Wild isn’t it, imagine having a daughter who first gained notoriety for her brutal ““tough on crime”” policies which imprisoned people (predominantly black and other POC though that’s obvious) for weed, and then made a 180° turn to becoming the most annoying “weed, bro” stereotype panderer.
“My dear departed grandmothers(whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), 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.”
