Text of President Bush's Kwanzaa message:
I send greetings to those celebrating Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa celebrates the traditional African values of unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. From December 26th to January 1st, people of African descent gather to renew their commitment to these seven principles, known as Nguzo Saba, and give thanks for the blessings of family, community, and culture. Kwanzaa is also a time for Africans and African-Americans to honor their common heritage by participating in events based on early harvest gatherings called matunda ya kwanza, or first fruits.
As individuals and families join together during Kwanzaa, their joy enriches communities in the United States and across the globe. By uniting people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs, this holiday promotes mutual understanding and respect. These universal principles inspire us as we work together for a future of freedom, hope, and opportunity for all.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a memorable Kwanzaa, and for peace, happiness, and success in the coming year.

I have just started the High Order of Danc. We celebrate by giving the founder (me) large amounts of gold and 18yr old virgins.
I await the Presidents religious gifts and recognition.
Heavy on the gold please, 18 yr old virgins are as fictional as Kwanzaa...

Minor edits show how horrible this is. For the realpolitkers:
"WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE RED, WHITE, AND BLACK, OUR FLAG, THE SYMBOL OF OUR ETERNAL STRUGGLE, AND TO THE LAND WE MUST OBTAIN; ONE NATION OF WHITE PEOPLE, WITH ONE GOD OF US ALL, TOTALLY UNITED IN THE STRUGGLE, FOR WHITE LOVE, WHITE FREEDOM, AND WHITE SELF-DETERMINATION."
Obviously George couldn't possibly have foregone a Kwaanza message. </sarcasm>
Bush is a PC hypocrite - pure and simple. I condemned Clinton when he was the first president to recognize the racist observance - I condemn Bush even more because he's supposed to know better.
...for torturing all night long two young girls, Gail Davis and Deborah Brown, with a vice, an electrical cord, caustic detergeant, and a soldering iron. Karenga, lead of a violent racist gang, went on to order his thugs to shoot and kill members of the Black Panthers in a UCLA Student Union building hallway in an attempt to gain control of the Black Studies Program. Apparently these qualifications are prerequisite to have your invented "holiday" observed by George W. Bush and to be given chairmanship of the Black Studies program at Cal State Long Beach.
There was quite a bit of objection to Kwanzaa from African American Christians.
No, not really. Regardless of what anyone thinks of it, Cinco de Mayo is an actual holiday with genuine historical significance. Kwanzaa by contrast was made up out of thin air by a radical afro-marxist separatist with connections to left wing torture cults.
Bush doesn't have a new found stand on Affirmative Action. You're confusing him with Lott.
Are you sure you're just not trying to gain back your posting rights on LP by causing havoc over here?
No one minds you disagreeing with the President, but geez man, you have nothing to back up your accusations. Stop the spin!
SPOILED BLACKS - What We Don't Dare Discuss
Democrats plan to use Lott gaffe to push civil rights agenda in Congress
"Trent Lott is the cue stick by which we engage in our game of billiards," said Rev. Joseph Lowery, former head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and president of the Black Leadership Council."
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. - Congressional Record - CPUSA
"King's patterns of associations and activities described in this report show that, at the least, he had no strong objection to Communism, that he appears to have welcomed collaboration with Communists, and that he and his principal vehicle, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), were subject to influence and manipulation by Communists. The conclusion must be that Martin Luther King, Jr. was either an irresponsible individual, careless of his own reputation and that of the civil rights movement for integrity and loyalty, or that he knowingly cooperated and sympathized with subversive and totalitarian elements under the control of a hostile foreign power."
Democrats "Use" Blacks To Advance A Radical Left-Wing Socialist Agenda
I Dont Want to be Black Anymore
Get out your reparations calculator

Coming to a wallet near you. Forget what you say. Now they know what you think.
"I dont care if you have proof that he raped a woman, stood up and shot her dead, youre still not going to get 67 votes."
