    Many slave owners raped their slaves and had mixed offspring who were also enslaved. Being a descendant does not mean a welcomed part of the family.

      But they also a case when slave owner marry his slave but not free the slave because it more save for his family to stay as a slave in era when human especially African still part as human commodities and properties. By free the family that slave owner have, there are possibilities for his family to be enslave by others.

When we talk about slavery to America we often think about the Atlantic Slave Network but that Network is not the only network since there also Pacific Slave Network when people from Pacific and the Indies (India, Indochina, Indonesia) brought to work in plantation in America continent like the African. And there also Indian Ocean slave network like when people from India or Indonesia brought by the colonizer to be sold as slave in the European Africa colony (Cape Malay in Cape town South Africa is the example). And there are a case of the Indonesian slave married with they slave master in era of Dutch colonial rule and many of the descendant today living in Netherlands

      @@foreverfalcon8117 almost all slavery historically was based on taking them from foreign lands e.g. spartans/helots, arabs/africans, scandanavians/anglos. Generally the only time it isn't like that is when tribes are too primative to travel to obtain slaves and just raid the nearest village e.g. germanic tribes, african tribes. Nothing to do with how evil you think white people are.

      Slavery existed in every civilization before history began to be recorded. Be proud that America was one of the first countries to abolish it. There are some countries in Africa who hadn't abolished it until the 90s!
      Also those African slaves that ended up in America were a lot luckier than those owned by Islamic slavers. They castrated all male slaves and made females their concubines. That is why you don't find a large African former slave population in Islamic countries.

    If anyone has two parents who have both earned a Ph. D from University of California, Berkeley, that person definitely has an upper-middle to upper class background. Thus, when looking at Kamala Harris' background, it's also important to take into consideration class as well as race differences that the Democratic Party has historically emphasized. Accordingly, Ms. Harris may not have "white privilege", but she certainly had the upper-middle to upper-class privilege.

      A upper class black person will be exposed to more racism b/c it puts them in direct contact with racist whites. A white co worker nearly lost his mind when he learned I made more money than him. A white neighbor went to prison after he tried to run me down with his car when I was 5, playing with my cousin on my family's property.
      My brother holds an MBA and had to sell his house last year after white neighbors started following him on his morning jog demanding him to prove he lived in the neighborhood.
      My sister is a famous TV Reporter who has to do her job with armed bodyguards after she was harassed by a white nationalist holding a rifle while calling her the NWORD.

      Raymond Nolan Scott African Slaves were brought to the Middle East by the Arab conquerors. Then when the Arabs started the trade with India and conquered Northern India “the Mughal dynasty “ by Tipu Sultan and others who invaded deeper into S India. Many intermarried local Indians and in the case of Pakistan the Balochi and Makranis who occupied were Africans who settled there. They too married locals. The following generations were now part of the 2 countries and are not identified on ethnic origins. They self identify as either Pakistani or Indian depending upon their place of residence.

      When dealing with people who are themselves from Africa, yes. When dealing with the descendants of African slaves in the Americas, not really. Their exact origins are rarely known and often mixed anyways.
      To be honest it's much the same for European immigrants to America. The first generation or two are often specified by country, but past that it blurs into generic European American, or as we usually call it "white" or just "American".
      The same isn't said of African Americans, because this country has historically been too racist to accept black people are really American and to a lesser extent still is so.

    I’m from Puerto Rico but as a Puerto Rican we usually say I am the combination of three races (Taino Indian, Spaniard and African). In essence that is true but not entirely. It turns out that after taking a DNA test, my racial pedigree is much more complex.
    According to DNA test I have an ancestry from:
    Portugal 🇵🇹 24%
    Spain 🇪🇸 23%
    Indigenous Boriken/Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
    (Taíno Indian) 16%
    Cameron, Congo, Wester African, etc. 12%
    European Jewish 7%
    Nigeria 5%
    Norther African 5%
    Senegal 4%
    Mali 2%
    Aegean Islands 1%
    France 1%
    In summary and using an expression that we usually use in Borinquen (Puerto Rico): "he/she who does not have 'dinga' has 'mandinga'". Basically what it means is "he/she who does not have this has that" (geographically speaking it would be: "he/she who does not have from one place has it from that other place").

