The day after Christmas, President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama wanted all Americans to share in their overflowing holiday spirit, so they wished everyone a Happy Kwanzaa. On the second day of Christmas the First Family gave to us an official statement celebrating a “holiday” invented by an ex-con turned Marxist professor whose fanatical followers killed two men. (They issued a similar proclamation last year; Presidents Bush and Clinton have also praised Kwanzaa.) The Obamas’ Kwanzaa message praised the holiday’s notion of black ethnic solidarity and collectivism. The president wrote:
Michelle and I extend our warmest thoughts and wishes to all those who are celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today [Dec. 26] is the first of a joyful seven-day celebration of African American culture and heritage.
The seven principles of Kwanzaa — unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith — are some of the very values that make us Americans.
As families across America and around the world light the Kinara today in the spirit of umoja, or unity, our family sends our well wishes and blessings for a happy and healthy new year.
The terse announcement induces boredom unless one knows the history of Kwanzaa, its Marxist creator, and its racially focused teachings.
Kwanzaa: A Made-Up Holiday for Black Marxists
Kwanzaa was created by Ron Everett, who in the fashion of Malcolm X dropped his “slave name” and dubbed himself Maulana Karenga; Maulana means “master-teacher” in Swahili, and Karenga means “nationalist.” He founded The Organization US, and once again the name possessed hidden significance: US stood not for United States but for “United Slaves.”
He invented Kwanzaa in 1966 as a pan-African holiday of black liberation and racial solidarity. He pretended the week-long celebration that begins on December 26 was invented in Africa and even gave its seven precepts, which he invented, Swahili names. He later admitted to The Washington Post:
People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of ‘bloods’ [Blacks] would be partying.
But he and his “Slaves” had loftier ambitions. They intended to take over UCLA’s Black Studies department. Unfortunately, the Black Panthers had the same idea, and the two groups clashed on campus, often violently. In 1969, two of Karenga’s followers murdered Black Panthers John Higgins and Al “Bunchy” Carter.
Convicted of Torture
One year later, Karenga would dish out the violence against his fellow black nationalists, this time against his own faithful. He was convicted and served time in prison for imprisoning and torturing two women, Gail Davis and Deborah Jones, inside his Inglewood, California, home in May 1970. Karenga accused the two women, who were living in his house, of attempting to assassinate him by placing “crystals” in his food and clothing. A reporter recently summarized the Los Angeles Times‘ coverage of Karenga’s 1971 trial:
Karenga and the other [three] men forced the women to remove their clothes, and beat them with an electrical cord and a karate baton. The men put a hot soldering iron in one woman’s mouth and against her face, and they squeezed one woman’s big toe in a vise, the Times reported. Karenga’s former wife, Brenda Lorraine Karenga, testified he sat on one woman’s stomach while another man forced water into her mouth through a hose.
All the while, Karenga verbally terrorized the women, saying, “Vietnamese torture is nothing compared to what I know.” The Times added the next day “Karenga, holding a gun, threatened to shoot both of them.” His own wife testified against him in his 1971 trial.
After being sentenced to between one and ten years in prison, he served four or five. While in the big house, Karenga is widely suspected of turning stool pigeon for the FBI.
After getting out of prison, Karenga recycled his nonsensical theories into a Ph.D. thesis and in time became head of the Department of Black (now Africana) Studies at California State University at Long Beach. According to Jesse Lee Peterson’s book Scam, Karenga headed the department for 13 years, using it as a platform to teach racism and political radicalism. That extremism pervades the holiday that our president has celebrated.
How Barack Got His Umoja Back
In this year’s Kwanzaa proclamation, Barack and Michelle Obama specifically praise Karenga’s seven principles of Kwaznaa as the quintessence of American public life, “the very values that make us Americans.” They specifically mentioned “umoja,” or unity. However, Kwanzaa’s unity is a racial unity of all black people — in a struggle against others. In his 1988 book The African American Holiday of Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family Community and Culture, Karenga wrote that umoja “means a oneness, a similarity and sameness that gives us an identity as a people, an African people. And inherent in the identity as a people is the ethical and political imperative to self-consciously unite in order to define, defend and develop our interests.”
The post-racial president and his wife just saluted black racial solidarity.
One thing is clear: whatever pan-African umoja is, it is not one “of the very values that make us Americans.”
The remaining six principles are, if anything, less subtle. Kathy Shaidle pointed out, “Ujamaa, or ‘cooperative economics’—one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa—is the term the socialist leader of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, used for his disastrous policy of putting tens of thousands of Tanzanians on collective farms.” (Emphasis in original.)
All of Karenga’s “collective” actions and racial focus sound as though they were plucked from Jeremiah Wright’s church, with its “African values” and racialist focus. Obama, who spent a few decades imbibing Wright’s poison, now encourages the world to celebrate Karenga’s black nationalist festival, claiming its values embody the American way as he sees it. Is Obama a racially obsessed collectivist? At some point, the American people must accept his words at face value.
I.ll be glad when this son of a bitch is thrown in prison for fraud.
I’m with you, this usurper asshole needs to be impeached along with all his accomplishes. This man is a danger to the whole world. He’s a fraud and everybody knows it. I hold our Congress responsable for not doing something about it. We The People have to stop this socialist takeover of our country NOW. Our lilly livered Congress know’s what he is, but who all is pulling his strings? Hell, the war on terrorism needs to start right here at home. Right here at home is where our problems lie. We need to clean up our own act and let this other countries take care of there own. We do need to make sure Isereal, is protected from there emenies for they are ours also.
yes indeed
we can only pray
What else can we expect out of this guy? He is a radical right out of the 60s except he didn’t live them, just idolized the radicals that did.
i agree
This ILLEGAL “President”, along with pelosi,reid,holder,biden,gibbs,sharpTON,jeASSee, bwarney fwanks,and that fat slob in charge of Homeland security, should also be either deported/thrown in Prison. Another FAKE Black “holiday”, to be shared with “I hate myself liberals”! 2011 WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!
I don’t think he will get thrown in prison but I sure can’t wait until he’s out of office. He has made a mockery of the White House, of the Presidency and of the Constitution. I’m really fed up with him and his half-hearted wish to some imaginary holiday doesn’t raise him in my esteem. Kwanza. What a crock!
BHO has no clue about America, her values and principles, her reason for existence, her vision and why she is seen as a light upon a hill, and the vast,universal raison d'etre for countless people coming from around the globe for a chance for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – the overwhelming feeling of being part of something greater than the sum total of the whole of this great, unique nation. From its beginning as a fledgling amalgam of 13 colonies to the flinging of security, prosperity, and and comfort in exchange for opportunity, risking it all for a chance at what we never had, and the ability to sacrifice for our children and grandchildren. Of such were those at the Alamo, on the Titanic, in the mines in Chile, and in the Twin Towers of 9/11 – of such were the first disciples, those listed in Fox's Book of Martyrs and those giving their lives in the underground church for the holocaust, and today in China, N. Korea and elsewhere for the cause of their Lord and Savior. BHO is eternally poorer even if he owns the world.
Then they have Black history MONTH! I think it's a bit much. I want my white history month. Black people celebrate all the holidays and they want more…Do away with this silly made up garbage week.
Doesn't that just make you wonder if he has styrofoam peanuts between the ears? But since he loves cons and their delusional holidays so much we can just let him celebrate the rest of his kwanzzas from inside a cell in Alcatraz hey maybe it is a little run down, cold, and miserable, and deserted-but didn't this PUNK from kenya make us all feel that way?
i will celebrate the day this devout Muslim is executed for treason and all the crimes he committed against our great nation. Kwazza another made up holiday that doesn’t exist. just lime the quaran which is a Stephen king novel. their religion of Islam is a Disney fairy tale. Yet no one is bringing any thing to the supreme court to impeach this freaking cockaroach along with his beastly looking wife.
Some want a “Burn the Bible Day”, What about a “burn a Quaran Day”
dvdrf: Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a must read for any that call themselves Christian. I believe that BHO only sees this great nation as an oppressor of the poor without realizing that the poorest in America are rich compared to the rest of the world. If he suceeded in taking all the wealth of America and "redistributing the wealth" to all the people in the world, it would only add a few cents to each person. His is a dangerous and deadly way of thought. He wants more for him but less for everyone else. It is like Oprah's stance as strongly anti-gun, but all of her guards have guns.
Obama and Michelle can stuff Kwanzaa right up their rear ends. If anyone doubted he was a racist then there should be no doubt left. Why this screwball is in the White House I still don't understand, How could anyone have voted for him if they read his history? I guess they didn't. Every day he and his groupies are in Washington this country suffers.
The fact that their is even a possibility of his being re-elected is scary. It must not happen.
GUNNER221 YOU ARE MUCH TO KIND. OBAMA AND MICHELL CAN STUFF KWANZAA UP THEIR ASSES. AND IF THEY NEED ANY HELP, I WILL BE GLAD TO PUT MY NUMBER 12'S UP THEIR ASS ALSO. AND THAT GOES FOR HIS MENTOR GEORGE SOROS ALSO, I WOULD PUT MY NUMBER 12'S UP HIS BUTT ALSO. IT JUST BLOWS MY MIND, WHEN I THINK HOW MANY STUPID PEOPLE WE HAVE IN AMERICA. AND THEY ALL DIDNT COME HER ILLEGALLY EITHER, SOME OF THEM WERE BORN HERE. MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER.
well sure looks like your plan to hit gunner failed. LOL GO GUNNER>
I have no words to proclaim my dislike (hatred) of Obama. He is so bold in his actions and words showing his desire to strip all Americans of our God given rights. He is living like a "king" while telling the American people to tighten their belts and save money by staying away from Las Vegas. He is the most arrogant, self-centered, self-serving and self-adulating person I have ever known.!!!! I read today (I had forgotten this) that within the first five minutes of his presidency, he signed a "full executive order" putting all of his records and documents "in hiding" and I wondered why??? What was he hiding from the American people? He has a "boxed-in brain" full of styrofoam peanuts…thanks 32eagle for allowing me to use your clever phraseology!!!!!
