Ron Karenga stands outside courtroom in Los Angeles (Calif.) May 29, 1971. Typewritten caption on the negative's paper wrapper reads: Ron Karenga enters courtroom where he was found guilty on four counts.In 1971 Ron (sic Maulana) Karenga, Louis Smith, and Luz Maria Tamayo were convicted of felony assault and false imprisonment for assaulting and torturing two women from the United Slaves, Deborah Jones & Gail Davis. A May 14, 1971 article in the Los Angeles Times described the testimony of one of the women: "Deborah Jones, who once was given the Swahili title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. She testified that a hot soldering iron was placed in Ms. Davis's mouth and placed against Ms. Davis's face and that one of her own big toes was tightened in a vise. Karenga, head of US, also put detergent and running hoses in their mouths, she said." They also were hit on the heads with toasters.
At Karenga's trial, the question arose as to Karenga's sanity. It is theorized that Karenga may have had a mental breakdown due to the stress of dealing with the violence and murders surrounding his United Slaves (US) organization and the Black Panther Party (BPP). His behavior became bizarre. And, at his trial, a psychiatrist's report stated the following: "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."

Actually, what I said was:” Is it wrong of me to say that I love AFRICA, but I think Kwanzaa is wack? #ducksfromthebricks .”
Africa and kwanzaa have absolutely NO connection whatsoever.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
“Beyond that, is it possible to love Africa and not celebrate Kwanzaa?”
NO!
You are doomed to be known as Whitey wannabe for the rest of your life.
Kwaaanza was made up to take Christ out of Christmas.
kwanzaa is garbage.
spit!
When I explained he shook his head and said, "Americans are very strange, why do they not just have Christmas like we do?"
As ridiculous as Kwanzaa is even on the surface, most people don’t realize how truly depraved it is. Aside from Karenga’s criminality is the fact that the seven supposed principles of Kwanzaa are identical to the seven principles that the Simbionese Liberation Army espoused. Remember them? They were the terrorist/criminal organization that kidnapped Patty Hearst.
Additionally, though the seven Kwanzaa principles are given Swahili names to celebrate the heritage of west Africans there is just one little problem: Swahili isn’t spoken in west Africa! This alleged holiday is a pathetic joke and deserves to be ridiculed at every opportunity,
That “teacher” graphic is a real hoot! Thanks! LOL!
The author is a muslim, so of course he thinks Kwanzas is wack. He probably thinks Christianity is wack. And don’t forget Judaism.
Love that pic of theelemenary school teacher lighting the candles.
It’s *so* true!
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.
On the second day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the third day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Three Dixie Chicks.
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the fourth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Four Lenin busts.
Three Dixie Chicks,
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the fifth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Five fel-on-ies.
Four Lenin busts,
Three Dixie Chicks,
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the sixth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Six Castro jumpsuits.
Five fel-on-ies,
Four Lenin busts,
Three Dixie Chicks,
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the seventh day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Seven Mao pajamas,
Six Castro jumpsuits,
Five fel-on-ies,
Four Lenin busts
Three Dixie Chicks,
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.

‘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!”
Thus, the fake holiday ... and where better to sell it than to white liberals in academia?
I agree with the main point of the article, but I can’t stand that stupid slang.
stepping back in time...

“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.”
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.
