KAMALA HARRIS - A CORRUPT SOCIOPATH LAWYER WHO IS GAME TO PERFORM ANY ROLE

 

Is there anything about which Kamala Harris won’t pander?

By Andrea Widburg

Saturday was a day ending with a “Y,” so that meant Kamala Harris was pandering to another valued Democrat identity group. Saturday’s pander was to those blacks who have embraced Kwanzaa, an anti-white, anti-Christian, Marxist holiday that began to gain mass adherence within the black community in the 1980s and 1990s. Kamala’s tweet honoring the holiday, of course, was as false as all her other pander stories have been, whether she’s talking about smoking pot and listening to Tupac in college or making inane comments about Hanukkah.

Kwanzaa is not a traditional African holiday. Instead, Maulana Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett in Maryland) invented Kwanzaa in 1966. Karenga now says that he simply wanted blacks to have their own holiday. However, in the early years, Karenga, who figured largely in the Black Power movement, described his new holiday differently. Wikipedia summarizes a 1967 article this way:

During the early years of Kwanzaa, Karenga said it was meant to be an alternative to Christmas. He believed Jesus was psychotic and Christianity was a "White" religion that Black people should shun.

Jeff Dunetz has a little more information about the man who called Jesus psychotic:

The man who created the holiday, Maulana Karenga, described the 2019 celebration as “An All-Seasons Celebration and Practice of the Good.” The problem with that statement is that Maulana Karenga is anything but good. He was convicted in 1971 of torturing two women who were members of US (United Slaves), a black nationalist cult he had founded.

The women’s and Karenga’s own testimony about the horrors he visited on those women makes clear that, if anyone was psychotic and delusional, Karenga was that man.

As well as being silly (it’s a harvest festival in December), the really pernicious thing about Kwanzaa is that it promotes Marxist agricultural practices of the type that caused mass starvation in China, Ukraine, and Africa. Nevertheless by the 1980s and early 1990s, when Kwanzaa broke out of Black Power circles and went mainstream, Harris would have been in her late teens, 20s, and 30s. In other words, even if one assumes solely for the sake of argument that Harris's family observed the holiday, she was almost certainly not a child when they did so.

Considering that Kwanzaa is fake and socialist, it’s a holiday with Harris written all over it. Still, the perfect melding of holiday and politician didn’t stop people from crying foul when she put out a tweet about her magical childhood memories:

Many noticed that Harris’s upbringing was at odds with the claim:

Others noticed that Harris hadn’t previously mentioned her love for Kwanzaa:

This tweet seems to sum up best Harris’s latest pander:

For Harris, holidays, whether real or made up are never about the holiday. They are, always, about pushing a political agenda. In that regard, Ben Shapiro, who knows a little bit about Judaism, explains just how awful Harris’s Hanukkah video was:

It somehow seems fitting that a presidential candidate who is a compulsive liar (that would be Biden) would choose as his running mate someone who lies just as compulsively. And no, I don’t believe that 81 million Americans voted for this pathological pair.

Kamala Harris Recalls Childhood Memories of Kwanzaa

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris issued a greeting “to everyone who is celebrating” Kwanzaa on Saturday, recalling her family’s celebration of the holiday as “one of my favorite childhood memories.”

Harris was born in 1964; Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by activist and academic Maulana Karenga, who was later imprisoned for torturing two women that he believed were trying to poison him.

A recent New York Times profile of Harris’s father, Stanford economics professor emeritus Donald Harris, noted that he and Harris’s mother met as part of a circle of political activists at the University of California Berkeley that helped popularize the new holiday: “Members of the study group that drew them together in 1962, known as the Afro American Association, would help build the discipline of Black studies, introduce the holiday of Kwanzaa and establish the Black Panther Party.”

In her message, Harris said that her family used to gather around, “across multiple generations,” and discuss the “seven principles,” especially “the one about self-determination, Kujichagulia.”

Critics often describe Kwanzaa as a “fake” holiday. Even some on the left have trouble with the holiday, noting Karenga’s past activities to oppose the Black Panther movement through a rival organization allegedly backed by the FBI.

President Donald Trump has also issued Kwanzaa greetings over the years, and has displayed a seven-branched Kwanzaa candelabrum, known as a Kinara, at the White House.

Kamala Harris' Video About Her Childhood Kwanzaa Memories Raises Eyebrows

By Jennifer Van Laar | Dec 27, 2020 3:57 AM ET

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.

In the video, Harris said:

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.

You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa. Every year our family would – and our extended family, we would gather around, across multiple generations, and we’d tell stories. The kids would sit on the carpet and the elders would sit on chairs, and we would light the candles, and of course afterwards have a beautiful meal. And, of course, there was always the discussion of the seven principles. And my favorite, I have to tell you, was always the one about self-determination, kujichagulia.

And, you know, essentially it’s about be and do. Be the person you want to be and do the things you want to do and do the things that need to be done. It’s about not letting anyone write our future for us, but instead going out and writing it for ourselves. And that principle motivates me today, as we seek to confront the challenges facing our country and to build a brighter future for all Americans. So, to everyone who is celebrating, Happy Kwanzaa from our family to yours.

If you can stomach watching her melodramatic delivery, here it is.

What’s so curious about Harris’ memories, you might ask? Well, for one thing, the first Kwanzaa was in 1966, two years after Harris was born, and started in Southern California, not the Bay Area where Harris lived from the time she was born until she was 12. We know that Harris’ father, Donald Harris, who hailed from Jamaica, was a member of the Afro American Association at Berkeley in the 1960s. Maulana Karenga, the FBI informant who concocted Kwanzaa was also a member of that group, but from a chapter in Southern California. After a semi-intensive internet search the only link I could find between the two was an opinion piece Karenga published a few weeks ago about Harris’ historic achievements that simply mentioned the names of her parents. So, it’s not as if Karenga brought Kwanzaa to Harris’ Berkeley/Oakland community.

Harris’ parents separated when she was 7, in 1971, and a New Yorker piece quotes Harris’ niece, Meena, as saying that Donald Harris “was not around after the divorce.” Meena Harris also said that Kamala’s “experience and relationship with blackness is through being raised in these communities in Berkeley and Oakland, and not through the lens of being Caribbean.”

Five years later, Kamala’s mother moved her daughters to Toronto, Canada, where she’d obtained a position at McGill University. Kamala’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born and raised in India then left the country to pursue her education in the United States. Gopalan’s family, part of the ruling caste, remained in India. Gopalan took her daughters to India to visit on occasion. Kamala and her sister had little contact with her father, and even less contact with his extended family in Jamaica.

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.

Now, to be fair, the New York Times profile of Harris’ parents’ relationship notes that after her parents divorced Kamala and her sister spent a lot of time with Black families in Oakland/Berkeley who were active in the Afro American Association, and a 2004 article about Kwanzaa notes that big celebrations in the Bay Area happened far sooner than celebrations in other parts of the country. To give Harris the (undeserved) benefit of the doubt, let’s say that maybe she celebrated a few Kwanzaa’s with these adopted family members. At most, that would have consisted of five Kwanzaa celebrations, and even then they wouldn’t have consisted of multiple generations of extended family.

Harris has shared at least a few family photos from her years growing up in the Bay Area. Is it too cynical to ask that she produce one of a Kwanzaa celebration?

For more peak cringe, here’s a video of Kamala Harris and her husband wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Watch for her to refer to him as “Dougie.”
