Blacks Have Been Conned About Kwanzaa!
Don Boys, Ph.D.
Let me state the obvious: If Blacks (or anyone else) want to celebrate Kwanzaa that is their right; however, it is my right to set the record straight. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, nor is it a traditional “African thing.” Moreover, it is grounded in violence, corruption, and deceit. Furthermore, it has an admitted humanist foundation, so professing Christians should not go near the thing. Neither should black Americans!
Yes, I know the U.S. Postal service issued a stamp honoring Kwanzaa but that only proves how shallow and stupid the Postal Service is. And yes, the New York Times and other major journals have positively pitched Kwanzaa. (See previous sentence.) Those people are wearing the “merit badge” of political correctness. In fact, they flaunt it.
It was December 26, 1966 that Ron Karenga and his family and friends lit a candle at the kick-off of Kwanzaa, a new holiday to remember their African roots. However, Karenga admitted to the Washington Post that Kwanzaa was not African and they hated whites. Karenga wrote what I call, the mission statement for Kwanzaa fanatics: “The sevenfold path of blackness is think black, talk black, act black, create black, buy black, vote black, and live black.” That is black separatism and racism to the core. Let me suggest it should be “Think American, talk American, act American, create American, buy American, vote American and live American.”
While some of the “seven principles” (unity, self determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith) of Kwanzaa seem commendable, they must be read within the total socialist, Marxist, and anti-white context in which they were developed by a very unstable guy.
The Kwanzaa Information Center also notes that the Kwanzaa flag “has become the symbol of devotion for African people in America to establish an independent African nation on the North American Continent.”
Remember during the 1960s, President John Kennedy was assassinated followed by his brother Bobby and Martin Luther King. Hippies were protesting the Vietnam War and many burned their draft cards and fled to Canada. Timothy Leary convinced thousands of youth to use illegal drugs (especially LSD) using the phrase,”Turn on, tune in, drop out." When he dropped out and assumed room temperature, his remains were cremated and shot into space where they still orbit the earth. Leary is still going around and around and around without the help of any drug!
The 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed giving Blacks the right to jobs, college enrollment, access to public restrooms, etc., and many Blacks overreacted and promoted “Black Power.” Some black leaders like Malcolm X were intent on the eventual creation of a separate black American nation in the U.S. or Western hemisphere. He and other leaders wanted black independence and freedom from dependence upon Whites.
The Black Panther Party was formed in Oakland, CA by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in 1966 to protect blacks and black neighborhoods from “police brutality.” However, those lofty goals changed with time. While the party was always socialist, it became more vicious and violent. They and other black groups spewed bigotry, intolerance, hatred, sexism, anti-Semitism, dogmatic historical revisionism, and violence throughout North America. Many black nationalists exemplified more hatred for whites than love of their own race. Most Black Nationalist leaders were critical of Martin Luther King’s professed nonviolent approach to civil rights and sarcastically called him, “De Lawd.”
Into such an atmosphere, entered Ron Karenga, founder of United Slaves (a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers) and a dupe of the FBI. The tension between the Black Panthers and the United Slaves reached the highest level over who would head up the new Afro-American Studies department at UCLA. Each radical group supported different candidates.
Then on January 17, 1969, fewer than 200 students gathered on the UCLA campus to discuss their differences. During the meeting John Jerome Huggins and Alprentice Carter of the Panthers verbally attacked Karenga, much to the dismay of his followers. After the meeting two United Slave members, George and Larry Stiner, confronted Huggins and Carter in a hallway and shot and killed them. The fat was in the fire.
George and Larry finally were sentenced to life in San Quentin prison but in 1975, the two brothers, fearing an alleged retaliatory plot by white prison guards, escaped from San Quentin (with help from a black prison guard) and fled to Suriname. In 1994, Larry turned himself in to United States officials and returned to America but the whereabouts of George is still unknown.
On September 17, 1971, Ron Karenga was sentenced one to ten years to the slammer on counts of felonious assault and false imprisonment. The charges stemmed from a May 9, 1970 incident in which Karenga and two others tortured two women. According to the Los Angeles Times “Deborah Jones, who once was given the 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.”
At his trial, Ron Karenga’s sanity was in question and a psychiatrist declared, “This man now represents a picture which can be considered both paranoid and schizophrenic with hallucinations and elusions, inappropriate affect, disorganization, and impaired contact with the environment.” The psychiatrist observed that Karenga talked to his blanket and imaginary persons and believed that he had been attacked by dive-bombers! My two-year-old grandson also talks to his blanket, has imaginary friends, and believes he has been attacked by peg-legged, one-eyed Caribbean pirates but he has not been offered a position at a major university as was Karenga! Eight years later California State University at Long Beach made Karenga the head of its Black Studies Department! I think he should be making license plates in a state prison.
