Maybe I am wrong but it seems Kwanzaa is dying. I don't notice too many Happy Kwanzaa stuff on TV anymore.

Likewise. Thought it was over however yesterday’s riots in malls across America signified that people were out there doing their Kwanzaa shopping early.

Hard to believe 1966 was 50 years ago. Yikes!

Kwanzaa—the African tradition that even Africans don’t practice.

I worked with a nurses aid from Nigeria, she said that she had never heard of Kwanzaa till she came over here. She thought it was stupid.

‘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 piss 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!”

It is only alive in the minds of young, white, single grade school teachers.

Perhaps the anti-Kwanzaa column Ann Coulter reposts every December has done its work. Myself, I don’t see how people can get excited about a holiday “tradition” that is younger than me.

More than just phony-

This is just like the BLM “movement”- set up on a lie-

“Hands up don’t shoot”- as BLM is made up to get free stuff and bash anything white-anything.

Kwiwk-run-za- was made up -to bash Anything Christian
and indoctrinate libtards, and black people.

Truly Satanic in being- from a evil felon, who hates
all Christians.

It just doesn’t feel like Kwanzaa without watching the famous holiday classic, “Sandra Lee Bakes A Kwanzaa Cake”.

That's the first night of Kwanzaa: the ceremonial "Thuggery in the Mall", usually practiced in the Food Court and the Foot Locker.
