I ASKED A 17-year-old I know what he thought about Kwanzaa and he said, "That Jewish holiday?"
Uh, no.
Clearly, his high school hasn't embraced the multicultural thing and isn't teaching students about the 44-year-old Afrocentric holiday.
But I don't knock his ignorance because the truth is that Kwanzaa has never caught on with the majority of black Americans.
At the same time, though, it has grown in mainstream acceptance as evidenced by the Kwanzaa postal stamps and greeting cards.

It’s a fake holiday?
Mostly because they don’t care about imaginary African holidays.
KWANZAA: HOLIDAY FROM THE FBI

Because it’s bogus? I’m going out on a limb here, I know.
I think celebrating a holiday created by a communist criminal and full of socialistic symbols NEEDS to be forgotten. Purely BS PC crap!
My guess is that sensible blacks find out the truth about Maulana Karenga (the inventor of Kwanzaa—pimp, rapist, and communist), and run screaming.
How do they know?
Are sales of the traditional Drano, Duct Tape, Electric wire, and pliers down?
Less torture of females with the same, in honor of the holiday’s founder who used them to torture?
My thoughts exactly!!!
...because it is a fake holiday made to push diversity?
“Kwanzaa” means “First Harvest”
Who the —— harvests in winter?
Several reasons.
1. It’s a made-up radical black liberal holiday.
2. You can’t wear it or pimp it out or dance to it.
3. There are less than 20% of black families with a mom and dad in them to celebrate ANY holiday, Kwanzaa or other.
4. Too busy posing for a MSM media picture in Macon Georgia complaining they can’t pay their utility bills, with a huge flatscreen and playstation behind them.
Because getting gifts at Christmas beats wearing a funny hat, robes and pretending to be something you’re not.
I haven’t seen a Chia pet in awhile, either. What’s up with that?
“It’s a fake holiday?”
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!!!
I also believe it is because blacks don’t buy everything some commie liberal says. Amazing, that, isn’t it? Liberals despise people who think for themselves.
Correction:
On May 9, 1970 he initiated the torture session that led to his imprisonment. The torture session was described in the L.A. Times on May 14, 1971. “The victims said they were living at Karenga’s home when Karenga accused them of trying to kill him by placing crystals in his food and water and in various areas of his house. When they denied it, allegedly they were beaten with an electrical cord and a hot soldering iron was put in Miss Davis’ mouth and against her face.
Police were told that one of Miss Jones’ toes was placed in a small vise, which then was tightened by the men and one woman. The following day Karenga told the women that ‘Vietnamese torture is nothing compared to what I know.” Miss Tamao put detergent in their mouths; Smith turned a water hose full force on their faces, and Karenga, holding a gun, threatened to shoot both of them. The victims Deborah Jones and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothing.”
Karenga was convicted of two counts of felonious assault and one count of false imprisonment. He was sentenced on Sept. 17, 1971 to serve one to ten years in prison. After being released from prison in 1975, he remade himself as Maulana Ron Karenga, went into academics, and by 1979 was running the Black Studies Department at California State University in Long Beach and converted to Marxism. Kwanzaa’s seven principles include “collective work” and “cooperative economics.” He is still there and everyone has almost forgotten the cruel and vicious attacks committed on his fellow blacks. Kwanzaa has been successfully marketed and is now heralded as a great African tradition.
