Politically correct lefties like to mention Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all in the same breath, implying that they are equally legitimate holiday celebrations enjoyed by different groups. Christmas and Hanukkah both have rich histories to back them up, and millions of people celebrate these holidays worldwide; but does anybody actually celebrate Kwanzaa? Liberals are absolutely in love with the concept of Kwanzaa as the Black Americans' alternative to Christmas; but do any Black Americans actually celebrate it?
Kwanzaa is a holiday that was invented by a left-wing activist college professor in 1966 as a holiday for Black Americans to celebrate African culture and practice the tenets of socialism. How many black families were actually willing to abandon their Christmas traditions in favor of this new holiday, made up willy-nilly by a radical campus nutjob? If anybody on this forum has ever actually met somebody that celebrates this holiday, I'd love to hear about it. I have a sneaking suspicion that next to nobody celebrates it.
If you'll recall, some number of years ago a Texaco executive was canned after being recorded making a disparaging comment about Kwanzaa. Today, to make a joke about Kwanzaa is considered no better than delivering a racial slur; but shouldn't bogus socialist holidays----as a general rule----be soundly ridiculed? I'm curious what people's thoughts are on this one...particularly black contributors to this forum. Liberals act like all black people celebrate Kwanzaa, but all the black people I know celebrate Christmas.
Ron Everett (aka. Maulana Karenga), the leader of a violent racist gang of black Marxist thugs called US attempted to create a religion called Kawaida. Kwanzaa is an offshoot of that religion. Both were intended as an alternative to Christianity, which Everett (aka. Maulana) calls "spookism".
The racist observance was invented around the same time Everett was in prison for torturing two teenage girls. Everett and an associate had suspected the girls, who lived in a commune with him, of putting "crystals" in his food and had tortured the girls overnight by forcing them to disrobe, eat caustic detergeant, putting their toes in a vice, whipping them with an extension cord, and burning them and their various orifices with a soldering iron. He did at least 5 years in prison for this crime.
Later, at a meeting in a UCLA student union lunch room about who would run the new black studies program, some members of the rival Black Panthers heckled Everett during his presentation. After the meeting, Everett's gang shot and killed 2 of those same Panthers before they could leave the building.
Everett went on to capitalize on his violent, racist history and tendencies and his Marxist worldview (he is a self-described Marxist) to qualify for the position, which he hold to this day, of head of the black studies program at UC-Long Beack.
Kwanzaa was designed to spread Everett's bizarre religious and Marxist beliefs. It is a sham. There is no harvest nor harvest festival in December in Africa. No tribe in Africa celebrates anything remotely similar. Only a small piece of Africa knows Swahili. Maize is not an African crop. Etc. You should have the picture by now.
The 7 themes or ideas of Kwanzaa are racially/culturally divisive and even Marxist by design. They are the same identical tenets used by the Symbianese Liberation Army, the terrorist group who kidnapped Patty Hearst and murdered at least one security guard.
Rotten man. Rotten holiday. Rotten ideas.
Great idea! Mr. Robinson, what date did FR officially go online ?
To be honest ..I have never questioned them as to why they celebrate Kwanzaa ..
Kind of like they don't question the holidays that I celebrate.
LOL--
As the night winds down, someone always gets up in the middle of the restaurant and yells "Festivus isn't over until you pin me."
What's funny is, we decided to do a Christmas dinner every year and every year it just happened to fall on Dec 23, so we decided to call it Festivus and engage in the traditions handed down from Seinfeld.
No wonder Liberals celebrate it and their fellow-traveling Plantation Blacks jealously love it!
Based on recent statistics regarding out of wedlock births, black on black crime, etc. this doesn't seem to be working.
