President Obama extended his "warmest wishes" to families across the U.S. celebrating Kwanzaa, a holiday which honors African-American culture.

"Today begins a week-long celebration of African-American heritage and culture through family and community festivities," a statement released the White House on Saturday said.

"Kwanzaa's seven principles -- unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith -- are also shared values that bind us as Americans," he continued. "And in the spirit of the season, we reflect on the blessings of the past year and commit to building a brighter future for all our children.

"As families, friends, and neighbors come together today to light the Kinara, our family sends our best wishes for a happy and healthy new year," Obama concluded.

Kwanzaa is baloney, of which the current administration is quite full.

The real seven principles of Kwanzaa:

(1) We black people who celebrate Kwanzaa hate whitey.
(2) We want to trick as many people as possible into believing in this fake holiday to further create division and chaos.
(3)We hate America and all it stands for.
(4) Some people i.e. gullible liberals will believe anything if it's screwy enough.
(5)We hate whitey.
(6) We hope to make a lot money off this fake holiday/thing.and lastly
(7)We hate whitey.

I recently learned that some people believe some of the references to “beasts” in the Bible are referring to African race. The beasts of the field that have hands, wear clothes, and can speak.

We laugh, but the American people like a lot about communism. Even Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev (1894-1971) would have been surprised at USA voting patterns and liking for socialist-style programs.

Some though the children of Ham were Africans too; has this been disproved?

Just because its fake, doesn’t mean that many of the American people wouldn’t like it.

I’ve heard that theory too, many times. Not sure things like that can be proved or disproved, only educated guesses. I don’t know how one man can father three seperate races but I guess if it was three different mothers...
