Here’s a fact about Kwanzaa that liberals won’t tell you. Most Afro-Americans are descendants of people who came from west Africa, primarily Ghana.

But Kwanzaa is a holiday based upon the use of the Swahili language and traditions. Swahili is spoken by people in Southeast Africa.

Where Swahili is spoken is about three thousand miles from Ghana. So when making up Kwanzaa, Karenga was either ignorant of African geography and languages, or he was contemptuous of Afro-Americans, or (most probably) both.

My guess is folks like Barack Obama, whose father is from Kenya, would be happy with Kwanzaa though as Swahili is a language spoken there.

Giving people a controlled, made-up culture and history is the best way to control and subjugate them.

I’m surprised blacks haven’t grasped this.

Now there you go again, trying to confuse those black folks with the truth.

Swahili is a lingua franca, that is it is a pidgin potpourris of Arabic,Indian, French, English,Portuguese and what-not based on Arabic grammar up to a point. It's like other made-up languages in that it's very easy to get into, but turns into the real thing as you get more into it. r Read local papers and you'll have to study it like any other language.

People in Kenya mostly but NOT ALL speak Swahili (Kiswahili). The Masai would have your guts for garters if you tried it on them. The Luo, the Kikuyu, the Kamba, the Luhya tribes, are pretty much tri-lingual in that they speak English of a sort, Swahili, and their native language.

Swahili is pronounced sort of like Italian or Spanish with its "Rs" and vowels, etc., You can actually learn a lot from Berlitz on the flight over. Rosetta Stone? Finish that and you'll be talking like a native in two weeks. (Well OK, 6)

A good start for me? Tarzan Comic Books. You laugh? Twiga=Giraffe, Simba=Lion, Tembo=Elephant, Toto=Child, etc. E.G. Pain=Inaringa Sample Swahili Sentence. Ma tumbo inaringa. "My stomach hurts." "chest"= Matitty. NSS. Hard to take altogether seriously. We ain't talking Latin here.

Like a large proportion of African-Americans he probably thought Africa was a country.
