This is what the founder himself, Ron Karenga, had to say about Kwanzaa in a Washington Post interview of many years ago:

"People think it's African, but it's not. I came up with Kwanzaa because Black people 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 are partying."

So, should people who celebrate Kwanzaa be called Black Separatists?
