An identical soddering iron and drain cleaner. What’s even more bizarre, this alleged holiday isn’t even celebrated in Africa. As I understand he repeatedly burned this woman various places all over her body. This torture went on for a week. Funny way to celebrate Kwanza.
Really now...isn't the practice of religion a cultural thing? How do you separate the two?
Oh. Thanks
Screw Kwanza and the fools that celebrate this made up b.s. holiday.

...Brooks, who has hosted the first night of Kwanzaa for the past 12 years, maintains that the celebration is not religious.
Kwanzaa is a seven-day cultural event honoring black and African heritage. Each night is dedicated to different principles, including unity, self-determination and faith.
The reason why I care at all is because I live with my girlfriend (who is black) and her daughters. They know very little about Kwanzaa. I try to explain to her what it's all about and she just bristles and doesn't listen. Did I mention that sha's also a democrat but doesn't know why, she only votes for democrats without knowing anything about the issues, and although by practice she's more conservative than liberal, she denies it and does "her cultural duty" by supporting democrats and race hustlers.
Kuck Fwanza
Amazing! They want to use our government to establish a religion! They want to replace; “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14). “For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11). Wow!
Wise men came from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is He that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.” (Matthew 2:3). I guess it is because, “When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolis heart was darkened.” (Romans 1:21).
