The holidays are upon us, and everyone is getting into the Christmas
spirit. Some say they're getting into the Kwanzaa spirit since they are Black and
believe that Kwanzaa is a real African cultural holiday. Guess what, it’s not. It
was created by a Black activist by the name of Maulana Karenga, formerly known
as Ronald McKinley Everett, who claimed the made-up holiday is truly the
African festival of First Fruits which is an actual festival in a few parts of
Africa. The reason Karenga created Kwanzaa is because he wanted a black alternative
to the white Christian Christmas holiday that was celebrated by white
Americans. Karenga believed that Jesus was psychotic and that Christianity
was nothing more than a White religion-based holiday that all Black people
should shun. After a few years of celebrating the fake holiday that he made up,
he began to receive backlash from his own community, so he changed his tune and
recanted his claim that Jesus was psychotic to maintain a more cohesive bond
with those Blacks who believed in Christ and the Christmas Holiday.
Everett became radicalized during his college days and believed
that the only way to being true to his black heritage was to convert to Swahili-Arabic,
ideology as Malcolm X had done years before. He joined the Pan-American group
known as the US which stands for the US Black Congress and believed in African
Socialism and Marxism instead of patriotism for the United States. His main
objective was to separate all Black people living in America by encouraging
them to follow the circle seven principles of Swahili-Arabic ideology in order
to unite the black community under African Socialism and Marxism. This all
happened during the progressive movement in the 1960s to destroy the inner-city
infrastructure that dismantled the ability of the Black community to sustain
themselves with jobs and the family unit. Everett believed in promoting a
cultural revolution before the violent revolution could start, whereby creating
Kwanzaa with the seven principles of Swahili-Arabic socialist ideology.
So, if you’re an American who was born and raised in
America, but of Black heritage beware of what you practice because all is not
what you believe it to be. Kwanzaa is a holiday made up in order to marginalize you as a Black American and convince you to practice socialistic ideology without realizing that you're doing it. This is a holiday made up in the mind of one man who couldn't figure out how to practice socialistic behavior in a Capitalist environment and help to destroy the black community from within without going back to jail for falsifying an African holiday that has no true basis
in African heritage. While you might think it has historical relevance, I’d
suggest you educate yourself on your own heritage and debunk the so-called Swahili-Arabic
teachings of Mr. Everett.
