I wouldn't have said so. I think Captain_Swoop was saying that Kamala personally is descended from a rich slave owning family and that this makes it a little awkward for her if she wants to present herself as some kind of avatar for black people struggling with the legacy of slavery.

First of all, he was quoting a tweet, not posting it himself. And second the implication of the quote is that black people are the descendant of slaves and so on, which is a claim of a collectivist view.

I suppose it depends on what is more important, one out of a thousand relatives from 10 generations ago, or the struggles that she and her family have had to overcome.

Statistically all Europeans are descended from Charlemagne, does this mean that someone who has dragged themselves up by their bootstraps should be derided because they're "royalty"

Nonsense. He's clearly quoting someone else in order to highlight the stupidity of his words. Dinesh D'Souza is a terrible human being.

This can't be the first time you see Swoop quote Trump or one of his sycophants just to inform us of what they are posting. Reporting is not agreeing.
 
The black descendants of white slave owners, famously wealthy and powerful people. /s

Unless the ancestry linkage between Harris and the slaveowning family is pretty recent, there's a decent chance that Harris's black ancestor was both a slave and the direct descendant of a white slave owner. Slavers raping their slaves, and sometimes producing children, isn't unusual.

This is, of course, making the very shaky assumption that Dinesh D'Souza isn't just totally full of ****, like usual.

This quote from her father seems to be the origin of this claim:
“My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).”

If he's doing it that much he clearly likes their work, so he clearly agrees with them. Dinesh D'Souza is a fine human being with the same right to his opinion that you or I have.

Captain_Swoop is a fine human being a pretty decent guy with the same right to his opinion that you or I have. You should read some of his posts where he isn't quoting others to get a feel for why he quotes people he doesn't actually agree with.

On a scale of one to a hundred? Zero. You're nowhere near as good at trolling as you believe. I've seen magnificent trolls in my time. You're not even moving the needle. Here's a tip for you: trolling has to hit a nerve; and that only works if it's internally consistent and has a basis in truth, no matter how shallow. If it's just random proclamations it not only reveals itself immediately, but it loses potency as well.

Hope that helps for your illustrious career in the future.

Kamala will fit the Liberal Bill, and all the Dems and kumbiyaa together about how bad the Orange Man is.

Well, they will be correct. Orange man IS bad. Everyone can see it except his cultists.
