BLACKS IN AMERICA have suffered an endless series of insults and degradations, the latest of which goes by the name of Kwanzaa.
Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans.
According to the official Kwanzaa Web site -- as opposed, say, to the Hallmark Cards Kwanzaa site -- the celebration was designed to foster "conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of Black Americans" and provide a "reassessment, reclaiming, recommitment, remembrance, retrieval, resumption, resurrection and rejuvenation of those principles (Way of Life) utilized by Black Americans' ancestors."
Karenga postulated seven principles: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith, each of which gets its day during Kwanzaa week. He and his votaries also crafted a flag of black nationalism and a pledge: "We pledge allegiance to the red, black, and green, our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of black people, with one G-d of us all, totally united in the struggle, for black love, black freedom, and black self-determination."
Now, the point: There is no part of Kwanzaa that is not fraudulent. Begin with the name. The celebration comes from the Swahili term "matunda yakwanza," or "first fruit," and the festival's trappings have Swahili names -- such as "ujima" for "collective work and responsibility" or "muhindi," which are ears of corn celebrants set aside for each child in a family.
Unfortunately, Swahili has little relevance for American blacks. Most slaves were ripped from the shores of West Africa. Swahili is an East African tongue.
To put that in perspective, the cultural gap between Senegal and Kenya is as dramatic as the chasm that separates, say, London and Tehran. Imagine singing "G-d Save the Queen" in Farsi, and you grasp the enormity of the gaffe.
Worse, Kwanzaa ceremonies have no discernible African roots. No culture on earth celebrates a harvesting ritual in December, for instance, and the implicit pledges about human dignity don't necessarily jibe with such still-common practices as female circumcision and polygamy. The inventors of Kwanzaa weren't promoting a return to roots; they were shilling for Marxism. They even appropriated the term "ujima," which Julius Nyrere cited when he uprooted tens of thousands of Tanzanians and shipped them forcibly to collective farms, where they proved more adept at cultivating misery than banishing hunger.

Those seven principles are the same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army. :fuelfire:

Why can't you spell god?

As I understand it, Jews write "G-d" as a method to avoid the destruction of God. Going back to Deuteronomy and Moses and Jewish law, Jews are taught to write "G-d" to prevent writing the word "God" and thus God himself from destruction, presumably in paper form.
Tony Snow was Jewish.

Ann Coulter has written about the fakeness of Kwanzaa a couple of times. She has also said if , IIRC, that Karenga was basically a criminal who may have been working for the FBI.

I found this a few years ago when I was at Ft. Riley and one of my daughters was told to read about Kwanzaa and had even brought a book home from the library about it.
I sent her back to school with that article.

I just went on my annual facebook rant about this today. Good article about the piece of shit Ron Karenga who invented kwanzaa.... http://www.floppingaces.net/2005/12/26/the-fraud-of-kwanzaa/

Kwanzaa is non-existent in Africa, including East Africa. Black Americans come from West Africa, not East Africa. East Africans are more likely to speak Nilo-Saharan language, while West and Southern Africans are more likely to speak Niger-Congo or Khoisan (click language).

And I understand those languages just as well as I do hip-hop and Ebonics.

Swahili isn't even a real language, it's BASED ON a Bantu language from East Africa, calling it a real tribal language is kind of like saying English is Old Low Germanic. What it really is, is a trade lingo that incorporates a Bantu base with a lot of other foreign words and idioms, including Arabic ones. Yes, in other words, one of its main purposes was to facilitate Black Africans selling other Black Africans to Arab slave factors.
