Being it’s the holidays, it’s once again time to remind people that Kwanzaa is a racist, recently made up holiday that there is no documented evidence of anyone actually celebrating it and you’re a racist to even mention the holiday in a positive manner.
First off, I’ve seen more evidence of bigfoot than of anyone actually celebrating Kwanzaa. I’ve never even heard fourth hand information of someone actually observing the holiday. It’s a myth.
Second, it was just made up in 1966 by some guy who thought blacks should have a separate holiday. We want to encourage that? What moronic racist thinks whites and blacks should have separate holidays? I’m sure you could get the KKK to co-sign that idea.
Finally, considering its a scam holiday some idiotic racist made up, it’s pretty racist to assume black people celebrate it. It’s like some people out there think if you label anything “This is for black people”, they’ll fall for the scam. No. No one’s that dumb except rich white liberals.
In conclusion, the only people who hold Kwanzaa as a positive thing are stupid racists. Don’t be a stupid racist. Especially so near Christmas.
Happy Festivus to you all! Every one!
I once worked with a woman who had to leave work early to get to church for their Kwanzaa celebration.
So, at least one.
Have a joyous Saturnalia.
And, coldguy: I’m looking forward to the Feats of Strength.
Festivus Poles
It’s a Festivus miracle!
After watching the video about how festivus poles are made, I realized two things –
1) Festivus poles are made here in Milwaukee!
2) With over 600 poles sold (and that story is a few years old) there is more evidence of people celebrating festivus worldwide than there is of anyone celebrating kwaanza.
It is worse than you said Frank. The Kwanzaa principles are from the communist manifesto and correspond to the seven heads of the SLA cobra.
SLA Cobra? Cobra commander worked for the SLA? Why have I never known about this connection before. No wonder the Vipers always covered their faces, they were spoiled white kids pretending to be black liberators.
Are you trying to start a fight with another blog (like Althouse) again? If so, I approve.
bitterclinger – I just tried that on my boss…
DC: Yo, boss, I gotta split now. Kwanzaa ya know.
Boss: I thought that was just for black cats.
DC: Racist!
Boss: How’d ya like a permanent holiday?
DC: Goin’ back to work now, boss.
Well, at least I’ll have a grievance to air at Festivus.
we wish you a merry kwanzaa
we wish you a merry kwanzaa
we wish you a merry kwanzaa
and a happy new year!
Kwanzaa facts:
* It’s spelt Kwanzaa and not Kwaanza. I got this confused, but Google helped me out.
* It has an official website. I find this creepy.
* Given one Kwaanza wish, I’d wish for a better official website.
* There is an official Kwanzaa USPS stamp. It actually looks pretty cool.
* Because Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966, there’s no Gregorian v. Julian calendar disagreement between orthodox and non-orthodox Kwanzaans.
* Kwanzaa candle holders have 7 candles. Hanukkah Menorah’s go all the way to 9.
* For $85 you can get a Kwanzaa set at the official Kwanzaa site. Don’t accept imitations!
* The official colors of Kwanzaa are green, red and black — also Bob Marley’s official colors!
* Kwanzaa’s founder, Ronald McKinley Everett is a Black Panther, and ergo, a Marxist.
* Other than this McKinley fellow, few terrorists have been able to create a holiday of their own.
* Ears of corn are one of the Kwanzaa symbols; however, corn is indigenous to America, not Africa.
* There is no special Kwanzaa day to commemorate the customary African tribal practice of inflicting genocide upon one’s neighbors.
I admit that’s a pretty lame list, but in my defense, it’s a pretty lame holiday.
New Bern, NC Kwanzaa Celebration
I expect literally dozens to attend.
“* Kwanzaa candle holders have 7 candles. Hanukkah Menorah’s go all the way to 9.”
If I got to make up a holiday, mine would go to 11.
Damncat-
The boss was also a (non-Kwanzaa-celebrating) black lady. I was outnumbered two to one.
“I’ve seen more evidence of bigfoot than of anyone actually celebrating Kwanzaa.”
The
Russiansaliens. Don’t forget theRussians.aliens.@Jonathan Murray: Mebbe it’s just me, but if my holiday celebration involved an entire day of forums and workshops, I think I’d give it a miss. Forums? Workshops? What part of the word “holiday” was Mr. McKinley fuzzy about? Oh, right, he is a Marxist. Never mind.
When I was in first grade my teacher made us do a Kwanzaa thing at an assembly, I almost fell asleep and I was participating. The only thing that kept me awake was getting to use fire.
Hey, Burma,
Who first settled America after the natives? Crackers. And who brought black people to America, thus exposing them to corn? Crackers.
