Kwanzaa: A Holiday From the FBI
by Ann Coulter
President Bush's 2005 Kwanzaa message began with the patently absurd statement: "African-Americans and people around the world reflect on African heritage during Kwanzaa."
I believe more African-Americans spent this season reflecting on the birth of Christ than some phony non-Christian holiday invented a few decades ago by an FBI stooge. Kwanzaa is a holiday for white liberals, not blacks.
It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI stooge, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers and a dupe of the FBI.
In what was probably ultimately a foolish gamble, during the madness of the '60s the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the organization, the better. Karenga's United Slaves was perfect. In the annals of the American '60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.
Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek armed revolution. Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented "African" names. (That was a big help to the black community: How many boys named "Jamal" currently sit on death row?)
Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear. Curiously, in a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-of-factly explained that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for the "framed" murder of two whites included: "the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police Department" and so on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further noted that the evidence against O.J. "was not strong enough to prohibit or eliminate unreasonable doubt" -- an interesting standard of proof.)
In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the '70s, Karenga was quick to criticize rumors that black radicals were government-supported. When Nigerian newspapers claimed that some American black radicals were CIA operatives, Karenga publicly denounced the idea, saying, "Africans must stop generalizing about the loyalties and motives of Afro-Americans, including the widespread suspicion of black Americans being CIA agents."
Now we know that the FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's United Slaves shot to death Black Panthers Al "Bunchy" Carter and Deputy Minister John Huggins on the UCLA campus. Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as a black studies professor at California State University at Long Beach.
Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life -- economics, work, personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.") It takes a village to raise a police snitch.
When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially explained that under Kawaida, we also hate whites. While taking the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" -- which one assumes would exclude the forced abortions, imprisonment for homosexuals and forced labor -- Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial identity "determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding." There's an inclusive philosophy for you.
(Sing to "Jingle Bells")
Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell Whitey has to pay; Burning, shooting, oh what fun On this made-up holiday!
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: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani -- the same 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 "Anglika," 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.
Kwanzaa was the result of a '60s psychosis grafted onto the black community. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural nonsense that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga's United Slaves -- the violence, the Marxism, the insanity. Most absurdly, for leftists anyway, is that they have forgotten the FBI's tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa.
Now the "holiday" concocted by an FBI dupe is honored in a presidential proclamation and public schools across the nation. Bush called Kwanzaa a holiday that promotes "unity" and "faith." Faith in what? Liberals' unbounded capacity to respect any faith but Christianity?
A movement that started approximately 2,000 years before Kwanzaa leaps well beyond merely "unity" and "faith" to proclaim that we are all equal before God. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). It was practitioners of that faith who were at the forefront of the abolitionist and civil rights movements. But that's all been washed down the memory hole, along with the true origins of Kwanzaa.
I'm going to go out on a limb and volunteer a whole new set of principles for a whole new fictional holiday:
Umama -- the principle that yo mama is so fat that when she sits around the house, she sits AROUND the house ...
Kujogonnakillya -- the principle that rabid St. Bernards are dangerous animals
Eugenia -- the principle of selective breeding
Pajama -- the principle that loose-fitting clothing is appropriate for sleepwear
Kia -- the principle that inexpensive Korean cars may find a market niche with low-end American buyers
Buumbahx -- the principle that music played loudly on a portable stereo is annoying to subway riders
Armani -- an expensive Italian suit designer favored by crack-smoking (c)rappers who want to camouflage their ignorance with elan.
They aren't just "buying into it" One of the ladies at work named her daughter Kwaanza!!
faux hellidays...
BTTT
What would the Kwaanza nativity scene look like? Could someone give me an idea?

Probably like the cover of that Ghetto-opoly game from a few years back...
Don't aks me.
Isn't Kwanzaa kind of fading? I don't hear quite as much about it. (Of course, I don't read the main stream media any more).

I think you're right, I haven't seen that much made of it since 9/11, only the usual racial grievance folks at work pay much attention. The same people that join the alternate "black" union and pay dues to an organization that doesn't represent the "bargaining unit", has no say in negotiating the contract or settling local issues, idiots.
A black friend of mine likes to bait the handful of NOI muslims at work with questions about their "yarmulkes" (kufi or muslim prayer caps) and paprikis (dashikis). None of them is going to give Mike a hard time tho', he's a big guy and tough as nails. Also a vet and a church goer.
Sounds like a good man! You need people like him around.
Do you (or anytonea) have any idea if W is/has been praising the Fraud of Kwanza this year?
I'm of to search.
In 2001 the line : "Established in 1966, Kwanzaa represents an African-American and Pan-African holiday . ... ." is included (bold is mine)
In years since, the reference to Kwanzaa's recent invention is missing.
I really wish he would refer to it again.
Tomorrow is about time for this years Kwanzaa greeting.
Whites are so color blind. I see yellow, green and alot of black.
I was at UCLA in '69. The murders were advertised as having happened on the steps of the Sociology Department. No mention of Panthers or US or any color.
Later Angela Davis, UCLA grad teaching assistant, lecturer, was accused as being a gun runner for the Black Panthers who were murdered.
Angela Davis is currently Professor of History of Consciousness at the University of California and Presidential Chair at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
I haven't contributed to the UCLA Alumni Association in 35 years, it all goes to the Wooden Foundation.

Thanks. That comedian seems to have a point as well.
The CIA was heavy into "nation building" on both a national scale and an international scale through-out the '50s and '60s. Whether by teaching democracy and helping the peasants to grow stronger in a third-world dictatorship (Chile, Panama, etc...) or help southern blacks gain a foothold against the Klan. Seems to reason, if they (a federal government) want to squash a movement or revolt without starting a war or, in the case of southern blacks vs. the KKK, being seen as raising arms against their own "citizens", you defeat them from within, so to speak.
Love it, Ann! How true it is...and Bill/Hill are its torch bearers, along with Al Gore to a lesser degree.
I consume news voraciously but I am happy to report that I didn't hear a single mention of Scamzaa until today Dec 18.
On the second day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the third day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Three Dixie Chicks.

On the fourth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Four Lenin busts.

From a search of the Free Republic archives for "holiday" and "FBI", here is one from SIX years ago:
