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...

KWANZAA: HOLIDAY FROM THE FBIJanuary 2, 2008 (NOTE: This is an updated version of a column by Ann Coulter that first ran several years ago in December.) Is it just me, or does Kwanzaa seem to come earlier and earlier each year? The same goes for the Iowa caucuses -- the early scheduling of which forced me to run an attack on a synthetic candidate, rather than a synthetic holiday, last week. I've seen so few mentions of Kwanzaa this year, I was going to declare my campaign a success, but I see that President Bush issued another absurd Kwanzaa...

Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic 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,...

BLACKS IN AMERICA have suffered an endless series of insults and degradations, the latest of which goes by the name of Kwanzaa. Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans. ...

A proposed Kwanzaa celebration at the County Commission chambers caused an e-mail war among Shelby County employees earlier this week. Now it has also prompted a lawsuit. Probate Court Clerk Chris Thomas filed a complaint in Chancery Court Friday to block the Kwanzaa celebration set to be hosted by County Commissioner Henri Brooks on Dec. 26. “The reason I filed the lawsuit is because of the discrimination against Christians, Jews and other faiths by allowing the Kwanzaa celebration to happen and by not allowing us to have a ceremony,” Thomas said. “I’ve asked Mayor (A C) Wharton to stop it...

SPOKANE, Wash. - They made a list, but they should have checked it twice. In a December newsletter to the families of elementary school students, Spokane Public Schools' list of "important dates" didn't include Christmas. Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter and Kwanzaa all made the list. But no Christmas. "It was absolutely an error of omission," district spokeswoman Terren Roloff said. "In our efforts to be inclusive, we missed the obvious." The omission drew complaints from some parents that in an age of political correctness, Christians are being overlooked...

Shot in Boston, with a cast of 42, it's a wonderful Kwanzaa December 16, 2007 While the Christmas film has been a staple of American cinema since George Bailey discovered it's a wonderful life, the African-American holiday of Kwanzaa, observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 each year, has been around for only about 40 years, and the cinematic pickings are much slimmer. That's why a Boston-based independent filmmaker believes he's breaking new ground with his movie. "Kwanzaa with the Jones's" will have its premiere Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline. The film is the...

Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how great Kwanzaa is by yet another PC spewing newspaper columnist. This year, among many others, the Houston Chronicle gets in the act with a piece by Leslie Casimir titled "Learning about Kwanzaa from the holiday's creator." This one, though, is a bit off the usual track of the how-great-Kwanzaa-is theme because this particular piece celebrates the inventor of the faux holiday, Maulana Karenga, himself. So, we've gone from merely celebrating this manufactured holiday to making a hero of the rapist, race monger...

I know I know, I must either be racist or insensitive or automatically both in the eyes of all liberals or the liberal inclined when I say this but I find it totally interesting that I am now living in South Africa and find NOTHING showing their attention to Dr. Maulana Karenga's Kwanzaa INVENTION. I have asked about it I get snickers and many 'deer-in-the-headlight' looks. Christmas is the order of the day during the holiday season. It is celebrated in the same way however even though the government of this country is in many ways corrupt the schools are...

BANGOR - The Bangor chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has canceled this year's Kwanzaa celebration after a 75-year-old man allegedly threatened to shoot chapter members. "It has been very scary," said chapter President Joseph Perry of Searsport. Kendrick Sawyer was named early this month in a civil complaint filed by the hate crimes division of the state attorney general's office. According to court documents, Sawyer apparently made statements to his doctor at the Togus VA Medical Center that he was "going to shoot any and all black persons that he saw attending a meeting...

EDITORIAL - For you religio-centric clods who haven’t yet expanded your celebratory horizons – and you know who you are – I bring a message of tolerance and inclusiveness: December 26 marked the start of Kwanzaa. As some know, this High Holy Week saw its birth 482 moons in the distant past, which means about forty years ago. It was founded by the Great Prophet, Maulana Karenga, who was born in the cradle of religion itself, Maryland. Like many deeply spiritual men, Karenga came from humble origins, christened Ron N. Everett and raised on a poultry farm. Perhaps it was...

I love Ann Coulter. And now that Ann Coulter has dissed the so-called African-American holiday called Kwanzaa, calling it "a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism," I love Ann Coulter all the more for being a white woman bold enough to diss a Kwanzaa celebration in a manner that I always thought but dare not spoke of. I get the Kwanzaa cards in the mail around Christmastime and never appreciate the attention they take away from the birth of Jesus. Kwanzaa supporters will say it's all complimentary, but like Ann Coulter writes, I believe we've been...

