JEW-CONTROLLED BUSH REGIME SHOVES NEGRO RACISM DOWN WHITE PEOPLE'S THROATS
The Rotten Roots of Kwanzaa
The story of Christmas cannot be told in a
government-run school. Teachers,
acting as paid agents of the government, must avoid even the
appearance of
endorsing any religion. This constitutional restriction does not
apply to
pseudo-religions, however, so the dedicated adherents of even the
most
extreme pseudo-religion are free to gain a foothold in any
government
school.
Take the pseudo-religion called Marxism for example.
From the moment of its
inception, Marxism has not wanted for prophets and self-anointed
infallible
leaders. Its adherents believe that their doctrine is true and
unerring, a
genuine key to history. The official History of the Communist
Party
proclaims: "The power of Marxist-Leninist theory lies in the
fact that it
enables the Party to find the right orientation in any situation,
to
understand the inner connection of current events, to foresee
their course,
and to perceive not only how and in what direction they are
developing in
the present but how and in what direction they are bound to
develop in the
future." These words were written in 1945. After almost six
decades of
continual blundering such pretensions to infallibility, insight
and
historical clairvoyance sound merely comical to most Americans.
And yet,
even today, there are those who would creep up to the bier and
attempt to
breathe life into Marxism's desiccated spiritless corpse. Many of
these
hopeful Utopians spend their busiest years teaching in America's
educational system.
Take, for example, the self-named Professor Maulana
Karenga. Way back in
1966, when he was known as plain ol' Ron Karenga, this
self-proclaimed
radical black separatist had the distinction of creating
history's most
pathetic holiday: Kwanzaa. It was pure Karenga, a seven-day
celebration of
crypto-Marxist values with racist overtones. According to the
official
Kwanzaa website the celebration was designed to nurture
"conditions that
would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of
Black
Americans." Each day of Kwanzaa emphasizes a principle such
as
"unity" or "collective work" or
"cooperative economics."
Karenga branded Kwanzaa a black alternative to
Christmas. In fact, it is
the black anti-Christmas. In 1977, the then sixteen-year-old
minister Al
Sharpton declared that the Kwanzaa feast would perform the
much-needed
service of "de-whitizing" Christmas. (For more on
Sharpton see The
Tawana Brawley Hoax).
What makes Kwanzaa so pathetic is its total lack of
authenticity? The name
of Kwanzaa and of each of its principles are all Swahili, a
language not
spoken by anyone brought to America in the days of the slave
trade. The
culture of East African Swahili speakers is profoundly alien to
the
cultures of West Africa.
The Kwanzaa ceremonies have no African counterparts;
they are complete
inventions. They don't even make sense on their own terms. For
the day of
"muhindi", ears of corn are set aside for each child in
the family, but
corn is not indigenous to Africa. Corn was first cultivated by
Mexican
Indians; it was brought to Africa by white folks. The day of
muhindi looks
more like a Mayan shindig than anything African. And where else
on this
planet does anyone celebrate a harvest ritual in December? This
incongruity
springs from Karenga's desire to make Kwanzaa the black
anti-Christmas.
That's why Kwanzaa goes from December 26th to January first,
instead of
sometime in October.
The Marxist creator of Kwanzaa couldn't resist naming
one of the Kwanzaa
feasts "ujima" (collective work and responsibility),
which the African
tyrant Julius Nyerere cited as he tore tens of thousands of
Tanzanians from
their homes and compelled them to labor on collective farms. No
European
invention has caused more mischief in Africa than Marxism; it is
a proven
formula for backwardness. It won't do American blacks any more
good than it
did the Tanzanians.
The Kwanzaa ceremonies, with their suggestion of some
ancient Ur-African
culture, is simply fraudulent. Africa has remained stubbornly
tribal right
into the twenty-first century, complete with warlords, chattel
slavery and
sweeping genocides. Bill Clinton, who turned a blind eye to the
genocide of
the Tutsi people of Rawanda, signed at least four Kwanzaa
proclamations and
jabbered cynically about "The symbols and ceremony of
Kwanzaa, evoking
the rich history and heritage of African-Americans..." as a
way of
patronizing black activists. The folks at Hallmark gave the whole
silly kit
of bogus rituals a cosmetic legitimacy, complete with sappy
sentiments.
