Did you know that "Kwanzaa," that made-up holiday celebrated from December 26 through January 1, was invented by Ron N. Everett, known today as Dr. Maulana (Swahili for "master teacher") Karenga? About Kwanzaa, Karenga said:
People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country 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 [blacks] would be partying!
Did you know that Karenga was a founder of "United Slaves", a group that was quite similar in philosophy to the Black Panthers? The two groups had different tactics, but often competed for the same potential recruits. So an altercation was inevitable. On January 17, 1969, at a Black Student Union meeting at UCLA, Black Panther Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter was heard making derogatory comments about Karenga. Carter was shot to death. The Black Panthers swear it was preplanned.
Or that Karenga was convicted in 1971 for torturing two women? He pressed a hot soldering iron against their faces and put their fingers in a vise in an effort to get them to offer up some nonexistent "crystals" of poison. It seems that the paranoid Karenga thought he was being poisoned. Nice guy, this Kwanzaa founder.
Or that in his book The Quotable Karenga, Karenga wrote "The sevenfold path of blackness is think black, talk black, act black, create black, buy black, vote black, and live black"? Is this the source of "seven," a number seen often in Kwanzaa? It certainly explains why he wanted a black holiday.

I'm so sorry I missed it yesterday. /sarc
Made up culture obviously beat NO culture, besides its a fun time for non-stop pokin, eatin bushmeat and randomly shootin yo gun into da crouid, on da crackas dime.
Well...... in that case then so is MonDAY, TuesDAY, WednesDAY, ThursDAY, FriDAY, SaturDAY and SunDAY.
/bingo
Should i be embarrassed for blacks - or thankful they’ve woken up to such a stupid holiday? As someone said earlier it’s only white female elementary teachers who celebrate kwanzaa...
(A thought: maybe white airhead teachers should be selling shoes rather than teaching the young)
Rougly paraphrased, Paul IMNVHO is saying, " ....sometimes even an idiotic jackass, with no education, training, morals, or much intellect, can maybe bring you the Word. Don't be too hasty in condemning the stupid, dangerous, lieing SOB."
Do not expect this master of Ebonics to be preaching on Maundy Thursday in Westminster Cathedral. His is the Black Urban Riot Ministry.

"STRUGGLE AND VICTORY" DOES NOT REFER TO THE "KNOCKOUT GANE" OR DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS.
This is the right to decide who we are, what our names will be.....
well isnt that special...
doesn’t EVERYONE pretty much have those RIGHTS as it is???
perhaps this is the reaction to having wite;.....SLAVE NAMES like jackson and johnson instead of Lamooomba....and Arafat
Last time I checked, none of them were in and of themselves holidays.
How exquisitely ironic!
Our "made up" president, enthusiastically embraced it.
People in Kenya mostly but NOT ALL speak Swahili (Kiswahili). The Masai would have your guts for garters if you tried it on them. The Luo, the Kikuyu, the Kamba, the Luhya tribes, are pretty much tri-lingual in that they speak English of a sort, Swahili, and their native language.
Swahili is pronounced sort of like Italian or Spanish with its "Rs" and vowels, etc., You can actually learn a lot from Berlitz on the flight over. Rosetta Stone? Finish that and you'll be talking like a native in two weeks. (Well OK, 6)
A good start for me? Tarzan Comic Books. You laugh? Twiga=Giraffe, Simba=Lion, Tembo=Elephant, Toto=Child, etc. E.G. Pain=Inaringa Sample Swahili Sentence. Ma tumbo inaringa. "My stomach hurts." "chest"= Matitty. NSS. Hard to take altogether seriously. We ain't talking Latin here.
Pardon the digression. Meant to say spent years in Eastv Africa (OK 2) and never heard of Kwanzaa. Perhaps I should go back and introduce it. Believe it or not, the young men (much to the disgust of their elders)are unbelievably into American ghetto “culture,” so maybe they could rap about it.
” Karenga was either ignorant of African geography and languages,”

Like a large proportion of African-Americans he probably thought Africa was a country.
:-)

What would be in a Kwanzaa cookbook?
A made up holiday for made up “African-Americans” that never stepped foot in Africa, can’t name many of its countries and will never directly relate to it.
Just more black lies. They are saturated with lies. And they suffer cognitive dissonance heavily as a result. So sad.
Warren Beatty ? WHUT ?
Something like in that Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man”, except it’s about how to serve Whitey. Baked, broiled, barbecued, jerked, et al.
I guess traditional African food. Special dishes for the holiday maybe. I never even looked at the book.