Forty years after its creation by a California professor, Kwanzaa got its first citywide celebration in Madison on Saturday amid conga drumming, dance, rap and poignant remembrances of deceased African Americans including "Godfather of Soul" James Brown and popular local television anchorman Mike McKinney. "There is purity in our hearts as we call on those who have gone before us to come into our midst as we celebrate this Kwanzaa event," organizer Godwin Amegashie told the gathering of about 250 people at Olbrich Botanical Gardens on the East Side. The names of dozens of recently deceased ancestors were read before...

We hear a lot these days about a divided nation. So I began wondering this week why our nation has begun to embrace a relatively new celebration known as Kwanzaa, which is not as innocent as it appears on the surface. Launched in 1966, Kwanzaa is celebrated for seven days, beginning Dec. 26. The weeklong festival was introduced by Ron Karenga (aka Ron Everett), a black author and Marxist devotee, who has a very dubious history. Mr. Karenga's Marxist roots should be a warning signal right off the bat, but there's more to be concerned about here. In 1969, on...

Kwanzaa -- the holiday began in 1967 by Marxist Ron Karenga, who would later serve time for felony assault for viciously torturing two women, then become chairman of the black studies department at California State University, Long Beach -- is this week. Do you know anybody who celebrates it? Yes No. I think more people celebrate Festivus.

Kwanzaa: Holiday From the FBIby Ann Coulter Human Events Posted Dec 27, 2006 President Bush's Kwanzaa message this year skipped the patently absurd claim of years past that: "African-Americans and people around the world reflect on African heritage during Kwanzaa." Instead, he simply said: "I send greetings to those observing Kwanzaa." More African-Americans spent this season reflecting on the birth of Christ than some phony non-Christian holiday invented a few decades ago by an FBI stooge. Kwanzaa is a holiday for white liberals, not blacks. It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI...

A mere 1.6 percent of Americans observe it, and it's been criticized as separatist and contrived, but Kwanzaa may be the perfect holiday for all Americans to rally around. So "Habari Gani!" Today is the third day of Kwanzaa. If you just took a second glance at my picture and decided "she's playing," I assure you I am not. Maulana Karenga, the college professor who founded Kwanzaa 40 years ago to encourage black Americans to reconnect with their African heritage, says all are welcome at the table. And why not? Africa, scientists say, is the motherland of us all. Christmas...

Pauline Foster's advice to her 11-year-old daughter, Nanyamka Graham, was simple: Shake it and smile. The two Lauderhill residents were part of the nearly 100 performers at the Kwanzaa celebration at Broward County's Main Library in Fort Lauderdale Tuesday night. Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday that celebrates family, community and culture, began Tuesday and ends Jan 1. Each day focuses on a different principle, and Tuesday's was unity. This year is the holiday's 40th anniversary. ''It's a family gathering,'' said 11-year-old performer Tameka Lewis, decked out in a bright pink costume. ``We learn about our black brothers and sisters and ancestors.''...

It amazes me that this Kwanza business has been washed of the real life criminal activity of its creator. The man was a race monger, a violent thug, a rapist, a torturer... just a horrible human being. Yet never a word of this man's evil is ever uttered when his pseudo holiday is discussed in the MSM. And the Cox News Service did it again on Christmas in theirs titled Kwanzaa glows even brighter after 40 years. Kwanzaa turns 40 today. The colorful holiday, invented by California professor Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, is like a jazz musician who fuses...

Learn about Kwanzaa, it's worth celebrating By Akilah Monifa COMMENTARY I CELEBRATE Kwanzaa, a holiday that honors family, community and culture. My family and I have done so for years. But five years after Sept. 11, in this climate of religious and cultural intolerance in America, I can sympathize with Muslims here who feel like outsiders. Many white Americans are suspicious and fearful of Kwanzaa. Like other holidays that are celebrated predominantly by people of color -- such as Ramadan, Juneteenth, Holi, Hispanic Heritage Month -- Kwanzaa ought to be an opportunity for those who are unfamiliar with it to...

