Juneteenth commemorates an actual event; whether or not it should be a Federal holiday is a separate issue.
Kwanzaa is a made up week-long celebration of what in the old days used to be called Negritude. If it weren’t so vehemently racist, it might be a reasonable celebration of seven virtues.
Those seven virtues form a framework of socialism. No thanks.
Two of those “virtues” are flat out Marxist BS:
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
the problem is that while Juneteenth is based on a real event, we already have politicians and others misrepresenting the holiday as the day slaves were freed nationwide, which is not true.
“Kwanzaa is a made up week-long celebration of what in the old days used to be called Negritude.”
Négritude is a framework of critique and literary theory, developed mainly by francophone intellectuals, writers, and politicians of the African diaspora during the 1930s in France, aimed at raising and cultivating “Black consciousness” across Africa and its diaspora. It doesn’t exist except in the minds of a few people in Africa and is not an American holiday. That was created by activist Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West and Southeast Africa. Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga, previously known as Ron Karenga, is an American activist, author, convicted felon and professor of Africana studies at Cal State San Louis Obispo at the time of the invention.

Kwanza is an American Black racist counter to the Too White Christmas and the Too White Jesus. Totally fake but promoted to help Democrat liberal agenda. It will not last.
Kwanzaa is a made up holiday created by a convicted murderer and socialist professor by the name of Ron Karenga.
He was also an FBI informant.
