Kamala Harris' Video About Her Childhood Kwanzaa Memories Raises Eyebrows
2020-12-28
[Red State] On Saturday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) posted a video wishing people a "Happy Kwanzaa" and recounting her childhood memories of the holiday. Her purported memories raised a few eyebrows because — well, you’ll catch on quickly.

Happy holidays, everyone. I wanted to take a moment to send my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Kwanzaa. Like so many other holidays, we will be celebrating Kwanzaa a little bit differently this season in our home. We’ll be doing it over Zoom.

BLUF:

It’s highly unlikely that Kamala Harris celebrated Kwanzaa every year in Berkeley/Oakland or in Canada with multiple generations in attendance and extended family, knowing these facts about her life. She’s never made a big deal about Kwanzaa on social media; between 2015 and 2020 she never once mentioned it. In prior years, the only mention was a brief "Happy Kwanzaa" tweet — and those were only in 2013, 2014, and 2015. For someone with such detailed and vivid memories of the holiday, the near-complete absence of any mention of said memories in the media until this year is curious. But, of course, it’s one more opportunity for Kamala Harris to proclaim she’s "just like us" and doing holidays over zoom.

#17 I'm guess "kwanzaa" was passed down from her great-great grandfather who learned it from the slaves he was trading.

I'd take that as Snark of the Day!

#19  Ah remember playing Yahtzee! as a kid. Was Kwanzaa from Parker Brothers or Milton Bradley?

#18  Of course, growing up in/near an urban area, I never once heard of this made-up kwanzaa bovine egesta.

#11  Nobody ever heard of this ridiculous made-up non-event until the 80s, long after Kamal-Ho was grown up, out of the house and trawling for sugar daddies in San Fran.

My thought too; she's too old for that to have been a thing in childhood.

#10  Kamala 'Devi' Harris, October 20, 1964. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by a black studies professor in California. Kamala's mother was Asian Indian and her father was Jamaican. File away with Hillary's black dialect and Elizabeth Warren's native American origins.

#5  Cultural appropriation, OK if the Left does it for virtue signalling. These are the rituals of their religions.

#4  Sounds like a job for Zenobia. Only he can do this justice.

I had to search for what the hell a Kwanzaa is, I thought it was a korean car or something.

#1  "Raised Eyebrows" indeed. Have you never heard of the famous Zulu war battle and British atrocities in KwaZulu-Natal, now known as the battle of Kambula? Zulu King Cetshwayo kaMpande's most senior impi intelligence advisor, Wanaseppi Kambula saved tens of thousands of Cetchwayo's warriors from slaughter. Harris is a direct descendant of Wanaseppi Kambula, hence the name.

All a piece of fabulous bullsh*t of course, just like Wanaseppi's namesake.