Blacks can celebrate whatever they choose but I will remind them that if it is Kwanzaa, they recognize a “holiday” that was designed by a hateful, bigoted, black Marxist who reportedly talks to his blanket, has imaginary friends and believed he was attacked by dive-bombers! Watch out, they’re coming out of the clouds at the two o’clock position!
Maybe Blacks and Whites should be more careful in choosing their holidays and their heroes.

kwanzaa is bs.
There is a SANTA... but there is NO Kwanzaa !
Thats not the only conjob on blacks.
Kwanzaa is just another divisive thought to thwart Christmas. Christians should ignore it. (Black, Yellow or White)
We told him that it is not a real holiday, and explained that a "bad man" who tortured victims and went to jail invented it in order to make himself money.
We told them to tell other kids about Ron Karenga and the soldering iron, that there was no miracle involved (unlike Chanukah and Christmas--we are Jewish, btw) and that it is phony.
The teacher called us very irate after hearing nasty things about the inventor of Kwanzaa from her 7 and 8 year olds (including bits about a soldering iron), and we educated her about the phony "holiday" and that my kids would not be participating in their planned info events about it (they do it also for Chanukah, Christmas and some Latino holiday B.S.). the principal called us in and we made a BIG deal about it. We also challenged them to come up with anyone in the school who celebrated it. Mind you, the school is like 70% black. They found TWO blacks (both office workers, NO students) who said they did. And they knew less about it than we did!!!
We explained to all concerned about Ron Karenga, his crimes, his racist, murderous group, and how they stole the menorah and how there is nothing remotely "religious" about it.
GUESS WHAT? They are DROPPING Kwanzaa next year! It was a big hassle, but very worth it.
Kwanzaa is a total load of Krap, IMHO, which I have a right to have. First amendment and all that...
How cruel can you be? Shattering a child’s hope of finding a soldering iron under their pillow!
Several years ago, when my daughters were still in grade school, the multi-cultural NEA sycophant "educators" had the students put on a Kwanzaa charade during the "Winter Festival". They even said "They celebrate Kwanzaa in Africa". My now ex-wife was concerned that I was going to erupt - I guess that's why she's my ex-wife.
I go to work a day later and talk about Kwanzaa to my co-worker who is from Kenya. He laughed liked the guy from the old 7-up commercial and proceeded to tell me that "Dr." Karenga was a complete phony. Being from Kenya, my co-worker spoke Swahili - all of Karenga's seven commie principles were written in Swahili. He further educated me, being that he was taught by Irish Catholic priests and not NEA indoctrinators, that the majority of "African-Americans" are from West Africa - places like Ghana and the Ivory Coast - Swahili is the lingua franca of Kenya and Tanzania. He said using Swahili for Kwanzaa is equivalent to using Polish for St. Patrick's Day!
One more thing, and this is somewhat off topic: I live in the liberal hellhole that is Baltimore - it is of course run by Democrats. One day, I am driving to work and I see what looks to be a small RV and it has markings from the Baltimore City Health Department. It is emblazoned with the word UMOJA. The following post comes from the official Kwanzaa website for the definition:
Umoja (Unity) To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
My problem with that is "unity in the...race". If we're talking about the human race I am all for it. However, as a white person who works hard and pays taxes in a majority black city, I have a real problem with that. But guess what: Our mayor - the "honorable" Sheila Dixon, when, as a councilbitch learned that blacks had the majority in the city, did a Khruschev, banged her shoe on the table and exclaimed "The shoe's on the other foot now." Remember - Baltimore is the city that spawned Il Douchebag San Fran Nan. If Sheila or Nancy were on fire, I wouldn't pi$$ on them unless I had been drinking shooters of napalm.
Maryland - The Land of (formerly) Pleasant Living. I think I'll feel better after a trip to the range.
Hey ten,
I know how you feel man. All we can do is just keep drinking the beer! I don't see it getting any better anytime soon.
Gee, do ya think?
Kwanzaaaaaa is just the black version of Festivus.
Does this mean I don’t have to put up the Kwanzaa hut next to the manger next Christmas...
No.
Festivus is a joke invented by a professional comedian to get laughs on a sit-com television show.
Kwanzaa is a propaganda tool invented by a violent marxist racist to promote and perpetuate a bigoted ideology of race-hate.
Big difference.
LOL!! Too true!
