Jonathan Capehart, liberal Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor, happens to be black and he thinks Kwanzaa is sort of a crock.
Kwanzaa is the African-centric celebratory season taking place between Christmas and the New Year, originally created by a guy who lived in Maryland.
The “holiday” receives a lot of marketing attention for politically correct reasons but very few black Americans actually observe it.

There was this guy in Europe back in the 1930’s who tried to revive all the ancient Nordic festivals for white folks. It didn’t work out so well.
(Repeat as often as possible):
‘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!”
The GAY Jonathan Capehart!!! Morning Joe has more gays than any show I’ve ever seen.
I guess I'm to the right of you, Ann ...
About the same number as mexicans, in mexico that is, celebrate sinko de mayo.
Kwanzaa is the crappy made up holiday that white liberals think black people should celebrate.
Kwanzaa is near death.
The next federal holiday will be Baraq Hussein Obama birthday / end of Ramadan on August 4th.
