The Truth About Kwanzaa by Chris Harris


Kwanzaa uses the Swahili language and was established on the premise of celebrating the African values of "family, community and culture†for the African-American community. Observance of Kwanzaa begins December 26 and ends January 1. Kwanzaa is supposed to be an African holiday to recognize the Nguzo Saba, or “Seven Principlesâ€. The “Seven Principles†are Umoja (Unity), Kuji-chagulia (Self-determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith).

Closer inspection and research reveals many disturbing details about Kwanzaa that most people may not be aware of. For starters, Kwanzaa is not African and is a “holiday†that was born out of 60’s radicalism and black racism in 1966 by a man named Ron N. Everett a.k.a. Ron Karenga. We will address Ron Karenga later in this article…

A few things to note about Kwanzaa; one is that Ghana and Kenya are on opposite sides of the African continent. American blacks for the most part are descended from people who came from Ghana and other parts of West Africa. Kenya and Tanzania, on the other hand are several thousand miles away, pretty much the width of the United States in distance, and this is where Swahili is spoken, not in Ghana. Another interesting note about the use of Swahili in Kwanzaa is this language is Arabic and was the language of the slave traders of that time. This must explain why freedom did not make it into one of the “Seven Principlesâ€.

While Kwanzaa is “fictional feastâ€, derived from “matunda ya kwanza,†which is Swahili for “first fruitsâ€. This harvest festival is oddly enough is celebrated during the winter solstice where very few fruits or vegetables are growing. The “first fruits†reference in Swahili sounds like a page torn right out of Torah regarding a commanded holy day called “First Fruitsâ€. Kwanzaa seems to even gone so far to base the “candle holder†on the Jewish Menorah which also uses seven candles. On closer inspection, there seem to be other similarities as well…

The seven principles that are espoused in Kwanzaa are the seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, a notorious American terrorist group of the 1970’s. The SLA had a banner with a seven-headed cobra. Each snake head stood for one of the principles embraced by the SLA: Umoja, Kuji-chagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. Birds of a like feather it seems...

It is humorous to note that one of the “rules†of celebrating Kwanzaa is not to “mix the Kwanzaa holiday or its symbols, values and practice with any other cultureâ€. This despite the fact that Kwanzaa is nothing more than an made up mishmash mixed from other “symbols, values and practices†of other cultures upon closer inspection.

In keeping with the theme of seven- seven candles, seven principles, seven days, etc; Kwanzaa was actually spelled “Kwanzaâ€, but an extra “a†was added to turn the six letter word into a seven letter word. For anyone with any depth of knowledge of the bible; one can see how Kwanzaa seems to have borrowed a bit from God's commandments and holy days.

Now let’s talk about Ron Karenga…

Ron Karenga is the inventor of Kwanzaa; he is also a convicted criminal and a deranged psychopath. Ron Karenga, a “cultural nationalistâ€, founded and headed the group “United Slaves†at UCLA, which was nothing but a cult of thugs. The “United Slaves†was known for its violent clashes with the Blank Panthers. In 1969, the violence resulted in two members of the Black Panthers, John Jerome Huggins, and Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter being shot by two of Ron Karenga’s followers, George P. and Larry Joseph Stiner.

Ron Karenga wrote a book, “The Quotable Karenga†that laid out "The Path of Blacknessâ€. The members of “United Slaves†adhered to the rules written in the book while committing assaults and robberies. The book advocated "the sevenfold path of blackness is think black, talk black, act black, create black, buy black, vote black, and live blackâ€.

In the 1960’s Ron Karenga proclaimed himself to be “maulana†which is Swahili for “master teacherâ€. Five years after he “invented†Kwanzaa, he was found guilty and sentenced on September 17, 1971 for torturing two women. Interestingly he tortured two black women who were part of an organization he founded. Deborah Jones and Gail Davis were whipped with electrical cords, stripped naked, and brutalized with a karate baton. He threatened to kill them with a gun that was pointed at their heads. Gail Davis in particular was scarred by a hot soldering iron that was placed on her tongue and against her face. By this time, the “United Slaves†fell apart due to the charges of torture.

In 1975, after his release from prison, Karenga received his “sainthood†and became “Saint Karenga†and was given leadership in the Black Studies Department at California State University in Long Beach four years later. Most likely he was able to receive this position as a result of his conversion to Marxism.

Another oddity, if you will, about Karenga was that despite his racism against white people, there are no known incidences of him committing violence against white people. He even maintained good relations with many white politicians. But Karenga and his black followers committed the kind of violence against other blacks that only the Ku Klux Klan could fantasize about.

In closing, Karenga gave an interview with the Washington Post about Kwanzaa. He was quoted saying, "People think it's African, but it's not, I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of bloods would be partying."

I think I can close with those words…

KWANZAA: HOLIDAY FROM THE FBI

by Ann Coulter

December 27, 2006


(NOTE: This is an updated version of a column by Ann Coulter that first ran six years ago in December.)

President Bush's Kwanzaa message this year skipped the patently absurd claim of years past that: "African-Americans and people around the world reflect on African heritage during Kwanzaa." Instead, he simply said: "I send greetings to those observing Kwanzaa."

More African-Americans spent this season reflecting on the birth of Christ than some phony non-Christian holiday invented a few decades ago by an FBI stooge. Kwanzaa is a holiday for white liberals, not blacks.

It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI pawn, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers and a dupe of the FBI.

In what was probably a foolish gamble, during the madness of the '60s the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the organization, the better. Karenga's United Slaves was perfect. In the annals of the American '60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police.

Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. They did not seek armed revolution. Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented "African" names. (That was a big help to the black community: How many boys named "Jamal" currently sit on death row?)

