The seven-day observance, beginning Dec. 26 and ending Jan. 1, serves as a special time to recognize and reaffirm the Nguzo Saba, or Seven Principles, of African culture. These are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith." As I type this, the murder rate in Baltimore for 2003, so far, is 264. By far, the perps and the victims are African-Americans.
Happy Kwanza.

Because GWB Is a Politician.. When you win by 575 votes anybody who is anything gets a nod.
Now...the distinction between a 'legitimate' holiday and a 'bogus ' one is merely numbers. If you have 500 adherents you are dangerous a cult. If you have 5,000 adherents you are a "misguided cult" if you have 50,000 adherents you are a cult like religion" 500,000 adherents and you are an' Emerging religion" 5,000,000 adherents and presidents and congressmen will say " Happy Uoogla Baramabam" if that is what you call your celebrations.

In keeping with the spirit of Kwanzaa, I mugged a wino and offered up his Muscatel in a ritual sacrifice to "Jobu"

I haven't had any problems at all with my Kwanzaa since I switched to boxers from briefs.

Well I feel kinda awkward imparting such wisdom on a child who isn't mine. ;) But I've really made a convert of her mom. Don't get her started on illegal aliens!

Kwanzaa is a pseudo-holiday created back in the sixties. It was originally proposed as a "black-nationalist Christmas."
When it was later discovered how popular Christmas was amoungst Blacks it was proposed as a parallel celebration.
Without going into too much detail, how it was defined pretty much provides the evidence of its ghetto origins as well as displaying the typical ignorance of the black nationalism movement including it's sequel known as Afrocentrism. First it's supposed to be a harvest festival, but harvest festivals don't exist during the winter in sub-Saharan Africa. The words it uses for it's principles are derived from Swahilli, which is a language hybrid of Arabic and East African Bantu. Almost all Blacks in the United States and the Western Hemisphere are of West African origin so Swahilli would've been totally foreign to their ancestors.
They use a cheap copy of a Menorrah with candles colored in the "black nationalist" colors. Besides being a complete rip off of Hanukkah, Africans didn't use candles, let alone colored ones.

He is a convicted felon sentenced five years after inventing Kwanzaa for torturing two black women by whipping them with electrical cords and beating them with a karate baton after stripping them naked. He placed in the mouth of one of the victims a hot soldering iron, also scarring her face with the device. He put one of her big toes in a vise, and detergent and running water in both of their mouths. Is that why Kwanzaa is 6 days long?
One day to commemorate the whipping with electrical cords.
One day to commemorate the beating with a baton.
One day to commemorate the placing of a hot soldering iron in the mouth.
One day for scarring the face with a soldering iron.
One day for placing toes in a vice.
One day for running water and detergent in the mouth.

I think K was invented by this guy and other radicals at UCLA. At the time it was trendy amongst radicals to learn swahili. What do you want, historical accuracy from an excon rebelling against The Man? LOL!

My disenchantment is exceeded only by my disgust at the perverse threats masquerading as logical arguments, used in attempting to bully me in to staying with the party!I'm feeling this way myself more and more. If I hear the word "amnesty" again, I don't know what I'll do! As it is, I've been seriously thinking of changing my affiliation from Republican to what is called "unaffiliated" here in NC. It may very well be time to go back to a more independent status.
Even the word "disenchantment," which accurately describes my thinking, is quickly becoming an understatement of biblical proportions.

'Twas the night before Kwanzaa
And all through the 'hood,
Maulana Karenga was up to no good.
He'd tortured a woman and spent time in jail.
He needed a new scam that just wouldn't fail.
("So what if I stuck some chick's toe in a vice?
Nobody said revolution was nice!")
The Sixties were over. Now what would he do?
Why, he went back to school -- so that's "Dr." to you!
He once ordered shootouts at UCLA
Now he teaches Black Studies just miles away.
Then to top it all off, the good Doctor's new plan
Was to get rid of Christmas and piss off The Man.
Karenga invented a fake holiday.
He called the thing Kwanza. "Hey, what's that you say?
"You don't get what's 'black' about Maoist baloney?
You say that my festival's totally phony?
"Who cares if corn isn't an African crop?
Who cares if our harvest's a month or two off?
Who cares if Swahili's not our mother tongue?
A lie for The Cause never hurt anyone!
"Umoja! Ujima! Kujichagulia, too!
Collectivist crap never sounded so cool!
Those guilty white liberals -- easy to fool.
Your kids will now celebrate Kwanzaa in school!"
And we heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight:
"Happy Kwanzaa to all, except if you're white!"

I wasn't able to concentrate on celebrating Kwanza,
I was too busy working with my accountants a toting up my reparations.
To: FlyLow
I missed Kwanza, I was busy celebrating Festivus. The airing of grievences was particulary good this year.
To: South40
Oh happy happy joy joy. A holiday by the Marxist, for the Marxist, and to the Marxist perveting reality. My only question is which Demorat has promised to go to Kwanza services at every, uh, er, mud hut in Africa to win votes?
