Trash and nothing more.
Kewl! Each person who actually celebrates it gets to have his very own principle.
And just which of these seven principles do we all share?? I see a lot of “our people” and race.....I don’t see diversity and inclusiveness in any of this nonsense.
Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination): To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems, and to solve them together.
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Kuumba (Creativity): To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Imani (Faith): To believe with all our hearts in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
He could have given Festivus a shout out, but no.....
Other than the creator of that phony religion, who is observing it?
Did he send electrical cords and soldering irons along with those wishes?
Happy fake/made up holiday.
The audience at a black action conference in Palo Alto,
California, in September, 1967, were told to teach their children
to hate “whitey” and never to pity the “honkie.”
“Redneck,” “pigs,” “devils, “ “peck,” “whitey,” and
“honkie” are over-used epithets for white people. “The only
good honkie is a dead honkie,” claimed Karenga at an US rally in
August, 1967, comprised of 800 to 1,000 people.
Something like Obama.
BTW, apparently one ought not to say, "Happy or Merry Kwanza." the PC greeting is
The 7 principles of kwanza can be summed up:
“We made it all up recently, so just think the politically correct thing, and you’ve nailed kwanza.”

“Kwanzaa: holiday from the FBI”
Ann Coulter
Jan 01, 2001
SNIPPET: “Earlier this week, President Clinton issued a formal White House proclamation celebrating the first day of Kwanzaa. His announcement began with some claptrap about preserving “what we value of our past,” and Kwanzaa being a “wonderful example” with its “focus on the values that have sustained African-Americans through the centuries.”
Except for the small historical detail that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 amidst the madness of the multicultural ‘60s by a black radical stooge of the FBI, Ron Karenga, a.k.a. Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers and a dupe of the FBI.
In what was probably ultimately a foolish gamble, during the violent ‘60s, the FBI encouraged the most offensive black nationalist organizations in order both to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the organization, the better. Karenga’s United Slaves was perfect. Despite public perception blending the black activists of the ‘60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites and did not seek armed revolution. That was the trope of Karenga’s United Slaves. In the annals of the American ‘60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.
Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear.”

“The TRUTH about Kwanzaa”
Tony Snow
December 31, 1999
SNIPPET: “http://www.jewishworldreview.com — BLACKS IN AMERICA have suffered an endless series of insults and degradations, the latest of which goes by the name of Kwanzaa.
Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans.
According to the official Kwanzaa Web site — as opposed, say, to the Hallmark Cards Kwanzaa site — the celebration was designed to foster “conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of Black Americans” and provide a “reassessment, reclaiming, recommitment, remembrance, retrieval, resumption, resurrection and rejuvenation of those principles (Way of Life) utilized by Black Americans’ ancestors.”
Karenga postulated seven principles: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith, each of which gets its day during Kwanzaa week. He and his votaries also crafted a flag of black nationalism and a pledge: “We pledge allegiance to the red, black, and green, our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of black people, with one G-d of us all, totally united in the struggle, for black love, black freedom, and black self-determination.”
Now, the point: There is no part of Kwanzaa that is not fraudulent.”
