Quote:Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was accused of political pandering over the weekend after posting a video celebrating Kwanzaa.

In her video, Harris claimed that she grew up celebrating Kwanzaa. In fact, Harris, said that "multiple generations" of her family celebrated Kwanzaa, an African holiday that was first celebrated in 1966.

Harris said:

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.

It' not the race, it's the economic standing. 

I have more black street cred(a white boy from the midwest) than harris. It's shocking people can't see that and give her "points" as she sells "her people" down the river.

You have more than Obama did as well.  One of the great untold secrets is that his true heritage is that of a mixed-nationality expatriate.  There is nothing wrong with that ... but it is NOT a typical "growing up experience" for African-Americans.