Kwanzaa is Right Around the Corner LOS ANGELES, CA (CNS) -- The seven-day festival of Kwanzaa begins tomorrow, marking its 40th anniversary amid growing official acceptance and criticism of its authenticity and value. Maulana Karenga, a professor in Cal State Long Beach's Department of Black Studies, created Kwanzaa in 1966 in an attempt to reaffirm and restore blacks' ties to African culture, reaffirm and reinforce bonds among blacks and to introduce and reinforce the ''Nguzo Saba,'' the Seven Principles, according to the Official Kwanzaa Web Site, www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org. The Seven Principles are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose,...

Article published Dec 25, 2006 "Kwanzaa Not Catching on Despite Black Population" Cox said he and many other blacks respect the holiday, but there are barriers to its broader acceptance. Associated Press Columbia, S.C. | It has been four decades since Kwanzaa was created as an African-American celebration of family and community, but in that time it has not resonated widely in South Carolina, a state where one-third of the population is black. "I personally don't know a single person who celebrates the holiday," said Marcus Cox, founding director of the African-American Studies Program at The Citadel. The holiday was...

Blacks object to cows roaming near tribute to former slave By Olivia Munoz ASSOCIATED PRESS December 21, 2006 ALLENSWORTH – Basque immigrant Sam Etchegaray had two seemingly perfect swaths for two large dairies: 2,000 rural acres of dusty fields in the Central Valley where thousands of cows would be at home in the No. 1 milk-producing county in the nation. The only problem is the pastures were next to a state park that pays tribute to a freed slave who founded the community, raising the ire of environmentalists and blacks who objected to the pollution and stench that would come...

EAST ST. LOUIS — Its official start was still a week away, but the sound of traditional African drums Tuesday night gave proof that for some, Kwanzaa had already started. With a rousing performance, about seven members of Sunshine Lee and the Community Performance Ensemble kicked off the Eugene B. Redmond Writing Club's 20th annual Kwanzaa celebration at the East St. Louis campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Kids celebrate Kwanzaa Holiday: School lessons culminate in festivities honoring heritage of African-Americans.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue released the following statement today on the Christmas wars: “The secular crusaders who want to neuter Christmas say ad nauseam that the reason why we have to give more attention to holidays other than Christmas is due to the increasingly diverse composition of our nation and the world. But it is a hoax: the evidence is just the opposite. “According to Boston University professor Stephen Prothero, America now has more Christians than any other nation in history (Christian Science Monitor, 12-23-03). ‘In terms of religious background,’ writes Hoover Institution scholar Dinesh D’Souza, ‘America is no...

Much has changed since 1966, when Maulana Karenga founded Kwanzaa. "I remember people saying, 'Who does he think he is, starting a holiday?' " said Shirley Weber, a San Diego State University professor of Africana studies. "They questioned the right of us to determine who we are. They said, 'Ain't nobody going to do that.' " Now, 39 years later, millions of people of African descent around the world celebrate Kwanzaa. "Kwanzaa helps you every year to remind you of who you are," Weber said. Last night, about 150 people gathered to celebrate Kwanzaa, honoring their ancestors, roots and the...

Vince Arnold, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward) group chaplain, knows the importance of providing for all service members, regardless of religious preferences. “This time of a year the three main religious groups being Judaism, Christianity and Islam, trace back their genealogy to one person: Abraham,” The Newport, N.C. native said. “It’s interesting that we are in Iraq during this season because this...

Today's Chicago Tribune notes that Kwanzaa was created "by African-American scholar Maulana Karenga." A check of the Tribune's own archives discloses that he could have been characterized somewhat differently. On October 7, 1970 the newspaper reported: "Black militant Ron Karenga was arrested with three of his followers today on charges he tortured two young women with a soldering iron and a vise. . .Investigators said the women were held at gunpoint, forced to disrobe and were beaten. At one point, it was charged, Karenga forced a hot soldering iron inside the mouth of one of the victims while the other...

Kwanzaa, the African-American and pan-African celebration of family, community and culture, began with festivities of music, spoken words, togetherness and more throughout the region yesterday. This year's theme, "A Season of Celebration, Meditation and Recommitment," was heralded yesterday at places such as the Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn, where members of the Kwanzaa Collective gave out awards to those who had best exemplified the holiday's principles, to individual homes, where families lit the first candle on the kinara, or candle holder. "People interested in their culture want to celebrate the good about family, community and culture, which is...

