Swahili is spoken in a part of Africa where none of the ancestors of American slaves lived. Using words from Hausa or Wolof or another West African language would make better sense.

Some whites probably pretend to support Kwanzaa out of fear of being called racist if they don't, and others probably support it for real because of the socialistic flavor of the messaages Kwanzaa propagates.

The author is a muslim, so of course he thinks Kwanzas is wack. He probably thinks Christianity is wack. And don’t forget Judaism.

He should have included Festivus as well; just as real.

I’m sure he doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of “airing of grievances” or “feats of strength”, though.

Worked with a black woman who was at UCLA when he was terrorizing the campus. She was down with the cause and ran with the panthers until she graduated and got a real job.

She said Kwanzaa was just an attempt to butt into the white holiday season, as this guy saw it.

She thought it might have caught on more except nobody really gave the guy the time of day except his wannabe entourage. They stayed away from him because he was considered a psycho.

Found this last year:

By Kathy Shaidle

‘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 pizz 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!”

"This man now represents a picture that can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and illusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment."

Thus, the fake holiday ... and where better to sell it than to white liberals in academia?

Someone should start a pool to place bets on which scam will disappear first; Kwanzoo or Globull Warming.

I agree with the main point of the article, but I can’t stand that stupid slang.

“Kwanzaa: Holiday from the FBI”
by Ann Coulter
Dec 27, 2006

SNIPPET: “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 pawn, 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.”

“The TRUTH about Kwanzaa”
by Tony Snow

SNIPPET: “http://www.jewishworldreview.com — 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.”

SNIPPET: “Our treatment of Kwanzaa provides a revealing sign of how far we have yet to travel on the road to reconciliation. The white establishment has thrown in with it, not just to cash in on the business, but to patronize black activists and shut them up.”

SNIPPET: “But our strength, as Richburg points out, comes from real principles: tolerance, brotherhood, hard work, personal responsibility, equality before the law. If Americans really cared about racial healing, they would focus on those ideas — and not on a made-up rite that mistakes segregationism for spirituality and fiction for history.”

Ron Everett (Maulana Karenga) is really a piece of work. He started out as a right wing nationalist but later became a Marxist, because the Left currently supports right wing nationalism for Africans and other "oppressed peoples."

He's also an oddball because he claims to love Africa while subscribing to eighteenth century European enlightenment rationalism. How many Africans (or other "indigenous pipples") are European enlightenment-style materialists? Uh-huh. Yet he actually barred any non-materialist atheist from joining his organization, which means most Africans could not join!

Isn't it amazing how the Left (the most western, European ideology in the world) claims to love "indigenous pipples?" How many "indigenous" leaders are uncle toms who wrap European rationalism in native clothing?

“Can I love my Blackness and still think Kwanzaa is rich in wackness?”

Is there any way that loving your “Blackness” (sic) is not rich in wackness?

Stepping away from Kwanzaa is a good start. Now step away from things you would find obnoxious or loony in a white man.

this “holiday” is anti-Christ, it takes away the Christmas message for secular marxism, as many are Christians, the blacks should be outraged and boycott this fraud.
