President Joe Biden commemorated the seven-day holiday honoring African heritage and Black American culture.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their spouses wished a happy Kwanzaa to those celebrating, as the first day of the holiday honoring African heritage and Black American culture kicked off on Monday.

“Jill and I wish everyone a happy Kwanzaa,” Biden said in a video with the first lady, adding that they “give thanks to the rich heritage of African Americans, which is deep in the story of our nation.”Since its creation in 1966, Black families have celebrated Kwanzaa every year from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1. The holiday is based on the first fruit celebrations and cultures throughout Africa, and is meant to unite Black Americans in community.

“During this celebration, millions will gather with their families to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the past and look towards a brighter future,” Jill Biden said. “With each candle you light, we hope your home is warmed by the laughter of your family and friends, your hands are inspired to creativity, and your heart is filled with determination, faith and love.”

Figures....he hates white people.

I'm more than sure anyone of any color can celebrate a holiday created in the 60s by a guy who tortured women.

Check out this short film! They shot it from the perspective of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Tamir Rice being white and killed by black cops! It really makes you think.

According to TeamPelosi it’s “Shwanza” Should we get someone to fact check?

Kwanzaa is the oldest holiday on the planet! Please fact-check me. It may finally result in you guys pulling your head out of your ass.

This is one reason why joey the shark is so loved! You go Joey!

How many generations do 'African-Americans' have to LIVE in America before we can just refer to them as 'Americans'?

Didn’t the guy who created kwanza kidnap a girl?

Jim Crow religion?

What a misleading headline! He wished those that celebrate. How divisive. Anyone can celebrate

Did Joe Biden Once Say He Was Conservative About Most Issues Except Civil Rights?✅ True. In 1974, Joe Biden said, “When it comes to civil rights and civil liberties, I’m a liberal but that’s it. I’m really quite conservative on most other issues.” Is that a picture of 1974 Joe? ... and funny enough, he really *is* more of a moderate conservative, same as Shumer & Pelosi. Trouble is that today's self-described 'conservatives' won't ever acknowledge that b/c they themselves have become reactionaries & fascists, but still need that label to hide behind. This is why it's so funny when conservatives try to pretend he's a socialist. Closer to being a moderate Republican than anything.

Many nursing homes are poorly staffed. How do they get away with it?Regulators have allowed thousands of nursing homes across America to flout federal staffing rules by going an entire day and night without a registered nurse on duty, a USA TODAY investigation has found. Why anybody puts their parents in a nursing home ill never understand. Don’t forget that states can make regulations more strict if they wanted. They know there are staffing issues in nursing homes but rather than addressing them, they cover their eyes. We were told if we couldn’t prove outcomes, then we couldn’t cite nurse staffing in my state. any pimp / drug dealer can teach a drug addict in 10 minutes how to use a needle ; have a 2 hr nurse course ; f=====g bingo
