Black Minister Says Blacks Should Celebrate Christmas and Reject Kwanzaa
Los Angeles— “Black Christians should be outraged by recent attempts to stamp out Christianity from Christmas celebrations,” said Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND (Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny). There have been numerous reports from across the country of public school administrators and city officials attempting to ban nativity scenes, Christmas carols, candy canes, and even Christmas trees from public places. Yet, the ‘African’ holiday Kwanzaa has become accepted as mainstream. Kwanzaa is taught in public schools, recognized by corporations, and even President George W. Bush issued a proclamation celebrating Kwanzaa in 2002.
Rev. Peterson said: “Kwanzaa is an anti-God, anti-American, and anti-white holiday created by a black felon. Kwanzaa only serves to further separate blacks from God and America. Black Christians should stop celebrating this pagan holiday—instead, they should stand up for Christmas. ”
Observed from December 26 to January 1, Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana “Ron” Karenga as a holiday to help blacks get in touch with their African roots. Karenga was also the head of head of United Slaves Organization, a Marxist black power group. In 1970, Karenga was arrested and charged with conspiracy and assault in the torture of two of his female followers. Karenga was convicted and served four years for the crime.
Rev. Peterson said: “If black Christians don’t stand up for Christmas and reject Kwanzaa, they are allowing evil to have its way. They will regret using a fake holiday to stamp out the true meaning of Christmas.”
BOND is a nationally recognized religious nonprofit organization whose purpose is “Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man.” Founded in 1990, BOND has helped countless individuals and families from across the country overcome some of life’s most challenging problems.