If you crackers want to blame anyone for Kwanzaa, blame your own racist saltine butts!
Report for Mr. Marko de Mancuso:
I made your recipe for Snickerdoooooooodles instead of mine. Very nice – thanks! (yours has more leavening and slightly more flour.)
Kwansaa? It sounds like some reference to a stinking Koala Bear or something. Are we sure it isn’t Chinese?
So, let’s all get on with CHRISTMAS! Ok, I’ll start: Kahlua, coffee and creme!!
Gee Frank,
Why don’t you tell us who you really feel !!
Merry Christmas (that hasn’t been forbidden yet, has it? )
Jimmy,
They’re comparable to the ones Giant and other local PA groceries sell – only far better.
Cheers.
And cheers to you, MarkoMancuso!
I don’t know why I’m refreshing IMAO at nine at night. Maybe expecting Frank, Basil or Harvey to bust forth with something Christmasy!!??
Merry Christmas, Everybody!
I remember back when Marion Barry (remember him?) celebrated Kwanzaa . He rode around in that mayoral limousine with the license tags he made himself….
Merry Christmas everyone! I think Kwanzaa stands for “get whitey” but I’m not sure… Whenever someone at work starts talking about a Kwanzaa celebration, I always have a meeting to go to…darn…so I know very little about the whole thing…
Kwanzaa is so ’70s. Ramadan is the new Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa is African for Klu Klux Klan. The mouth-breathing communist bigot who dreamed it up, was so steeped in his own racist juices he deduced that Christmas was a honky celebration and therefore needed to be countered with a communist negro celebration to match. White colored klansmen and Brown colored klansmen are identical in their thinking.
Under which Kwanzaa concept does the torture of women fall? Since it involves burning a woman with a soldering iron and putting another woman’s toe in a vise, I’m thinking it’s Kuumba – Creativity, but I can also see how it might fall under Ujima – Collective Work and Responsibility. Can anyone clarify this for me?
on the fifth day of Kwanzaa my homeys gave to me
five chickens wings…
Following on tonestaples question..what principle of Kwanzaa does talking to your blant fall under? My school tries to make my 1st grader make a kwanzaa book. I pulled her out and the Principle asked me why, because it was a normal part of their world cultures unit. I asked him when a white hating, woman torturing, black segregationalist, socialist nutter who talked to his banket and ran a violent organization called United Slaves in 1960s Berkely became a “world culture”. The principal said I was well informed. So well informed I can answer my own question. It became a world culture when that same man became the chair of black studies at the University of Chicago.
sooooooo Kwanzaa is reallly not what you think…
it was only started to promote unity, culture and well being in the black community because in the 50s and 60s most blacks were pretty much on welfare and unemployed, working factory jobs or in jail. most black kids didnt grow up with fathers and even less ever thought about college. it was really big in the late 60s and 70s but kind of died low in the early 80s pretty much because of black wellness propaganda (like the “soul brother” phase of the 70s with the afros and motherland africa talk and seeing professional black people on tv like uncle phil the judge on the fresh prince and bill cosby the doctor on the cosby show) the idea had good motives but lacked creativity and attention to details like the question of how this looks to to the rest of America and “what about unity the rest of the year?” and eventually died out since the people actually paying attention to the message of kwanzaa get it and encourage their children and grandchildren of those messages. people still do celebrate kwanzaa, but only those who remember how it was without it.
#30 – Chapsticky,
check your history.
In the 50s and 60s, before LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ programs kicked in, black families usually Did include a mother And a father.
“Seen in the numbers, the changes from the previous decade were shocking. In 1950, 88 percent of white families and 78 percent of black families consisted of a husband and wife in a traditional marriage. These numbers had not changed since the Great Depression, but something happened after Great Society legislation: white percentages remained unchanged, but black families began to bread up, beginning in 1967; then the percentage of intact black families began a steep slide. Within twelve years, the proportion was down to 59 percent, compared to about 85 percent of white. During this fifteen to twenty-year period, the percentage of black poor who lived in a single-female household shot up from under 30 percent to nearly 70 percent. White poor in single-female-household families increased by about half, but black poor in single female households rose more than 200 percent, a fact that demonstrated the horrible incentives inserted into the war on poverty. Put another way, the war on poverty managed to destroy black marriages and family formation at a faster rate than the most brutal slaveholder had ever dreamed!

you mean kwanzaa klaus is not real?
This phony holiday was created out of thin air by one Maulana Karenga in 1966. He was a convicted felon and a violent racist. As I recall, it was reported that he was sitting on the toilet at the time the idea occurred to him.
