Helpless black women, no less. And you can bet your behind that most of the female Kwanzaa-boosters in the above article are feminists.
Radical lefties can be misogynists and even torturers and murderers, and the press and academia don't care as long as they espouse the proper ideology. You never, ever hear about elementary school teachers telling the little kiddies about Ira Einhorn chopping up his girlfriend and storing the pieces in a trunk, when they're pushing Earth Day on them. What the Earth Day founder was just isn't important to them.
I took the liberty of telling my nine-year-old stepkids that Kwanzaa was a completely non-African holiday invented by a communist who liked to torture women and spent time in prison for it. I had to do this, because they were singing a Kwanzaa song in their multiculti Holiday concert. I also warned them that this was one of those things that was "true, but controversial" so they might get into trouble if they tried to enlighten their teachers about it.
Can you believe it, their teacher had some kid introduce the song with "Kwanzaa is an African holiday"? Obiously the teacher didn't know better, or maybe didn't care. Makes me want to go out and kick walls.
My first-grader was told by his teacher that Kwanzaa orignated from Southern African harvest festivals, and was required to make that minora-thingie from paper. We very quickly objected, on the basis that we never saw anything of the like while living there, and he was excused from further Kwanzaa indoctrination.
She goes on to point out that:
Coincidentally, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another charming invention of the Least-Great Generation. In 1974, Patricia Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snake head stood for one of the SLA's revolutionary principles: Umojo, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani -- precisely the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa.
With his Kwanzaa greetings, President Bush is saluting the intellectual sibling of the Symbionese Liberation Army, killer of housewives and police. He is saluting the founder of United Slaves, who were such lunatics that they shot Panthers for not being sufficiently insane -- all with the FBI as their covert ally. It's as if David Duke invented a holiday called "Anglica," and the president of the United States issued a presidential proclamation honoring the synthetic holiday. People might well stand up and take notice if that happened.
I always like to know how other people handle stuff like this, especially people like us.......LOL.
I'm going to keep the way you handled it in mind. I would guess your approach is much better than mine would be: "What a bunch of BS!!!"
Y'all might keep this FReepers words in mind before the next time you go ballistic when some radical SOB like me cautions you that your nation is well down the slippery slope to totalitarianism.
