The Kwanzaa Hoax William J. Bennetta "Anywhere we are, Us is."
That looks like a line from an Amos 'N Andy show. One can easily imagine that it served as the motto of the Mystic Knights of the Sea, and that it was recited by such characters as The Kingfish, Andy Brown and Algonquin J. Calhoun.
In fact, however, the line that I have quoted is the motto of a real organization -- a real organization that was originally named United Slaves but now calls itself The Organization Us (or simply Us or US). It was created some 40 years ago, in Southern California, by a black racist who had begun life as Ron N. Everett but later had assumed the name Maulana Karenga.
Karenga -- known chiefly as the inventor of Kwanzaa, a fake "African" holiday that he contrived in 1966 -- has enjoyed a truly colorful career. He was a prominent black nationalist during the 1960s, when his organization was involved in various violent operations. He was sent to prison in 1971, after he and some of his pals tortured two women with a soldering iron and a vise, among other things. He emerged from prison in 1974, and a few years later -- in a maneuver that even The Kingfish might have found difficult -- he got himself installed as the chairman of the Department of Black Studies at California State University at Long Beach. CSULB wasn't the only American university that got the racial willies during the 1970s and set up a tin-pot black-studies department, but CSULB (as far as I know) was the only one that hired a chairman who was a violent felon.

Even the blacks don't take Kwaanza seriously. If you want to test my theory, walk up to to a black person, wish them Happy Kwaanza, and witness their reaction.
I did not know that.
Because the Democrats have them brainwashed and no one ever reminds them it's the GOP that has given them the most over-all... LBJ gets more credit than Lincoln.
I remember that skit.... funny as hell!
Oh. I forgot. He defended the other youth group, The Black Panthers.
I think proper ebonics grammer is "Anywhere we be, Us is."
Bump
