Who still remembers Kwanzaa?
American Thinker ^ | 12/26/2025 | Olivia Murray

I almost forgot Kwanzaa even exists, because the only person I’d ever really heard talk about it was Ann Coulter, and she seems to have dropped off the face of the planet—and there are so few people who actually even celebrate it. As a child in school, I vaguely recall a teacher reading some picture book about it and all I remember is the African garb and maybe some candles.

Anyway, it was Coulter who actually provided more than just colorful pictures in a children’s book, explaining the relationship between Kwanzaa and anti-white attitudes and Marxism:

[Ron] Karenga’s invented holiday is a nutty blend of schmaltzy ‘60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another invention of The Worst Generation.

In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snakehead stood for one of the SLA’s revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani. These are the exact same seven ‘principles’ of Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa praises collectivism in every possible area of life — economics, work, personality, even litter removal. (‘Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.’) It takes a village to raise a police snitch. When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from ‘classical Marxism,’ he essentially said that, under Kawaida, we also hate whites.

And while I forgot about Kwanzaa, the Marxists apparently haven’t. Just today, Forbes published an article by senior contributor Marshall Shepherd that explained how those same “Seven Principles” are actually the perfect blueprint for a “climate action plan” in the West.

Of course, for anyone who understands the instructions laid forth by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it’s always been obvious that the “climate action plan” of the left is rooted in communism; it’s really all summed up in this one sentence:

Effing joke made up by some criminal black Marxist and supported by guilt-stricken white libs for a decade or so… look up Ann Coulter’s piece on the origin of Kwanzaa for the lowdown.

It is often said, the only ones who ever remember Kwanzaa and keep it alive are Woke, White, Women school teachers.

I remember a Kwanzaa carol:
Kwanzaa bells, Kwanzaa bells,
Whitey's got to pay!
Rioting, looting, oh what fun
On this made-up holiday!

The less we mention it, the quicker it will go away

I remember it because I remember the 160,000,000 people murdered by its proponents.

It’s a made up holiday recognized primarily by liberal white female teachers.

Sooner rather than later we will get federal recognition of Islamic holidays.

It’s sad the number of people who believe this is actually a legitimate African holiday merely being observed as a cultural celebration. It is NOT.

Most of the air has gone out of that Hot Air Balloon, with a few die hard exceptions here and there. It’s an idea that has not caught on nationwide, still limited mostly to black people and their liberal lobbyists.

**The article briefly mentions Ann Coulter.
He’s right. We almost never hear anything from or about her anymore. Birthday Girl on Dec. 8th. 64 years.
Maybe she’s spending more time with her family.
A worthy goal.

I’m Dreamin' Of A Bright Kwanzaa

I'm dreamin' of a bright Kwanzaa
Wit de seben candles all a-glow
Wit de flames all a-flick 'rin
En bright wax be drip-a-lin'
On white lines of coke in a row

I'm dreamin' of a bright Kwanzaa
Wit de seben candles burnin' low
En de dope smoke be a-driftin'
Makes our head all go spinnin'
While de Big Choomer be sniff-lin'
Anuvver healthy line of blow

I'm dreamin' of a bright Kwanzaa
Wit de seben candles all a-glow
En one we all know
Burns for each of de great
Fifty seben states
Where Barack or Kamala neber got to go

I'm dreamin' of a bright Kwanzaa
Wit every candle lit each night
For anuvver year packed full
Wit de solumn meditation
En gen-russ reparation
Plus lots of fried chicken we gone to eat

I'm dreamin' of a bright Kwanzaa
So's I can watch de candles all a-flame
And de little chi'rens be singin'
And de gub-ment be bringing
Free Kwanzaa stuff to my crib
En to all my many lazy frens...