      Yes, always more complex. Yours is one of the most interesting I've seen. Best to have many family members test their DNA. One of the DNA sites used to let you know about some nationality (I think that is a good word) you most likely have because so many close DNA matches have that nationality registering. DNA is capricious. My full sister and I have different DNA profiles. She has 10% French, and I have 2%. Let's pretend we both have 4%. That doesn't mean we have the same 4%. Ancestry can separate DNA by maternal and paternal lines now. I have 2 more nationalities registering on mother's side than she does. I have more Jewish than she does. She has more eastern European than I do. And so forth. There is Native American in the mixes. But a family member not showing Native in their DNA test has several skeletal characteristics specific to Native and they LOOK Native and are always taken as such. What we need is lots more sampling of every population, and more people getting their DNA tested and shared. I don't believe that any of this really makes a difference in one's life--culture does--but it is just so much fun!

      Even as giving a replying comment towards other said bloggers; thus, (based on some already giving historical references & possible Birth Certificate info) although Kamala Harris was genetically produced by a Black (possibly mixed-race) Jamaican male & Indian female, there was no real indication of her being 'labeled', recognized as being Black or (of African descent) African American.
      Is it not true that, even from birth, her racial - genetic line is only listed as: Caucasian, Indian and Jamaican? For someone that as said: "My parents met and continually collaborated at African American civil rights meetings, as well as ultimately often taking me (as an infant and young female child) to those same meetings with them". Thus, my questioning comment is: ? What ultimately happened to Kamala Harris and her final relationship with Black - Richly Melanated males? In the end, is it not possible that this same Black father was not very active within her overall life or final up-bringing? Is this also a case of another Black female seeking vengeance on what her Black father did (or maybe better said didn't do) towards a Black daughter????

    Still don't feel like being blind to race, which as you said, is an unscientific social construct often defined by racism itself, is a bad idea. Maybe it's just because I'm African born and know my roots somewhat. But there is a such thing as being hyper focused on race, and I don't think that's the solution.

    • @RenegadeShepard69
      @RenegadeShepard69 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yup. After all if we let race be defined racism for any longer it's not really going to change. My opinion is people saying things like in this that "unfortunately they're still seen as different the 'society' " are subconsciously supporting the racist caste system of their society. It's not that the opposite of being focused on race or making things a "race thing" is to be "color-blind" but is to acknowledge that in reality skin color is not what's holding people back the most, more than race,, it's not the white wall of white supremacy is the green wall of impoverished non whites in America. Kamala, Obama, etc. Are a dime in a dozen, because of their families' affluence. The richer the person the less stigmatized they get. And that is why I think that acknowledging race as "unfortunately still a thing nowadays" in the slightest is embracing and agreeing with white supremacist lunatics who have way too much power in the minds of the American people.
      The way Race works in the USA is a racist concept which the public views as a counter to white supremacy but is actually working in support of it. Just like with the bipartisan elections, the USA always manages to keep the status quo under control.

    hmm- so you totally ignored her father's line? it is most interesting. and i have it. it is not at all what you assume since Chrishy was born to Mary Mulvaney Brown and Hamilton Brown. they were married btw. not at all unusual in Jamaica. maybe you need to do more research? Christiana, who they called Chrishy, was not illegitimate at all it seems. she was the daughter of Hamilton's second wife. they married -- yeah you heard that right- married- after his first wife Isabella died. so no, she wasn't a product of rape. she was a product of marriage. since both of his grandmothers, including Miss Iris Fenigan Christie were black- most likely Creole- then it seems his great grandfather had chosen a black woman as a wife the second time around. i don't know if his first two sons were white, but both his daughters were black.
    oh and another thing, Hamilton was Mary's second husband. she was married to a Brown before him, which is why her name is listed as Brown before she married him. i don't know what her maiden name was- it never showed up on anything I researched. but i am sure someone somewhere will find it.

