Kamala celebrated Kwanzaa as a child

People love using unnamed sources created by Wikipedia who has edited Harris persona since she was nominated. Her whole background is fabricated.

Generally speaking...this is definitely a thing for politicians. Staffers are on constant watch and opponents constantly try and edit. It's a fascinating battle

Interestingly, @CHICAGO is making a big deal about Kamala's father only being heavily involved in her life up through the age of 8 and suggests that means she didn't have any black influence (even though she was in a neighborhood with a strong Black presence until she was 12, went to a Black church, attended a local Black community center, and ended up going to a HBCU).

But a month ago he created a whole thread titled, "Obama grew up in Indonesia Kamala grew up in Canada", even though Obama was only in Indonesia for ages 5-8 and never had any connection to his Indonesian period again before or after that.

Interesting goalpost shifting there.

People love using unnamed sources created by Wikipedia who has edited Harris persona since she was nominated. Her whole background is fabricated.

You know the little numbers at the end of each line with a link? Those are the sources. They're not "unnamed". Every wikipedia entry quoted in this thread was deeply sourced.

Heck, let's check one of the oldest claims there - it links back to this article:

Mr. Robinson, whose grandfather had fled Alabama in the 1920s to escape a lynching, was the first in his family to enroll in college. “As a Black kid from Oakland, he didn’t even know what one did to get into the university,” recalled his widow, Elizabeth.

The woman in front of him made an impression. Ms. Gopalan, his elder by two years, often wore a sari in those days, and acquaintances said they thought she came from royalty; that’s how she carried herself. When Mr. Robinson stepped up to the desk, the registrar assumed he was a graduate student from Africa, and asked, politely, if his country was also paying his tuition.

Mr. Robinson, who died in 2016, thought that was hilarious, said the historian Robin D.G. Kelley. He would tell that story over the years, as he went on to earn a master’s and a Ph.D., then tenure at the University of California at Santa Barbara, writing five books along the way. He and Ms. Gopalan would form a lifelong friendship.

When he wrote his best-known book, “Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition,” in 1983, he listed the old friends who had helped him formulate his ideas. They were all Black, except for Ms. Gopalan.

They would both become part of a Black intellectual study group that met in the off-campus house of Mary Agnes Lewis, an anthropology student.

The group, later known as the Afro American Association, was “the most foundational institution in the Black Power movement,” said Ms. Murch, who devotes two chapters to it in her book.

“She was part of the real brotherhood and sisterhood. There was never an issue,” said Aubrey LaBrie, who went on to teach courses on Black nationalism at San Francisco State University. “She was just accepted as part of the group.”

As part of the group, Ms. Gopalan sometimes joked about the vastly different world she had left behind. Ms. Dashiell remembered her laughing with Mr. Robinson about a suitor who had approached her family about arranging a marriage, sending relatives scrambling to consult astrological charts.

In 1961, when Mr. Harris arrived on campus, he, too, fell in with the study group right away.

On one of his first days at Berkeley, he said, he spotted a Black architecture student holding a hand-painted sign, staging a one-man demonstration against apartheid in South Africa, and introduced himself. The student turned out to be Kenneth Simmons, a “guiding light” in the Afro American Association, along with Ms. Lewis and Mr. Robinson, he said.

Mr. Harris described the study group as an oasis, his introduction “to the realities of African-American life in its truest and rawest form, its richness and complexity, wealth and poverty, hope and despair.”

It was in that company, in the fall of 1962, that he met his future wife. “We talked then, continued to talk at a subsequent meeting, and at another, and another,” he said. The following year they were married.

So that's a clear reference that Kamala's Indian mother was meaningfully involved in the Black Radical movement, three different named figures involved in the Black Radical movement who are verifying it, and it dates all the way back to her name being cited as an influence in a 1983 book. So you think Kamala was secretly getting Black radicals to fabricate her mother's influence in the Black Power movement in 1983?



Since you think it's wrong to make claims without naming sources, what is your source that "her whole background is fabricated"?

 

[big bun]

She doesn’t sound authentic here. You always have to question a person who does not sound authentic.

95% links are articles created in 2020. Btw...Obama was six to 10 in Indonesia, not 5-8 years old.

Yeah thats what they do, breh. And if her daddy really said what he claims he said, he'd post it.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

95% links are articles created in 2020.

Yes, because people don't do deep dives into politicians' parents and pasts like that unless they run for national office. But I already pointed out to you that the article sources a 1983 book. Is the book fabricated too? And are all the confirmed Black radicals quoted in the article lying as well?

edit: I noticed that @thekingsmen wasn't exactly telling the truth about 95% of the sources being from 2020 either.

This 2010 article states that Kamala's parents were active in the Civil Rights Movement, that she was born in Oakland and raised in Berkeley, went to Howard due to its focus on social justice, and was named in the "Top 100 Most Influential African-Americans" by Ebony Magazine

This 2015 article states that Kamala's parents went to civil rights protests together, she grew up in a black neighborhood, was bussed as a black student, attended a Black Baptist church as well as a Hindu temple as a girl, that her mother raised her as a young Black girl, and that she went to a HBCU.

This 2009 article mentions growing up in Oakland, Berkeley, and Montreal and says she idolized lawyers in the civil rights movement as a child.

This 2016 article says her parents were active in the Civil Rights Movement when they met, then later mentions her going to a HBCU.

This 2016 article says she was surrounded by people in the justice movement, went to Howard, and while at Hastings became president of the Black Law Students Association

The rest of the sources were a mix of 2019 and 2020, which makes sense as people usually use the most complete, updated sources.

Btw...Obama was six to 10 in Indonesia, not 5-8 years old.

You're right, he had just turned 10 when he moved back to the USA. He was in Indonesia for 1st-4th grade.

So Obama was in Indonesia from 6-10, Kamala was in Black circles in Oakland/Berkeley from 0-12. But Obama's Indonesia experience counts and Kamala's Oakland/Berkeley experience doesn't.

 

[Still Benefited]

Does it really matter at the end of the day? She basically said she celebrated Kwanza as a kid. Not like she's still celebrating it today,locked up a bunch of black men,said shes not doing anything specefically for black people,and she's married to a white man. Shes come a loooong way from Kwanza

Yeah ok. Obama had book written on his life before he was even nominated president. Most public figures who been in the limelight has info on their parents background. All of her background is coming out in late 2020 is silly.

And you're saying she couldn't have done that before the divorce when she was 8? Or after she was 8 considering that her mother was intimately involved in the Black Power movement and raised her as a Black girl? We already have old receipts of her attending a Black church and being part of the local Black community center, why would it be so weird that her family would also do Kwanzaa when they literally were part of the same study group as the students who ended up started Kwanzaa?
