Cox News Honors Kwanzaa Creator, A Rapist and Torturer
by Warner Todd Huston on December 26, 2006
It amazes me that this Kwanzaa business has been washed of the real life criminal activity of its creator. The man was a race monger, a violent thug, a rapist, a torturer... just a horrible human being.
Yet never a word of this man's evil is ever uttered when his pseudo holiday is discussed in the MSM.
And the Cox News Service did it again on Christmas in theirs titled Kwanzaa glows even brighter after 40 years.
Kwanzaa turns 40 today. The colorful holiday, invented by California professor Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, is like a jazz musician who fuses bits and pieces of music into a vibrant mosaic of sound. Kwanzaa, "first fruit" in Swahili, is a fluent, nonreligious holiday that borrows liberally from a patchwork of cultures and traditions.
Karenga originally created the seven-day observance to empower black communities and uplift black culture and identity.
Yes, kindly professor Ron Karenga. What a great guy.
Of course, his name wasn't really Ron Karenga originally. It was Ronald McKinley Everett.
In 1969 the organization called US (as is "us"--blacks--against "them" --whites), a black power militant group Everett founded, frequently clashed in violence with police and even other black power groups. Members of his group even killed two Black Panthers in 1969.
Nice and peaceful, eh?
In 1971 Everett served time in jail for assault. By then Everett had changed his name to Maulana Ron Karenga and began to affect a pseudo African costume and act a native African.
It wasn't mere assault he was convicted of, either. It was sexual assault and torture perpetrated against some of his female followers. The L.A. Times then reported that he placed a hot soldering iron in one woman's mouth and used a vise to crush another's toe.
As writer Lynn Woolley wrote of Professor "Karenga":
And so this is Kwanzaa. The militant past of the creator is now ignored in favor of the so-called seven principles of Nguza Saba – principles such as unity, family and self-determination that could have come from Bill Bennett's "Book of Virtues." The word "Kwanzaa" is Swahili, meaning something like "fresh fruits of harvest."
No one remembers the part about "re-Africanization" or the sevenfold path of blackness that Dr. Karenga once espoused. Hardly anyone remembers the shootings, the beatings,the tortures and the prison terms that were once the center of his life. It's just not PC to bring that sort of stuff up now that Kwanzaa is commercialized and making big bucks.
And the Cox News Service just helped a criminal and sexual pervert skate by again, hidden behind his false holiday, and has allowed him to continue to dupe millions of black Americans. A man who has never denounced his past criminal activity and extremist ideas.
Happy Kwanzaa, indeed!
At Karenga's trial, the question arose as to Karenga's sanity. It is theorized that Karenga may have had a mental breakdown due to the stress of dealing with the violence and murders surrounding his United Slaves (US) organization and the Black Panther Party (BPP). His behavior became bizarre. And, at his trial, a psychiatrist's report stated the following: "This man now represents a picture that can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and illusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.
Wishing all fellow Freepers a Happy Kwanzaa!
Ramahannakwanzaa to you to!
Here's the PC multicult write-up by Cox News Service:

"Kwanzaa glows even brighter after 40 years"
Just more MSM b-llsh-t...
Why honor Kwanza by name? Why not say Happy Holidays?
And the same goes for New Year's.
The PROPER saying is 'seasons greetings' as they tell is "this is the holiday season".
Don't let them get away with using that as a euphamism for ONE holiday.
No surprise. This stupid made-up "holiday" is associated with a group that has special privileges. No one dares to say anything bad about this group. Even when someone makes up a "holiday" with racist, separatist and marxist intentions, no one dares to criticize it.
I still don't understand who celebrates Kwanzaa.
On another forum, someone was so happy to announce her kids were all excited about this made up "holy" day. She didn't know anything about the origination of it nor it's creator. Amazing that so many clueless find their way down to the voting booth.
"I still don't understand who celebrates Kwanzaa."
The media. I have lived my whole life in areas with black populations ranging between 50-75% and never heard or seen anything Kwaanza-related in real-life.
Come to think of it, I had never heard of Kwaanza until the internet got popular.
Ping
Let's get rid of Kwanza altogether.
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.
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the fourth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Four Lenin busts.
Three Dixie Chicks,
Two Jaily birds,
And a Marxist in a red tree.
On the fifth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me
Five fel-on-ies.
Four Lenin busts,
Three Dixie Chicks,

On the sixth day of Kwanzaa Karenga gave to me

According to CBS News, 30 million people worldwide...I wonder where they get those numbers ? The only ones pushing this "holiday", near as I can tell, are the NEA and the drive by media.
Kuck Fwanzaa
Kwanzaa is the biggest pile of nothing since Barack Hussein Obama. This "holiday" goes down the same path as "Jet" & "Ebony" magazine, MLK day (which is the only federal holiday that honors one single person), Black History Month and on and on. Suggest a magazine for "white people" only and there are riots, suggest a holiday for "Reagan" and suffer the consequenses. "White" history month? Not gonna happen.
Blacks are in the untouchable category along with Muslims. Whites, Asians, Jews have been thrown to the rear of the bus because of the many "injustices" we've subjected blacks to over the past 150 years. It's the whites etc fault that blacks are in section 8 housing, make less $$ than whites, don't have access to college and so on. This is why the NAACP, United Negro College Fund and all the rest are acceptible. These are all versions of reperations. A more severe version is still to come. With our new congress and Senate, there will be legislation that allows every black man, woman and child a certain amount of cash reperations.
You forgot Hallmark (and the other major purveyors of greeting cards).
