HAPPY KWANZAA…NOT!!!
Well folks, it’s that time of year again. That time of year when black folks everywhere are said to gather together and celebrate Kwanzaa, the purported "African" holiday celebrated only in the United States. But I often wonder how many of those who choose to celebrate this most bogus of supposed holidays are aware, or even care, that it was created by a man with a very troubled past. For Kwanzaa’s creator, Maulana Karenga, has a violent criminal record, is a racist, a rapist, and yes now a professor.
But unfortunately, just like the manufactured holiday, the fella who essentially invented out of nothing more than whole cloth, Maulana Karenga, is also nothing more than a false front created out of what is nothing more than fluff and nonsense. As it happens, his real name is not "Maulana Karenga," but is instead Ronald McKinley Everett, aka Maulana Ron Karenga, aka Maulana Karenga. And subterfuge, reinvention and smoke-and-mirrors seem to be Karenga’s stock in trade.
Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966. It stems from the black freedom movement of the 1960s, and starts the day after Christmas and ends on the first day of the New Year. In the 60s, this guy, Karenga, was in an organization called US. US was a black power militant group that he founded, and whose members actually murdered two Black Panthers in 1969. Yes, kindly professor Maulana Karenga, the murder-touting, segregationist, racist. What a role model for the kiddies isn’t he?
So anyway, the esteemed Mr. Karenga has a long and rather impressive criminal record. In 1971, for instance, he served time in jail for assault. But it wasn’t mere assault that Karenga was convicted of. It was the sexual assault and even torture that he perpetrated against some of his own female followers. At the time, The L.A. Times reported that he placed a hot soldering iron in one woman’s mouth and used a vise to crush another’s toe, of all things. Pretty sick, don’t you think?
Of course if it wasn’t for those in our state-controlled media who have given Karenga’s criminality a wholesale whitewashing, this faux holiday could never have gained any of the traction that it has. Put it this way, imagine if famed Ku Klux Klan member David Duke had created a holiday. Do you think those in the state-controlled media would have happily sold his creation to a misinformed public without mentioning Duke’s personal history? Not a chance, and rightfully so.
