On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented by a Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up “African” name Maulana Ron Karenga to show the world he wants nothing to do with White America.
That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one to ten year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the Times. They didn’t want to talk about how their new hero had been certified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court, so they didn’t. Karenga calls his new “holiday” Kwanzaa, a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits” because he maintains it is a harvest festival. The truth, however, has a very different ring. Kwanzaa is Karenga’s answer to Christmas. He would like nothing better than to see Kwanzaa actually become the “Black Christmas” he has always fantasized about.
In his 1977 book on Kwanzaa, Karenga said it “…was chosen to give a Black alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant [White] society.”
Upon hearing of the new “holiday”, a young unknown Al Sharpton commented that Kwanzaa “would perform the valuable service of “de-whitizing” Christmas.” The idea that Kwanzaa is a harvest festival is bogus. Harvests don’t happen in December, not even in Karenga’s make believe version of Africa. The closest thing to a Kwanzaa like festival in Africa is the Yam Festival held yearly in Ghana and Nigeria at the beginning of August, yet Kwanzaa is celebrated each year between December 26 and January 1.
A 1978, Washington Post article included this Karenga admission about his “holiday”

“...de-whiting Christmas...” HA! HA! HA!
Oh, geeze, I forgot... blacks CAN’T be racist... silly me...
Hey Al, Jesus was a JEW, born in ISRAEL! -Not a white guy, pal!
It really hasn’t been killed.
I heard more about Festivus than Kwanzaa this year.
I am so sick and tired of the Black Pity Party.
CHRISTMAS only dies if Christians let it die. Once again, we, Christians, need to stand up and be heard. I wished every retailer a “Merry Christmas” this year and almost every one of them replied in kind. But...no one was (or seemed) offended by it.
A belated Merry Christmas to all and a safe and blessed New Year to you and yours...
What would really be great would be if Sharpton and his worthless followers were to all go back to the Motherland—leave mean old “Amerikkka” forever and have 365 Kwanzaa days a year back in Africa. One big vibrant festival.
I’d be all for monetary reparations for slavery if it included renunciation of US citizenship and a one-way ticket back -I’m serious as a heart attack.
It’ll never happen for two reasons #1—Even the most deluded knows deep down what the reality would be over there.
#2 The thought of how much better the United States would be after we finally said bye bye.
i will donate to your fund.
off to Liberia then!
I could not believe the paper in Macon, Ga where I was for Christmas had the kwanza doings about town listed of each of the stupidly named days. Including Black Power Tuesday ( I kid you not) where you are only supposed to buy from black businesses. Idiots.
I saw only one article about the fake holiday in the San Jose Mercury News! That’s a pretty good barometer.
A black gentleman was handing out some fliers at the entrance to Home Depot on 12/26 and wished me “Happy Holidays.” I shook his hand and said “No, my man, it’s Merry Christmas.” He was really taken aback and kind of mumbled Merry Christmas in return. I asked him what he was handing out and he said it was a flier with all sort of “Eco” Christmas Specials. I gave it back to him and said “Sorry, I don’t believe in that sh_t either.”
Over the week of Christmas, I saw no graphics on my local Reno TV stations saying Merry Christmas.
Yet- on Saturday, there was a graphic about Kwanza.
I can tell you for sure- Blacks are NOT the majority in the Reno population!!!
