking MAIL. Utterly despicable bunch of poisonous bigots. Explicitly supported Fascism in the 1930s (Mussolini, Hitler and Oswald Mosley), have not improved greatly since then.

It's called the Daily Fail for good reason, and of course they're trying to make Harris look bad, because she's running against That Guy.

I hope Kamala's ancestor was part of the "octoroon ball" scene, breeding beautiful and talented racially mixed women. Also, she's a Goddess - her middle name is Devi, which is one of the names of the Great Goddess. I suspect she is descended from a long line of strong women who "kept their eyes on the prize".
