This article is different than the others posted on FR because instead of looking at Kwanzaa from a political or social viewpoint, it comes from a Christian viewpoint. This article uses Karenga's own writings and statements to expose the true intent of Kwanzaa.

Oops, that might sound harsh. But you know HS was very common in the old days. It might still be in some of the less well-illuminated corners.
Kwanzaa is Marxist claptrap, designed to teach communist principles to Blacks, and to divert their attention from Christmas.
Kidding, just kidding. I don't think a white boy like me would be welcome to join the festivities anyhow.
"Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism."
Not being,
human sacrifice as currently practiced (The Negro people are their biggest customers) is provided in all "enlightened countries" by Planned Parenthood.
I am new to this website. However, I agreed with your view point and I appreciate the time you spent writing it. We should as Christains celebrate Jesus and Jesus alone in everything we do. If we want to appreciate our heritage or culture it shouldnt be done that way. What people need to realize is that God is Lord of ALL people of race. I cant believe how many churches celebrate this. This is exactly why when Christ comes back many people will say that they called out demons in His name but will be rejected. People have become so intuned with religious practices and traditions its sad!! I dont put up a ‘christmas tree’ nor will I EVER teach my children or other children that santa exist. I am so upset that people in this economy who cant afford gifts spend their rent money for a gift for their child instead of using the money wisely because they dont want the child to be the only one without a gift. It’s not about that!! In no way I am saying its wrong to buy gifts for Christmas day because even Jesus was given gifts when he was born BUT it shouldnt be the focal point of why we celebrate this particular holiday. One more thing...Christmas should be referenced as Merry ‘Christ’mas and not Happy Holiday. I wish I would get to the point of saying that. lol!
