Obviously, Akilah Monifa from the Progressive Media Project needs to learn some more about her "holiday" Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by convicted felon and radical Marxist activist/professor Dr. Ron "Maulana" Karenga.
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.
So Akilah, how does being "whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes" and "a hot soldering iron was placed in (to) the mouth and placed against the face" and having one's "big toes was tightened in a vise" honor family, community and culture?!?!
*****Many white Americans are suspicious and fearful of Kwanzaa
"in this climate of religious and cultural intolerance"
There are many African-Americans who hate Jews, and venerate Muslims for no particular reason. They neglect the historical fact that Muslims have been no friends of black Africans.
That fact alone ought to tell the Kwanzaa pushers something. But then, to paraphrase our local talk show host, modern liberalism is standing on your head and telling the rest of the world that its upside down.
After we get them separate holidays, can we get them separate water fountains, as well?
</pretend racism>
Dog you can post all the b.s. you want on this celebration called kwanza. Still no one with half a brain who understands tradition will support this trash.
Kwanza is a made up celebration.
MOst Christian blacks will support their Christian teachings. Those with some ax to grind will support this crap.
If you ask a real African IN AFRICA about Kwanza they usually just laugh at you and say something like, "You crazy Americans."

If you want on (or off) this Catholic and Pro-Life ping list, let me know!
Wait till the African Americans find out who has been exterminating Black Africans in the Sudan for going on thirty years.
Bear in mind that this is not war, it's simple genocidal slaughter of innocent citizens including babies and the elderly.
Three guesses.
Look it up. Then ask your own leaders why they want you to believe this incredible hoax.
As opposed to the Middle East, of course.
another made up holiday...just like the made up language of ebonics!!!!
try to find 10 people on the whole african continent that has ever heard fo this farce....
actually...in the US...more people have heard of festivus than kwaanza!!!!
wonder if MLK had kwaanza as part of his dream????
No, it's not.
Now this guy is an expert in mental disorders of people of European descent too? Most whites I know are neither suspcious or fearful of "kwanzaa". They realize its a commie holiday made up by some mentally ill sexual deviant. What's to celebrate? Most whites, and 98% of the blacks think the whole thing is stupid. Only the media celebrates "kwanzaa", so it looks more important than it is. It would have died out in a prison toilet if some liberal journalist hadn't heard of it.
The Truth About Kwanzaa

Hopefully, the media will quit whipping this dead horse in coming years. I know and have spoken with a lot of African-Americans - NONE of them celebrate this phoney ****day!!
(I refuse to associate "holi" and "day" with this phoney ca-ca!)
I just love Akilah's writing. I look forward to everything he writes. Or is it she?
