What exactly is a “black life”?
I mean, as opposed to a human life.

Kwanzaa is a fabrication of the communist mind. That’s all.

Try Christianity. It got you through slavery and Jim Crow. When you guys abandoned it, that’s when your real troubles began.

In under the wire, this might be the stupidest article I've read all year.

Why not go back to Africa, since they miss it so much. There are planes leaving every day. Of course, the free EBT cards and rent and medical care would stop, but think how great it would be if Blacks were in charge of everything. Bliss.

Apparently, the fools at the Guardian do not know the origin of Kwanzaa or know the truth about "Doctor" Karenga and his affectation for blow torches and torture of women.

An imaginary holiday conjured up by an ex-con.

Kwanzaa is a made up Holiday which I decline to observe. I don’t go out of may way to put people down who do observe it, as they usually are not approaching me for my opinion.
In this Bay Area, near S.F., one time I make sure I’m not driving late is Cinco de Mayo. Too many bad drivers going about on that night. Barachos y u poco enojado tambien. (Drunk, and a little bit angry too).
To: Steelfish
eBay actually has a ‘Happy Kwanzaa’ greeting on their home page...the only place I have seen it mentioned all day.

But,but,how can you argue with its logic? You see, the way to reduce the excessive violence and (black on black) murder in majority black neighborhoods is to “underpolice” them. What could possibly be wrong with that logic?

Pointless inanities are precisely that; of no use to anyone!! Precisely what of socio-cultural value has been engendered through application of the “philosophy” of Kwanzaa?

To be fair, the Bible was also bastardized to justify slavery.

What are you talking about? Christianity got African-Americans through slavery, Jim Crow and assorted troubles during their hard times. I don’t care if the bible has conflicting opinions on slavery; blacks took the whole of it as their gospel in America and it sustained them for 200 years.

Yeh....the doofus who created it was in my old hometown. They make a big thing of it for the little kids...playing games with their minds....pretty rotten if you ask me.

Wasn’t it some communist from Palo Alto who invented this nonsense?

I’ve seen less buzz about Kwanzaa this year, hopefully it will go away soon.
