====Father rejects her racial stereotypes====
Donald J. Harris, a [[civil rights]] [[activist]] and the father of Kamala, severely rebuked Kamala after she was asked on a radio broadcast if she had ever smoked [[marijuana]]. Kamala invoked a vulgar and [[racist]] stereotype of [[Jamaica]]ns: {{quotebox|"look, half my family is from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?”}} Her father responded: {{quotebox|"My dear departed grandmothers, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of [[identity politics]]. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty."<ref>http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20190217/dad-blasts-harris-stereotyping-jcans-presidential-aspirant-criticised</ref>}}

====Jussie Smollett====
[[File:Kamala and Jussie.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Kamala and Jussie. Kamala introduced legislation to make lynching a federal crime; Jussie allegedly faked his own lynching threat to draw attention to the bill.]]
:{{See also|Hate crime hoax}}
According to [[Jussie Smollett]], he was out grabbing a sandwich at 2 am in 7 degrees temperature at a Subway sandwich shop in the Windy City when he was set upon by two white thugs. The attackers, wearing red baseball caps (the type of hat upon which MAGA hats portray their printed slogan to convey their political message) in uber-blue [[Chicago]], allegedly called him a "f****t", "n****r", and told him "This is MAGA country!" before punching him, kicking him, dousing him with bleach and putting a noose around his neck. Harris immediately tweeted that the attack was a "modern day lynching."
Kamala Harris sponsored an "anti-lynching bill" in the Senate in late December 2018 to make lynching a new federal crime. The bill had always previously stalled in the Senate, because it was seen as an unnecessary political gimmick, meant to remind people of historical black oppression in [[the South]]. Murdering people with a rope has always been a crime under state law. In the wake of Smollett's faked "noose assault" in Chicago on January 29, Harris's anti-lynching bill unanimously passed the Senate on February 14, 2019.<ref>[https://townhall.com/columnists/williammarshall/2019/02/19/jussie-smollett-a-case-study-in-modern-liberalism-n2541670 Jussie Smollett: A Case Study in Modern Liberalism], William Marshall, ''Townhall'', Feb 19, 2019</ref> Harris finally laid claim to a legislative accomplishment, though no matching bill has passed the House of Representatives.
Chicago Police determined that Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian-American (i.e., black – not white) brothers, acquaintances $3,500 to "assault" Jussie in a rehearsed "attack." The brothers produced a receipt for purchase of the rope with money they got from Smollett, and later a video recording of them purchasing items used in the attack was located.
Smollett claims victim status in two groups: black and [[gay]]. [[Mainstream media]] bought the [[hoax]] hook-line-and-sinker. [[ABC News]]'s Robin Roberts of ''[[Good Morning America]]'' proved the most gullible (among dozens of others).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXLx5OY21Bk</ref>
