It’s kujichagulia time again, apparently.
As you doubtlessly know if you have a child with a woke teacher, Kwanzaa is yet again upon us. On Monday, the non-denominational celebration of African-American heritage began; the seven-day festival runs through Jan. 1, celebrating one principle of the black American experience each night.
Not that many even celebrate, mind you. In 2019, USA Today found that of those planning to celebrate a winter holiday, only 2.6 percent would be celebrating Kwanzaa. In 2012, NPR even asked, “Is Kwanzaa Still A Thing?”
Short answer: Yes, but only for the crowd that listens to NPR, which also means the crowd that the Biden-Harris White House cares about.
Thus, it’s little surprise both the president and vice president released messages marking the holiday season.
“In 2023, it’s our hope that we’ll all remember the wisdom of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, especially the values of unity and faith, as we work to make the promise of our nation real in the lives of every American,” he said.
