Barack and Michelle Obama hail Kwanzaa umoja
LA Times ^ | 12-27-10 | Andrew Malcolm

Posted on 12/27/2010 8:55:57 AM PST by WOBBLY BOB

Michelle and I extend our warmest thoughts and wishes to all those who are celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today [Dec. 26] is the first of a joyful seven-day celebration of African American culture and heritage. The seven principles of Kwanzaa -- unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith -- are some of the very values that make us Americans.

As families across America and around the world light the Kinara today in the spirit of umoja, or unity, our family sends our well wishes and blessings for a happy and healthy new year.

>> cooperative economics

Hey Odumbo — “cooperative economics” is NOT one of the values that made America great.

What’s more, it is mutually exclusive with self-determination and responsibility. Moron.

...collective work and...cooperative economics

This must be the kind of holiday that community organizers celebrate. What a warm and fuzzy feeling. Thank you, Chairman Obamao.

This is a prominent symbol on the official Kwanzaa webpage (first page hit on search)

What is it? some sort of Basket weave Swastika?

unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith...

These sure fit into a socialist view of the World, don't they? Self-determination seems a little counter to their vision, and creativity and faith are simple feel-good pap.

Yeah, this is a religion all right...

I'm sure all fourteen of those folks are very grateful for the Prezidizzles props.

Everybody get into the spirit of Kwanzaa. We’re all African now. Hey, that means this must be Africa. Where’s my US foreign aid money?

Kwanzaa, as well as the derogatory phrase “African-American”, are designed to keep black people down, a way for white liberals to remind the uppity black folk exactly what they really are, and who they are beholden to.

It must suck to be a black person in this country, and every day you get called African, just because of your skin color.
