Kwanzaa—the African tradition that even Africans don’t practice.
remember....87% of black Americans can’t name the President of Africa
Born Ron Everett in July 1941, Professor Maulana Karenga has been Chairman of the Department of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, since 1989. An activist and Marxist, Karenga is best known for having created the holiday Kwanzaa in 1966.
"People think it's African, but it's not," he (Ron Everett, a.k.a., Maulana Karenga ) said about his holiday in an interview quoted in the Washington Post.
"I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of bloods would be partying."
