UPDATE - Obatma is spending the first day of Kwanzaa with the Obama family!

Obatma, Obama’s half-bat half-brother, arrived yesterday in Honolulu to spend time with his newfound family. He was wearing a scarf bearing the pan-African colors of red, black and green, and carrying one of the Kwanzaa candles.

President-Elect Barack Obama briefly spoke to a small group of journalists a few blocks from his home, stating, “While our main celebration is Christmas, we were more than happy to join my brother in honoring his first Kwanzaa in these United States.”

Look to Weekly World News for honest reporting about Obama before looking to any MSM outlet.

The credibility of Weekly World News has never been in doubt. The same cannot be said of the MSM.

Question: Why is it OK for blacks to wear this, but not OK for me to wear a white hood?

in these United States.”

Interesting choice of words. Obviously, Hussein's United States will be markedly different. And not for the better.

Did he have it on backwards, like his ball cap on Sunday?

The street presidential look.

Golly, I am soooo proud.

How could he get a visa if he couldn’t prove his economic solvency to cover his own expenses to visit the USA? I want to know? What’s good for the goose, is also good for the gander.

A little history on Kwanzaa founder, Louis Smith, aka Ron Karenga amd his benevolent United Slaves:

US Organization, or Organization Us, is a Black nationalist group in the United States founded by Ron Karenga in 1965. It was a rival of the Black Panther Party in California. The Panthers referred to the organization as the United Slaves, a name never actually used by members of US but which is often mistaken for the group's official name.[1]

The Black Panthers and US had different aims and tactics but often found themselves competing for potential recruits. It is speculated that the Federal Bureau of Investigation intensified this antipathy, sending forged letters to each group which purported to be from the other group, so that each would believe that the other was publicly humiliating them.[citation needed] This rivalry came to a head in 1969, when the two groups supported different candidates to head the Afro-American Studies Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. On January 17, 1969, a shooting between the groups on the UCLA campus ended in the death of several people, including Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter.

In 1971, Karenga, Louis Smith, and Luz Maria Tamayo were convicted of felony assault and imprisoned for assaulting and torturing two women members of US, Deborah Jones and Gail Davis. A May 14, 1971, article in the Los Angeles Times described the testimony of one of the women: "Deborah Jones, who once was given the Swahili title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. She testified that a hot soldering iron was placed in Miss Davis' mouth and placed against Miss Davis' face and that one of her own big toes was tightened in a vise. Karenga, head of US, also put detergent and running hoses in their mouths, she said. They also were hit on the heads with toasters."[2]

At Karenga's trial, the question of his sanity arose. A psychiatrist's report stated the following: "This man now represents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and illusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment." The psychiatrist reportedly observed that Karenga talked to his blanket and imaginary persons, and believed he'd been attacked by dive-bombers.[2]

He was sentenced to one-to-10 years in prison on counts of felonious assault and false imprisonment.

In 1971, the organization went dormant while Karenga was in prison. After his release in 1975, he revived it, and it operates to the present.

"these United States" is the correct term. Always has been.

I use it, have used it all my life. The term rightly recognises that the States are entities in their own right, and that the national government in Washington City is their creature. This relationship has been turned on its head, particularly in the latter half of the XX Century. If 0bama actually intends to restore the authority of the several States (Hah!), it would be the one good thing on his agenda.

Kwanzaa: An African-American scholar and social activist, Ron Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 as the first African-American holiday.[2] Karenga said his goal was to “...give Blacks an alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society.”[3] The name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza”, meaning “first fruits”. The choice of Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism, especially in the 1960s.

An INVENTED religious holiday. Whats wrong with just Christmas? To celebrate the birth of Jesus. Do blacks need a SPECIAL holiday for blacks? I do not know of any invented holidays specifically for whites.