My friends and co-workers were quick to squawk about her claims with respect to race. I did look at some articles by her father, around the time he publicly said something negative about her public statements. I was merely casually interested at the time. It was an easy find then.

    • @jeffmacdonald9863
      @jeffmacdonald9863 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sources for any of that?
      It doesn't really make sense though. The timeline is too short. The slave owner Hamilton Brown was obviously from the early 1800s, before slavery was abolished in Jamaica. He apparently died in 1843. He can't really have been Miss Chrishy's father, since she died in the early 60s, according to Donald Harris. There need to be at least one more generation - quite possibly more.
      According to Snopes, there was a second Hamilton Brown involved, who may be who you were looking at. They suggest that the Mary Melvina Brown who married that Hamilton Brown was the daughter of the slave owner Hamilton Brown. Still no direct link to Christiana though.
      The slave rape would have been a generation or two before Christiana, since it would have needed to be in the slavery days, which ended in Jamaica in the 1830s.
      Regardless of any of that and regardless of any documented ancestry, it's practically impossible to be Jamaican and black (or mixed) without having slaves in your ancestry - unless it's from known very recent African immigrants. The original African population was brought there as slaves and there was little voluntary immigration from Africa after that.

    She has more than one White Ancestor. Not every mixed race baby in the past was a product of rape. That is a false presumption.
    She had Scottish, North Irish and Irish Ancestors.
    Kamala’s Paternal grandmother Iris Finegan was the daughter of
    Patrick Finegan (Irish) married to Mary Watson (Jamaican) NOT a RAPE case
    Kamala’s Paternal 2nd Great Grandfather Hamilton Brown (North Irish) he was married to Mary Melvina (Jamaican) NOT a RAPE Case - yes he was a Plantation owner and slave owner
    Kamala’s 2nd Great Grandmother Was Elizabeth Brown (Scottish) she was married to James Henry Harris (Jamaican) NOT a RAPE case
    This video falsely delivers her fathers ancestry.

    "How society chooses to define them" is a difficult point because in this context society means "the aggregate of individual behavior" rather than formal rules from e.g. regulation, law, etc. So I would argue what you actually mean is a sort of average of how individuals respond to individuals who have specific physical traits. On one hand it's a small distinction, but on the other hand it's a huge distinction because it's relatively simple to change laws democratically, and enforcing rules about private interactions between individuals is something that can't or shouldn't be the purview of the State.

That is legit discrimination..fear based. One company needed to reduce staff by 10% which came down like 30 positions. They let the slackers that were black slide and cut whites instead.

But after 10 yrs as you may suspect ,politicians keep extending the limit and it has been now over 7 decades and it is still on going. And so people realising that res. is going to stay , now every caste and clan wants to be backward(same as everyone in US wants to be black) so as to get reservation due to this from initial 20%, res. is now reached to 50% in Federal jobs and Univ and about 60-70% in state jobs! And now some parties are campaigning to enforce the same res. on private companies too.
      And if you want to get an idea of what kind of people are now considered backward/oppressed!! just search "Farmers protest Delhi" the caste which is leading the protest (Jats) are considered backward(from 1999-) and enjoy 27% reservation.

This is the basic genetic makeup of ALL North and South Indians except for Bengalis and Adivasis (Tribal people like Munda and Santhali speakers), who have another genetic component descended from Austroasiatic language speaking people from South East Asia.

The same could be said for Whites too as Whites in the United States are pretty much just a mixture of different European ethnic groups.

