The genealogical evidence linking Vice President Harris' ancestors to the slave-owner Hamilton Brown includes important gaps and is inconclusive. However, many descendants of slaves are also the descendants of slave owners, because slave owners routinely raped slave women. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kamala-harris-ancestor-slaves/ https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/aug/14/looking-claims-kamala-harris-descendant-slave-owne/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1815782867693096993

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
