My Triumph Over Kwanzaa! Ann Coulter Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Is it just me, or does Kwanzaa seem to come earlier and earlier each year?
This year, I believe my triumph over this synthetic holiday is nearly complete. The only mentions of Kwanzaa I've seen are humorous ones. Most important, for the first time in eight years, President George Bush appears not to have issued "Kwanzaa greetings" to honor this phony non-Christian holiday that is younger than I am.
It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI stooge, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers and a dupe of the FBI.
In what was probably ultimately a foolish gamble, during the madness of the '60s the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the organization, the better. Using that criterion, Karenga's United Slaves was perfect. In the annals of the American '60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.
Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek armed revolution. Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented "African" names. (That was a big help to the black community: How many boys named "Jamal" currently sit on death row?)
Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear. Curiously, in a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-of-factly explained that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for the "framed" murder of two whites included: "the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police Department" and so on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further noted that the evidence against O.J. "was not strong enough to prohibit or eliminate unreasonable doubt" -- an interesting standard of proof.)
In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the '70s, Karenga was quick to criticize rumors that black radicals were government-supported. When Nigerian newspapers claimed that some American black radicals were CIA operatives, Karenga publicly denounced the idea, saying, "Africans must stop generalizing about the loyalties and motives of Afro-Americans, including the widespread suspicion of black Americans being CIA agents."
Now we know that the FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's United Slaves shot to death Black Panthers Al "Bunchy" Carter and Deputy Minister John Huggins on the UCLA campus. Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as a black studies professor at California State University at Long Beach.
(Sing to "Jingle Bells") Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell Whitey has to pay; Burning, shooting, oh what fun On this made-up holiday!
Kwanzaa itself is a nutty blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life -- economics, work, personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.") It takes a village to raise a police snitch.
When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially explained that under Kawaida, we also hate whites. While taking the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" -- which one assumes would exclude the forced abortions, imprisonment of homosexuals and forced labor -- Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial identity "determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding." There's an inclusive philosophy for you.
Coincidentally, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another charming invention of the Worst Generation. In 1974, Patricia Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snake head stood for one of the SLA's revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani -- the exact same seven "principles" of Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa was the result of a '60s psychosis grafted onto the black community. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural nonsense that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga's United Slaves -- the violence, the Marxism, the insanity. Most absurdly, for leftists anyway, is that they have forgotten the FBI's tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa.
This is a holiday for white liberals -- the kind of holiday Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn probably celebrate. Meanwhile, most blacks celebrate Christmas.
Kwanzaa liberates no one; Christianity liberates everyone, proclaiming that we are all equal before God. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). Not surprisingly, it was practitioners of that faith who were at the forefront of the abolitionist and civil rights movements.
Next year this time, we'll find out if our new "Halfrican" president is really black or just another white liberal. If he's black enough to say the "brothers should pull up their pants," surely Obama can just say no to Kwanzaa.
Are we having fun yet?
“... the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek armed revolution”
absolutely wrong - who is this guy????
That's Ramadan
Kwanzaa has now been replaced with Obamzaa. Obamzaa will now be honored every Christmas in Kwanzaa’s place. Heck, even some counties have given their employees a holiday honoring Obamzaa.
The Panthers had a slogan that they used to utter every now and then: take ten when you go. Meaning kill ten white people before you are killed by the pigs i.e. police. They were virulently anti-American. Coulter must have had too many Chivas Regals before she wrote this article.
“In short what scripture is telling us in Matthew is that in the end times there will be race wars.”
Give it a rest. Matthew says nothing of the sort.
Of course, the End Times hawkers like Lindsey, LaHaye have written it in there, so I guess that makes it truth.
LOL... You wish it didn't say anything of the sort. Here's a news flash for you. So too does Mark 13 and Luke 21. That said I'll lay odds you do not believe the Bible to be the written word of God correct?
Did you even avail yourself to check out my post or is this just some knee-jerk reaction to something you don't want to accept?
“Halfrican” Good one. I like that as much as “Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers”.
“Halfrican”
I sgree. Good one.
My bet is that Kwanzaa will be the major celebration in the Obama White House complete with racist and anti-American preaching by Rev Wright.
“nation against nation” could be interpreted multiple ways. To say that it specifically says it’s a race war is reading way too much into the text.
Maybe when you look at current events you can squeeze them into prophetic scriptures but that’s a backwards way to do prophecy.
BTW, in Mark 13:2, the prophecy of the Temple being torn down, took place in 70 AD, just as prophesied. There was a band of gold between each of the foundation stones and when the Romans sacked the city they dismantled the stones to get the gold.
This prophecy has already taken place and wont’ be repeated — unless you believe in Double Reference prophecies. That’s the most absurd doctrine Lindsey and those guys have ever come up with. There is not a single instance in the Bible where a prophecy is foretold to take place multiple times.
Have a happy new year!
Your response is my favorite kind on FR.
It’s from someone who doesn’t know enough about a subject to prove you wrong, so they just say ‘you don’t know what you are talking about’.
Happy New Year to you, too.
Uh huh. I guess you told me.
