Learn about Kwanzaa, it's worth celebrating (Gag Alert!)

Kwanza is totally bogus as it was made up out of thin air by an activist academic. It has NO roots and takes away from the real meaning of Christmas. If this professor guy wanted to make something up, why didn't he schedule it for Halloween?

[Redbob]

"I post these threads only to expose the fallacies and hypocrisies that are inherent within Kwanzaa. I hope that you can see all of this in my threads... "

It's pretty obvious to me;
some folks hereabouts do seem to have reading comprehension problems, though.

"Like other holidays that are celebrated predominantly by people of color."

Why is it ok to say "people of color" but not ok to say "colored people"? And what color are "non-black" people?

[Sundog]

Thank you so much for the info.

(I am still slightly galled by the comment I saw the MSM quoting from Pres. Bush, where he ever so humbly proclaimed, "Happy Kwanza!")

It shows how friggin stupid they are.

What a made up religion buy a criminal? Wait sounds like Islam. Anyway Kwanza is a joke.

[driftless2]

Kwanzaa is a fake, made-up holiday. If Kwanzaa can be a holiday, why not Festivus? In fact why can't anyone make up a holiday and have it treated as a real, traditional one? Politicians who honor a fraud like Kwanzaa should have their minds put right.

"people of color"

That phrase is another racist, divisive phrase dreamed up by usual gang of lib idiots. Although it is commonly used nowadays, it is a thoroughly hateful phrase. Like you said who are "people of color"? Everyone is a "person of color", but of course the people who originated that phrase have an ulterior motive. They want to create sides and further widen the gap between Americans of different ethnic backgrounds. The last thing they want is a unified country. It's curious that the people, libs, who scream the loudest about racism and discrimination do their darndest to try to create more of it.

[StoneColdTaxHater]

Kwanzaa has become so accepted now, God forbid you make any negative comments about it.

[Boris99]

Even though kwanzaa was created in the '60s it didn't really make it into prime time until the '90s. Slick Willy was the first Pres to issue a kwanzaa proclamation from the White House. Now that the cat is out of the bag, Pres Bush feels obligated to continue the "tradition" lest he be called a racist.

[sgtbono2002]

People of color are Colored people.

They took a phrase they didnt like added people and all of a sudden its ok.

Black people , Negroes, colored people. They dont know themselves what they want to be called. The most accepted term among their own comedians is the N word.

[SQUID]

Yeah, given enough time the Muslims will smash your Kwanzaa. That's how much you know about Muslims. The fact of the matter is, when you stop worshiping skin color is when you will be on the path to salvation for your soul.
You cannot serve two masters.

[Sundog]

You nailed it.

[Boris99]

I cringe any time I hear a politician, public figure, and particularly our President mention kwanzaa. Giving it equal weight with Christmas. In our PC culture these people feel they have to mention it or they will become front page cannon fodder with bold headlines of RACIST!!! The celebration is bogus and the only people that believe in it are self loathing, guilty, white, liberals, and militant blacks with chips on their shoulders.

Red, black, green and gold - - the colors from the Rastafarian religion, the woolen hats in the four Ethiopian colors, the shrines in those colors found in their yards and pictures of Haile Selassie... (A move by the Left to marginalize Ethiopian Jews?)

What you will not hear from these perpetual pro-marijuana masturbaters is that this “ganga” thing is related to the anti-caucasian and racist Rasafarian religion in Jamaica.

Their ideology is that white men are devils. Marcus Garvey in the early 1900's said an African King would become the black messiah. Ras Tafari was crowned King Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and proclaimed to be their messiah in 1930.

According to the Rastafarian pagans, Ras Tafari did not die in 1975, but went to another dimension. He is called “Jah” and considered to be a god. A pagan perversion of Christian theology.

Of course all of this lunacy is centered around smoking the ganga weed.

That is partly why these feminized males will defend pot smoking, drug abuse and deviant use of their anatomy and are not safe to have around children...

A great post...

To: Sir Francis Dashwood

Without touching on their use of MJ, the rastaferians ALSO pointed Haile being the last "Lion of Judah". It is noteworthy that there's a Biblical prophecy that when the last LOJ goes down, Ethiopia turns into a desert.

And, when Haile went down, the Northern core of the country was turned into a desert by its new Communist masters.

Kwanzaa... just another cultural Marxism like the Rastafarian pothead religion...

Now, look a Tookie's Rastafarian hairstyle and tell me if he is not considered a prince of among the New Age Neo-pagan idolators just like Mumia Abu Jamal...

Another source of amazement is the concept of those who hold candlelight vigils (yet another example of religious ceremony) for heinous murderers about to be executed, a large number of whom think it is acceptable to murder an unborn child without the benefit of a trial. Is the “right to life” of one responsible for much murder and mayhem more important than that of a truly innocent unborn child?

Perhaps we should call capital punishment “post-natal abortion” and identify abortion as a “pre-natal death sentence” or “pre-natal summary execution.”

Another example is Michael Jackson. With the undying support of his “fans” (or fanatics) in the face of his more than questionable activities concerning the abuse of children, they still hold him up as an idol. Jackson, both in his family life as a child and his adult life, is a modern extension of pedagogical pagan pedophilia of previous ages in ancient civilizations. Look at the macabre pagan elements of Jackson's video, Thriller. Michael Jackson now resides in Bahrain... coincidence?

Michael Jackson had Nation of Islam thugs as bodyguards escorting him after court appearances through the throngs of frenzied supporters. Is Jackson their new pharaoh? Nation of Islam is a militant racist cult. Their leaders, Louis Farrakhan (the numerologist) and Kahlid Abdul Mohammed, are known Jew haters. They also support many illogical and socially subversive Leftist political activities intent on tearing down the structures of Modern Western Civilization and capitalism. Why did they shower Tookie Williams with so much adoration?

There is a clear connection between modern neo-paganism and ancient paganism related to Islamic conflict with the Judaic roots of Christendom. A focus on how this is manifested in a modern sense only requires a look at pop-culture icons in entertainment, sports “heroes,” and attempts by the Left to use a pseudo-Christian sense of pagan moralistic idolatry to demonize political opposition. I present to you the attack on U.S. Senator Rick Santorum for his comments on sodomy as a useful example. A Sacred Cow, a golden calf.

Is it coincidence that many domestic social issues are being driven by cultic Leftist advocacy of unnatural, phantasmagoric perversity?

I treat you to an article in my home town newspaper, written in the most 'polyanna style' ignorant bliss 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!