Whether Karenga was a willing dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear. Curiously, in a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-of-factly explained that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for the "framed" murder of two whites included "the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police Department" and so on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further noted that the evidence against O.J. "was not strong enough to prohibit or eliminate unreasonable doubt" — an interesting standard of proof.)

In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the '70s, Karenga was quick to criticize rumors that black radicals were government-supported. When Nigerian newspapers claimed that some American black radicals were CIA operatives, Karenga publicly denounced the idea, saying, "Africans must stop generalizing about the loyalties and motives of Afro-Americans, including the widespread suspicion of black Americans being CIA agents."

Now we know that the FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's United Slaves shot to death Black Panthers Al "Bunchy" Carter and Deputy Minister John Huggins on the UCLA campus. Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as a black studies professor at California State University at Long Beach.

Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life — economics, work, personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.") It takes a village to raise a police snitch.

When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially explained that under Kawaida, we also hate whites. While taking the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" — which one assumes would exclude the forced abortions, imprisonment for homosexuals and forced labor — Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial identity "determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding." There's an inclusive philosophy for you.



(Sing to "Jingle Bells")

Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell

Whitey has to pay;

Burning, shooting, oh what fun

On this made-up holiday!



Coincidentally, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another charming invention of the Least-Great Generation. In 1974, Patricia Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snake head stood for one of the SLA's revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani — the same seven "principles" of Kwanzaa.

With his Kwanzaa greetings, President Bush is saluting the intellectual sibling of the Symbionese Liberation Army, killer of housewives and police. He is saluting the founder of United Slaves, who were such lunatics that they shot Panthers for not being sufficiently insane — all with the FBI as their covert ally.

It's as if David Duke invented a holiday called "Anglika," and the president of the United States issued a presidential proclamation honoring the synthetic holiday. People might well take notice if that happened.

Kwanzaa was the result of a '60s psychosis grafted onto the black community. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural nonsense that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga's United Slaves — the violence, the Marxism, the insanity. Most absurdly, for leftists anyway, is that they have forgotten the FBI's tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa.

Now the "holiday" concocted by an FBI dupe is honored in a presidential proclamation and public schools across the nation. The only principle Kwanzaa promotes is liberals' unbounded capacity to respect any faith but Christianity.

A movement that started approximately 2,000 years before Kwanzaa leaps well beyond collectivism and litter removal to proclaim that we are all equal before God. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). It was practitioners of that faith who were at the forefront of the abolitionist and civil rights movements. But that's all been washed down the memory hole, along with the true origins of Kwanzaa.

Did you have a happy Kwanzaa? by Joseph Farah

I'm a little late in asking, forgive me.

But, did you have a happy Kwanzaa?

I know the celebration officially ended 10 days ago, but the news has kept me busy until now.

President Bush was quicker to the trigger than I was.

Back on Dec. 20 – a full six days before onset of this very spiritual weeklong rite – he sent "warm greetings to all who are celebrating Kwanzaa." It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over – even though I don't personally celebrate this sacred event.

Why did Bush issue a proclamation on Kwanzaa? Well, he explained that this important holiday was established in 1966 as an African-American celebration of "family, community and culture. The seven-day observance, beginning Dec. 26 and ending Jan. 1, serves as a special time to recognize and reaffirm the Nguzo Saba, or Seven Principles, of African culture. These are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith."

Bush continued: "Kwanzaa provides an opportunity for people of African heritage regardless of their religious background or faith, to come together and to show reverence for their Creator and creation, to commemorate the past, to recommit to high ideals, and to celebrate the good life. These life-affirming traditions take on particular resonance this year, as the United States and the world face new challenges to peace. As individuals, families and communities take part in this celebration of unity and enduring values, I extend best wishes to people throughout the globe for a wonderful and memorable Kwanzaa."

Touching, moving, multi-cultural.

Bush was correct in pointing out that this new high holy day is a very recent invention. There are few holidays we can actually attribute to one man's vision. Kwanzaa is such a holiday – coined by Ron Karenga in 1966.

Who was Ron Karenga?

Glad you asked.

He is a convicted felon – sentenced five years after inventing Kwanzaa for torturing two black women by whipping them with electrical cords and beating them with a karate baton after stripping them naked. He placed in the mouth of one of the victims a hot soldering iron, also scarring her face with the device. He put one of her big toes in a vise, and detergent and running water in both of their mouths.

But that wasn't the beginning of the bizarre and violent behavior of Karenga, the patron saint of Kwanzaa – not by a long shot.

Just about the time he was dreaming up this new holiday, he was also inventing a new political movement on the campus of UCLA. That movement was called "black cultural nationalism." His group was called United Slaves. And it was defined mainly by violent confrontations with the Black Panthers at UCLA. Two of his followers shot dead two members of the Panthers in 1969.

But no sooner did Karenga get out of prison on the torture charges in 1975 than all was forgotten about his criminal and violent past. He was proclaimed Saint Karenga. Four years later, he was running the Black Studies Department at California State University in Long Beach.

How did he get that job in academia with his record?

Glad you asked again.

Paul Mulshine, who has done an admirable job of chronicling Karenga's history for Frontpage.com, has a theory.

Karenga had a jailhouse conversion.

No, he did not become a born-again Christian. He did not renounce violence. He did not even repudiate his past. But he did become a Marxist.

And, while becoming a Christian might have disqualified him for a role in the world of the modern U.S. university, a conversion to Marxism was perceived as a sign of rehabilitation. The one-time psychopath had seen the light.

In conclusion, I hope this little cultural and history lesson helps you see the light – about Kwanzaa. It's being taught to your kids in your government schools. It's become a commercial bonanza in black communities through the United States. And, now, even the president of the United States is praising it as a legitimate holiday.

Good grief. What's wrong with America?
