Jill and I wish a very Happy Kwanzaa to all those celebrating across America and around the world

LOL...that inspired me to tell the whole story about Karenga and Kwanzaa:

"...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..."

The Seven Principles of Kwanzaa...to be celebrated each day between December 26th and January 1st! (The Eighth Principal involved stripping off all the clothes of a female and trying her up before administering the Seven Principles, but this principle got lost in the shuffle somehow. Or it was a counting error. Historians aren't sure.)

The Seven Days of Kwanzaa!

On the First Day of Kwanzaa
Karenga gave to me
A Soldering Iron Burn beside the tree!

On the Second Day of Kwanzaa
Karenga gave to me
Two Whacking Truncheons

Kwanzaa, another way to divide rather than unite.

No one outside the US even knows what the heck Kwanzaa is much less celebrates it.

Entertaining and informative. Tie the truth around libs’ necks and mock them to irrelevance.

Kwanzaa is the rapists’ holiday.

It is little wonder that Bidet loves it.

Exactly!

I have to wonder how many people out there (both black and white) just blindly pick this “holiday” up and “celebrate” it.

I bet that 99% of the people who even know about this “holiday” have no idea how it originated, or who originated it.

If someone wants to create a holiday based on some principle, I am willing to listen. Heck, they are all based on a “principle” such as Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, even Labor Day was a relatively recent “holiday” based on a principle.

But at least be honest about it, and I don’t think there is anything honest or even rooted in a principle with Kwanzaa, even the ostensible “Seven Principles” both you and I took the time to skewer.

.....some guy on a video recently who was a black man was opining about how there were 3,800 blacks owning 12,000 slaves during, before and/or after the Civil War.

He was asking whether or not the descendants of the 3,800 black slave owners going to have to pay reparations or just whitey?!

Karenga was sentenced to one to ten years in prison on counts of felony.

One of Biden’s type of people praise needed.
