Obama’s Kwanzaa greeting: ‘Much to be thankful for’
Washington Times ^ | December 26, 2014 | Maria Stainer

President Obama said there is “much to be thankful for” during Kwanzaa, which runs from Friday to Jan. 1, 2015.

“Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today begins a celebration highlighting the rich African American heritage and culture through the seven principles of Kwanzaa — unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith,” Mr. Obama said Friday. The Kinara is the candleholder that is used in Kwanzaa, a holiday created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, who was born Ron Everett. He is now professor and chairman of the Department of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach, according to his website.

In Rochester NY, the home of Fred Douglas, they're trying to make a big deal out of Kwanzaa. I think it's failing. Regardless, it's pure politics.

At the same time, the City Mayor who is a black female is comparable to DiBlasio and has shot off her big, fat mouth.....despite the fact that a couple months back, a rotten black killed one of our finest....and she said nothing.

I believe Obama did send a Christmas Message, but it was overshadowed by the Kwanzaa Message.

Obama will one day bow the knee to the King of Kings, and answer for this pagan nonsense, and other national-scale sins.

cooperative economics?

That's when the “doers” fork over their hard earned dough to the “takers”.

See, it's all about cooperation.

A phony Leader praising a false holiday—Karma will get ya in the end. It will be a great day when Kwanzaa is dumped into the Trash heap of Liberal ideas—like Esparanza, and Communism.

*sighs* "I've been giving these out for 647 years!"

And I thought I was the only one!

The Jewish Y still exists, at least.

And, from one FReeper to another, have a happy new year!

Obama uses military golf courses everywhere he goes. He takes over the officer’s club golf course and none of them can play until the clown in chief is off the course.

collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics,

I know this is commie-speak but what EXACTLY is cooperative economics?

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Written to assume the best of the Obama BS, as president he utter’s these words as if to stake the claim that the Black Community seeking Social Justice is seeking to be lawless and that the communities within the Community at large should be grateful that the rest of the Nation is a Nation of Laws and seeking to be give Social Justice which in essence is not holding citizens accountable by law enforcement. Essentially, the Black Community wants social justice in lieu of Laws, and if the entire nation were treated by the rules of social justice, the black community would be worse off.