    ADOS/Black Americans or American descendants of slavery have a history in the USA that goes like this.. 250 years of chattel slavery, followed by 100 years of Jim Crow laws and wealth stealing practices the have left this PARTICULAR ETHNIC group wealthless. This PARTICULAR group has also dealt with redlining, black codes, debt peonage and countless lynchings and massacres. This PARTICULAR ETHNIC group worked for 250 years for free as slaves unable to gain wealth, read or write. Then after that for another 100 years this PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP had laws written SPECIFICALLY to keep them from gaining wealth, accessing benefits like the GI Bill, the Homestead Act which provided millions of acres of free land to US citizens, proper schools, neighborhoods, jobs etc. which has led to the massive racial wealth gap.
    Kamala Harris, while having the DNA of an African, she is not of this PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP. Her mother is a Brahmin Indian professional. She was a high earning woman from a top caste lineage. Brahmin Indians are basically the white people of India. Her father is part Jamaican from a slave trader lineage opposite that of ADOS and was also a high earning professional. Her life and family has not had the same set backs as those who are descendants of American Chattel slavery. It doesn't mean she is a bad person. It simply means she is not some miracle success story as she would be if she were ADOS. She is 1/4 "black" and born in America to affluent parents, but she is not ADOS/black American. Kamala has had anti ADOS policies her entire career. She is against reparations for ADOS. She has made a career locking up ADOS/Black Americans. She is not ADOS. She has always been considered Indian American but since ADOS/Black Americans are politically uneducated and vote mostly based on race, she is being advertised as Black American to garner the black vote. Calling her African American is misleading. She has a drop of African blood but as I mentioned there is much more to being African American/ADOS than blood

      That last part explains your flaw. Race in the modern day is shallow and unscientific. After all, you even laid out the fact that ethnicity is more nuanced and basically serves the same purpose as race. So why not just use that? The problem with race is that it is too fluid and broad to be a scientific categorization. Rather it serves as a social categorization; thus race is real but not scientific and is a social construct.
      In addition, the meaning of races change over time as it has been used to include some Jews and Middle Eastern peoples when they would definitely be seen as a different race in Ancient Rome or Greece. Race also changes based on cultures as well. For example, up until pretty recently in human history (about a hundred years back) native "Han" Chinese still considered Manchus to be an "other" even though from a Western perspective they were practically the same. And that's the thing some countries don't even use race because it's so arbitrary to call yourself Asian in a country like Malaysia or White in a country like Germany.

    Thank you for this video. I am a Biology teacher and have to explain this concept all the time. In Biological studies nobody talks about race. Even in purely genetic terms we as humans have far more in common with each other that our ethnicities might suggest. Those DNA testing companies mostly lie to you when they tell you that they can pinpoint your ethnicity or where you or your ancestors came from. Some groups that have very distinctive genetic anomalies that have perpetuated in close knit communities can be pinpointed, but that is not very common. It is rather silly that people get so hide bound about determining a persons ethnicity when really all human kind is just a continuum of similar genetic traits, the rest is just environment.

    Many Jamaican ancestors were slave owners from Europe they prowled the slave Barracks at night or exploited domesticated slaves and had illegitimate children with them. Secondly, many poor European laborers from Ireland, Scotland, and Germany who were not slave owners had consensual relations with free blacks after slavery was abolished. You forgot to say first black American of Jamaican descent to hold this office. I have a first cousin with the same surname Harris and his paternal roots are also close to Brown's Town St.Ann and he is also a very light-skinned black person. Also in Jamaica, it is a very frequent thing to see a person of African descent who is also mixed with Indian/Asian due to a large number of indentured East Indian and Chinese laborers that arrived in the 1840s and onwards.

My children are half European (Dutch) and half Indian (Gujarati). In their sports teams, where the majority were European, they were referred to as Indian, at their Gujarati language classes at the local Hindu Temple, where all other pupils were of full Gujarati Ancestry, they were referred to as White. In both cases this was not done in any negative way. This was just a way for them to be quickly identified and was, at worst, a subject of interest and curiosity on the part of the other children they were interacting with