Those white people who tend to fret overmuch about political
correctness do
their best to keep a straight face whenever Kwanzaa is mentioned.
The
avatars of PC are, of course, the media chatterboxes.
Every time December rolls around the newspapers
include glowing articles
about Kwanzaa. The designer of the Kwanzaa festival is invariably
referred
to in reverential terms. He is called "Doctor Karenga"
or "Professor
Karenga" or "the renowned Professor Maulana
Karenga". The timid folk
who scribble articles for such rags as the New York Times or the
Washington
Post know that it is bad for business to provoke their core
demographic by
referring to Mr Karenga with more descriptive terms, such as
vicious,
sadistic, repulsive, depraved and hateful. Two days before the
beginning of
Kwanzaa in 1971, the New York Times ran an article about the new
black-
unity holiday but didn't mention Ron Karenga even once, which is
curious
because at that very moment Ron Karenga was a guest of the
California
prison system. The Times didn't mention that Ron had been
convicted of the
crime of torturing two black women. The Times was silent about
Ron's role
as founder of a black nationalist cult that indulged in gunplay
and
homocide.
In the late 1960s Ron Karenga was the commander of a
black nationalist
paramilitary group that called itself United Slaves (US). In 1969
Karenga's
gang clashed with the Black Panthers over control of a black
studies
program at UCLA. Everyone was packing heat. When the gunsmoke
cleared two
Panthers lay dead at the student center. In May of 1971 Karenga
stood trial
for torturing two dissident members of his cult. Both Deborah
Jones and
Gail Davis described how Karenga had demanded that they strip
naked. The
naked women were then whipped with electrical cords and beaten
with a
karate baton. Detergent and a gushing hoses were forced into
their mouths.
Ms Jones had one of her toes clamped in a vise. Karenga's goon
squad forced
a hot electrical soldering iron in to Ms Davis' mouth as a form
of
revolutionary discipline. The torture-fest went on for two long
days.
Karenga was convicted and served more than three years in a
California
State prison. The New York Times did not see any of these lurid
and
insightful facts as part of "all the news that's fit to
print", even
though it was all new news in 1971.
When Karenga declared that he was a convert to
Marxism, those who knew him
took it as a sign that he had mellowed. His violent past and
muddled
thinking were, apparently, job enhancements in the California
university
system. Karenga is now a professor at California State University
in Long
Beach.
Ron Karenga's legacy is the ultimate chump holiday,
one that defines black
people as an alien nation. At the very heart of Kwanzaa lies the
Cult of
Color which fashions a revered fetish from the accident of race.
Kwanzaa is
nostalgia for a yesterday that never existed. Worse yet, it's an
invitation
to embrace a failed system of economics that has impoverished
everyone who
has been stupid enough to attempt it.
Equally insidious is the fact that the true history of
Kwanzaa and its
depraved creator is rapidly vanishing into an Orwellian black
hole. Using
the same method that Joseph Stalin reduced to a laboratory
science, the
keepers of America's newspaper data bases have simply made all
unpleasant
references to Ron Karenga vanish into the ether. There is not
even a
whisper about torture-fests, blazing campus gun battles, Marxist
ideology
or the brutal beatings of Karenga's critics. All of this would
have been
lost forever were it not for the diligent research of Paul
Mulshine, a
conservative columnist for the Newark Star Ledger. It took
Mulshine two
days of hunting to ferret out the truth in the microfilmed pages
of the Los
Angeles Times. As far as America's liberal
"journalists" are concerned
Karenga is a sage culture hero who is above reproach.
As Christmas approaches, the pseudo-religious and
historically rootless
rituals of Kwanzaa are freely celebrated in countless government
school
classrooms. Karenga's blacks-only anti-Christmas is now an
established
taxpayer-supported seasonal school event. The legacy of a
racially divisive
violent degenerate is kept alive with tax money taken from you by
coercive
government power. Any mention of the Prince of Peace in the same
environment is a crime. Ours is truly a weird republic.
