    Help me out here, why would a Jamaican Indian be celebrating Kwanzaa? And as far as I know, Kwanzaa isn't very inclusive, and that goes against liberal values. She said multiple generations of her family got together to tell stories, but I did a quick check and I don't think her grandparents were in this country, she was too young to have kids and her parents were divorced. So what gives? To be honest with everyone, I wouldn't trust anything she said. Ever. Not even this.

    Out of curiosity, did she wish everyone a Merry Christmas, or would that be too offensive?

    Read the comments, she gets torched.

    I wore a Xmas sweater that said Feliz Navidad. I also sing along with that song when it plays on the radio. Do you think that upsets Trump loving Kamala hating folks as well? LOL

    Guys, I don’t know who’s more phoney, the golddigging liar known as Knees, or the hyprocrites who defend her lies and golddigging.

    What part of Mexico do you live in? I live among more Mexicans than you can count and they say merry Christmas. You need to assimilate.

    I really don't understand your argument here. I am not a Harris fan so it behooves me to defend her but do you believe you have to be African American to wish someone a happy Kwanzaa or celebrate the holiday. I have no idea how inclusive or what their values are but I would wish someone happy Kwanzaa if I knew they were celebrating the holiday just as I would wish someone a happy Hanukkah or happy Chinese New Year. It does not mean I honor that holiday myself, simply that I hope they have a good time and enjoy themselves during THEIR celebrations. I have been invited to Chinese New Year lunches by friends and I happily attend, eat the food and celebrate with them but for me New Year still happens on January 1. I have Egyptian friends, of strong Muslim faith, that I invite to our Christmas parties and they happily attend and celebrate with us. The same is true with Buddhist and Sikh friends. The only ones that ever decline celebrations or parties due to their religion are my Jehovah Witness friends which do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays.

    Again I don't see how this matters. I think you would have a case if she came out and wished everyone a miserable Christmas but if she chooses not to comment at all, (and TBH I am taking your word for the fact she did not wish anyone a Merry Christmas), how is that offensive to you? It comes off sounding a bit needy that if she wishes one group happiness you want it too?

    Does it upset you that those Mexicans say Merry Christmas instead of Feliz Navidad? Or are you mad that I wore a Christmas sweater that said Feliz Navidad? I am lost trying to figure out what you are so upset about. LOL

    They seem to need things to be outraged over. This is the latest outrage du jour.

    I think I heard about this HERE ; it was one of the gajillion articles in my daily newsfeed - Kamalla said that celebrating Kwanzaa was one of her top childhood memories. thing is, she was born in '64 and Kwanzaa was created in '66. Kinda unlikely it caught on that fast. I'd skipped over it until I saw this post and gave it a looksee -

    [​IMG]

    ... seems she actually celebrated Christmas instead. Methinks she's just been caught in a fib. And this is a fib that - I mean, what's the point here? She just lied about something that no one cares about and that she didn't NEED to lie about. Who gives a f*** what she celebrated as a kid?

    Also -

    [​IMG]

    - that looks like a menorah in the background. She just culturally appropriated from the Jews!

    hey libs, I just went to the people who tell you what to think, Google, and asked them why saying merry Christmas is offensive and the below link will show you why. In a nut shell it's not inclusive, discriminates and if you did deep enough it's racist. So if saying Merry Christmas isn't inclusive and is discriminatory and racist, then wouldn't the same hold true for saying happy kwanzaa? Or am I going to see the world famous liberal double standards and hypocrisy kick in again? And then there is the matter of what Harris said which just aint true. She's pandering and had to lie in order to do it, yet the libs will defend her.

    Ok there are very few people on Planet Earth that I loathe more than this woman but I mean....so?

    Why exactly are people supposedly mad about this? I don't even know what the hell Kwanzaa is all I've ever known about it was that it's a holiday that happens around Christmas time that I guess is celebrated by some African folks or something. I also don't even know what the hell Hanukkah is either all I know about it is that it's a holiday that happens around Christmas time that is celebrated by most Jewish folks or something. There's an official Presidential Message from Trump and Melania on whitehouse.gov wishing Jewish folks a Happy Hanukkah....and I don't think Trump or Melania are Jewish...

    I'm not Christian and I celebrated Christmas 2 days ago the same as I do every year....I don't give a damn if Kamala and her family celebrate Kwanzaa...

    There is an infinite amount of baggage to trash this lady on....this is pretty dumb thing to criticize her over to be honest.

    LOL! Is that threatening to you that someone is trying to be inclusive and extend season wishes to people other than Christians? My feeling: Jesus would have been supportive of being inclusive rather than exclusive. On the other hand, the average Trump fan wouldn't know the slightest about what Jesus actually stood for.