Kwanzaa, the seven-day cultural celebration for people of African descent that began Monday, has come a long way since California activists created it nearly 40 years ago in the aftermath of the Watts riots in Los Angeles. "Like most holidays, Kwanzaa is now part of the American landscape," said Bill Jeter, a Twin Cities artist and teacher. Indeed, Kwanzaa is so mainstream that it has been featured on a U.S. postage stamp. Counselors use its "Nguzo Saba" - Swahili for "Seven Principles" - in treatment programs, and Kwanzaa "rite of passage" programs for young girls are fairly common. In short,...

As the holiday grows with greeting cards and citywide celebrations, some wonder whether it's losing the intimacy that once fueled it ON the table are children's books. Not Dick and Jane. Not Judy Blume. These are Afrocentric volumes about Kwanzaa, colorful hardcovers and paperbacks featuring dark-skinned children in African dress. "Look at these," Angela Lindsey says to her kids, Chrishonta, 10, and Jaques, 4, while at the SHAPE Community Center recently. "These are nice." Nice, but no sale. She's not there to buy Kwanzaa material. The single parent is a Houston Community College student and needs to use a computer....

BLACKS IN AMERICA have suffered an endless series of insults and degradations, the latest of which goes by the name of Kwanzaa. Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans. According to the official Kwanzaa Web site -- as opposed, say, to the Hallmark Cards Kwanzaa site -- the celebration was designed to foster "conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of Black Americans"...

(AP) Kwanzaa the Lion Celebrates Birthday Dec 26 2005 WACO, Texas The seven-day holiday of Kwanzaa began Monday, but the celebration started early at the Cameron Park Zoo. A South African lion named "Kwanzaa" celebrated his first birthday, and the weekend party included 10 pounds of horse meat fashioned into a cake, whipped cream and a carrot representing a candle. Kwanzaa was born at the zoo on Christmas Eve 2004, and now weighs more than 115 pounds. Zookeeper Manda Butler said Kwanzaa will be on display through January as crews prepare to send him to the zoo in Birmingham, Ala....

CHICAGO, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- The largest annual Kwanzaa celebration of African-American culture in the United States began Monday at Malcolm X College in Chicago. Ayoka Samuels, a consultant for the college's Kwanzaa committee said a major misconception is that about the seven-day festival is that it's meant to be "the black Christmas," the Chicago Sun-Times said. Samuels said many who celebrate it do substitute it for Christmas, and if gifts are exchanged, they must be either educational or a symbol of African heritage. Maulana Ron Karenga, now a professor of black studies at California State University, Long Beach, created...

Blacks should be outraged by attempts to stamp out Christianity from Christmas celebrations while accepting Kwanzaa as mainstream, says a black minister. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND, Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, and author of WND Books' "Scam," notes that while public school administrators and city officials attempt to ban nativity scenes, Christmas carols, candy canes and even Christmas trees from public places, Kwanzaa has been accepted as mainstream. While commonly viewed as an "African" holiday, observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, Kwanzaa actually was created in the U.S. in 1966 by Dr. Maulana...

The pendulum swings both ways. Last year in Denver, it was Mayor John Hickenlooper proposing to replace the city's traditional "Merry Christmas" sign with one that said "Happy Holidays." The mayor wisely backed off in response to the public outcry, as did the Parade of Lights, this year, reversing its policy barring religious floats. Earlier this month, Speaker of the U.S. House Dennis Hastert, issued a directive instructing the architect of the Capitol to drop the name "Capitol Holiday Tree" - adopted in the late 1990s under the authority of no one who's now willing to admit to it -...

While the U. S. Postal Service still issues a Christmas stamp, note the poster in many post offices advertising its seasonal stamps. At the top of the poster is an stamp featuring cookies. Then comes the Hanukkah stamp, only then the Christmas stamp, then the Kwanzaa and Eid (Moslem holiday) stamps. Here's the rub. All holidays are clearly labeled on the poster: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Eid--except for the Christmas stamp. That one is labeled "Madonna and Child." They won't use the "C" word on the poster (though it is used on the stamp).

Merry Kwahaneidmas, Breast Cancer, and Domestic Violence! By Red Square 12/19/2005, 12:36 pm This holiday season our warmest greetings go to the US Postal Service, an exemplary government-run organization, for issuing an official holiday poster that documents a positive paradigm shift in our national mentality.

CBN.com – PAT ROBERTSON: Well, ladies and gentlemen, when I first heard about Kwanzaa—I’ve been to Africa many, many, many times, in a number of countries, and I had never heard of Kwanzaa.
