"300 attendees" for 100 performers means that only the performer's family members showed up. Also, Broward County has a population of 1,777,638, according to the 2005 census estimate, and 24.4% of that population is black. That means out of 433,744 black people in Broward County, 433,444 or 99.93% did not show up for this Kwanzaa "kickoff." Yet the MSM still shoves it down our throats. Why not FESTIVUS???

The program included the singing of the black national anthem, African and Caribbean dances and a spoken word performance.

"Black national anthem," huh. I've got a problem with their definition of "unity."

Let's be accurate here. It said "roughly 300". It could very well have been 200 or less.

Most people would consider this child abuse!

Kwanzaa - a fake holiday invented forty years ago by a man who was convicted of sexually assaulting, kidnapping and torturing two black women.

He put a hot soldering iron in the mouth of one of the women and hung another from a vise attached to her big toe.

the torture and abuse took palce over the course of several days.

Our local (Dallas) news had a spot on last night that showed the Kwanzaa "kickoff". There were two people shown. One Chanting lady and one dancer. No audience.

It's been 40 years and I think most of us are still waiting for the "collective work & responsibility," "cooperative economics,", "purpose", "unity", and "self-determination" principles of Kwanzaa to kick in the other 358 days of the year.

Of course, if they did some lib Dem pols would be looking for real work themselves.

Pauline Foster's advice to her 11-year-old daughter, Nanyamka Graham, was simple: Shake it and smile.

Thus begins the journey into adolescence of a Kwanzaa-celebrating black girl.

The Story of Kwanzaa

Could it be that the lack of attention to this "holiday" could be that maybe many former "African - Americans" actually consider themselves American now?

"Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday that celebrates family, community and culture, "
First lie is right there. It is a marxist, anti-white separatist fiction.

Kwanzaa is not even a legitimate African holiday. The founder of Kwanzaa, Ron Karenga (a.k.a. Maulana Karenga) himself admits he made up this Pagan holiday to give Blacks a false sense of culture and identity. The word "Kwanzaa" itself is fabricated. It is derived from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya Kwanzaa" which means “first fruits.”


Kwanzaa has been pushed by radical Black activists and promoted by the mainstream media as a viable Black holiday, in many cases replacing Christmas. Despite the liberals efforts to paint Kwanzaa as a multicultural holiday, it was designed as a “Black only” event.

Here are two examples of how Kwanzaa has successfully infiltrated the
American culture: The U.S. post office issues commemorative stamps dedicated to Kwanzaa.

And in December 2002, President George W. Bush issued a proclamation celebrating Kwanzaa.

In 1966 Ron Karenga (or Maulana Karenga) created Kwanzaa as a holiday to give Blacks an alternative to the “White man's” celebration of Christmas and to allegedly give Blacks their “own” celebration to get in touch with their African roots.

About the Founder Ron Karenga:

Ron Karenga (or Maulana Karenga) was the head of the United Slaves organization (USO), a Marxist “Black power” group that was a rival to the Black Panther party. USO members and Black Panther terrorists frequently got involved in violent confrontations and several people died as a result.

In 1970, Karenga and two of his followers were arrested and charged with conspiracy and assault in the torture of Deborah Jones and Gail Davis, two of his followers. Thinking that these women had tried to poison him, he made them disrobe at gunpoint and had them beaten. He forced a hot soldering iron into the mouth of one woman while the other had a toe squeezed in a vice. They were also forced to swallow detergent and another caustic liquid as part of their punishment. Karenga was convicted and served four years for the crime.

A psychiatrist who examined Karenga noted that while in prison he had exhibited bizarre behavior, including talking to imaginary people, claiming he was attacked by dive bombers, and claiming that his attorney was in the next cell with him. He was judged to be a paranoid and schizophrenic.

Amazingly enough, this sadistic criminal ended up in the Black Studies Department at Cal State Long Beach in California, where he retired as chairman in 2002. Karenga had this cushy position for thirteen years, where he used the cover of academic freedom to indoctrinate his students into Marxism, Afrocentrism, and hatred of America. Karenga is currently a tenured professor at the university.

Karenga in His Own Words:

When once asked why he designed Kwanzaa to take place around Christmas, Karenga explained, “People think it's African but it's not. I came up with Kwanzaa because Black people wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of Bloods would be partying.”

Karenga has explained that his creation of Kwanzaa was motivated, in part, by hostility toward both Christianity and Judaism. Writing in his 1980 book Kawaida Theory, he claimed that Western religion“denies and diminishes human worth, capacity, potential, and achievement. In Christian and Jewish mythology, humans are born in sin, and cursed with mythical ancestors who've sinned and brought the wrath of angry God on every generation's head.”

He clearly opposed belief in God and other “spooks who threaten us if we don't worship them and demand we turn over our destiny and daily lives.”

Unfortunately, Kwanzaa has been widely promoted in our culture, and Blacks and Whites alike should tell the truth about Kwanzaa—but paralyzing fear keeps most Whites from being willing to take the a stand against what is clearly a subversive Black nationalist movement designed to create racial separatism.
