US slaves were from West Africa.

The word “Kwanzaa” is from Swahili, an EAST African language that has NOTHING to do with the ancestry of 95% of African Americans.

The entire thing is MADE UP.

They surveilled the communist criminal who made it up and while the shrink was out of the room cameras showed the guy CONVERSING WITH A NEARBY SWEATER.

The guy was literally NUTS.

The commy criminal who made up the holiday was a rapist—the holiday celebrates rape culture—too bad the feminazis are too dumb to figure it out...

I was hoping this story was going to be about their using a Chanukiah by mistake.

After all, the original kinara started out life as a Chanukah menorah.
