Unhappy Kwanzaa - the media are still falling for that fake holiday created by a felon
The Star Ledger ^ | December 26, 2012 | Paul Mulshine

Posted on 12/26/2013 3:09:19 PM PST by EveningStar

It's that time of year again. You know what time I mean - the time when the media promote that fake holiday created by a crazed california felon who wanted to create racial discord.

That's right - Kwanzaa.

Do a news search and you'll find hundreds of articles about wonderful Kwanzaa celebrations held all over America. Good luck finding a single one that mentions the sorry fact that the holiday's creator was imprisoned for torturing a couple of African-American women.

How do you pronounce the third ‘a’?

I plan on celebrating Kwanza with a pilgrimage to the birthplace of Kwanza in Long Beach, CA. I will partake in the traditional Kwanza sacraments of drinking the malt liquor, smoking Kool cigarettes, listening to hip hop, dribbling basketballs, and playing the knockout game. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. /s

I've actually noticed far fewer references to Kwanzaa in the mainstream media this year than in the past.

I think the word has pretty sufficiently gotten around about the history of this phony holiday and its inventory, and that it actually peaked a few years ago and is going downhill.

Was working on Nov/Dec’s cryptograms, from the American Cryptogram Association’s bi-monthly journal.

Several referenced the holidays - one pointed out how Kwanza celebrants often enjoy African foods brought to the US, like Sesame seeds, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and collard greens.

The thing is, of those only sesame seeds are native to Africa, and they were being grown in the Middle East more than 3,000 years ago. (Peanuts are native to Paraguay, Sweet Potatoes to Yucatan, Collard Greens were grown by the ancient Greeks.)

None of these were introduced to the US by Africans.

Which made the quotation very much, I think, in the spirit of Kwanza.

Dunno...
Used a Swahili translator and came in as "first" but it translated back without the third 'a'

and yet, the RNC dignifies the thing by issuing this ridiculous and spew worthy pandering statement.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3105480/posts

“I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating Kwanzaa,” said Chairman Priebus. “For families coming together to mark the occasion, I hope it is a joyous time of celebration with loved ones–and a time of meaningful reflection ahead of the New Year.”

“From December 26 through January 1, many families will take time to celebrate African culture and history. Kwanzaa is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to honor the importance of family and community, and it reminds us of the great diversity in America. Happy Kwanzaa!” said Co-Chairman Day

Don’t know why you’re dissin’ Kwanza. It’s just as legitimate as Festivus.

As a black man I'm not sure whether that greeting makes me feel insulted, embarrassed or merely revolted...well, we all feel that...hey! Maybe this is bringing us together.

I suppose one could add arabica beans, even though I believe Hawaii is the only state that actually grows them.

Then again, I doubt it was introduced by an African, or even a Brit, for that matter.