This would make a great Saturday Night Live skit if it weren't true! How on earth America ever wound up with this abomination as president, is beyond me. But wait, I know. The majority of Americans are much too stupid to be allowed to vote….yet, we encourage the dumbest, most worthless, least capable among us to have an input as to how the rest of us will be governed! Stupid? You bet!
What do people expect from a racist Marxist? The idiot left would like to erase all of American history and make up their own. Most black people in America have never been to Africa and don’t have relatives from there, either. Why the facination over African “roots”… I sure don’t go with the European socialist crowd just because my ancestors came from therel.
The Obamas are anything but ‘post racist’. They showed it from the beginning and yet…stupidly, mostly white ‘educated’ people elected him. The Obamas, obviously, HATE all of the basic American values…but they really do enjoy living ‘high on the hog’, taking advantage and abusing every possible ‘perquisite’ that they believe they are entitled to…at the tax-payer’s expense. They are a FRAUD. They just want to destroy America and make the whole world into a Global economy and governance…and they expect to be part of the ‘top dog’ elitist group. They are Marxist Racist PIGS, just like their beloved preacher Jeremiah Wright.
This site has an eerie ability to draw me back. Couldn't help offering this, which I suppose proves that GWB is also a racially obsessed collectivist:

I love how you idiots think something is not TRUE, because you thumb sucking idiots cant take truth when ever you do hear it and it's not anything good about your Messiah, Just because the jerk isn't in the spotlite you all think your sources of " this isn't true" is the holy bible one and only answer. well hey here is one for you THIS IS TRUE I ASKED OBAMA myself. now that sounds about as silly as you idiots who say " This is not true" Where did you get your facts from SNOPES lmfao.
fightnwo2010…..To put it politely,you are a – - – -ing screwball! You are proof that liberalism is a mental disorder! Your kwanzoo is a bunch of phoney bull- – -t! Idiot!
stfup, ahole. and for the other IDIOT NO I DONT DO SNOPES MORON!! I don't believe in looking for facts by a husband wife team B—CH!
I am not even a LIBERAL You FKNG MORON. Thats how stupid you are you freak. Liberal's are GOONS GOT IT A WIPE!!
In agree that Obama is an illegal President intent on destroying America and becoming a dictator lifetime ruler of this country. And all those who still think he is a messiah are delusional, to say the least, along with stupid, racist, traitors, criminals, etc. I also absolutely hate this imposter in the White House, not because of his color, but because of the abomination “content of his character” we all need to write to the republicans coming into the new congress and demand they look into his (lack of eligibility) for President and kick him out, deport him back to Kenya (along with his wife, aunt, mother-in-law and kids). Or try him for treason and rule every anti-constitutional racist law he has signed into existance illegal and no longer in effect and start all over- same for his judicial appointments. This imposter got into office ONLY because of his 1/2 black skin color and the black Hollywood elite (who now dominate the movies, music, commercials, etc.) are loving being invited to the White House to celebrate with this imposter, constitutuion and republic be damned – what matters to them is “getting theirs” and the hell with whitey and every hard working freedom loving American!
WHO is:
Steve-Barack-Barry-Hussein-Abdullah-Dunham-Soetoro-Soebarkah-Obama?
let me see! we can’t have a Miss America pegeant without balcks because that is racist but the blacks… oops, Afro-Amareicans hold a Miss Black America pageant and feel it’s okay because it supports their ethnicity. and when was the last time you heard of a white Mayoral Caucus and there was no cry of racism? but just recently it was in the news that the Black Mayoral Caucus was in session. being hispanic i guess it is good to hear about the Hispanic Studies being introduced but when will we se an American Indian month or a Chinese American month? OOPS!!! that could be construed as a racist thing to say that people of other colors had anything to do with building America! and now the pres stands up to wish us all a Happy Kwanzaa (a black holiday) after forgetting to wish us all a Merry Christmas. (did he sing white Christmas?) it seems to me that obummer is not trying all he can to unite the people he supposedly represents. o wait! yes he is! the blacks and the muslims get as much attention as he can give to them to the detriment of the other 70% of america. so who is the real RACIST in America?
I couldn't agree with you more,today the media wants you to feel bad because you were born white.You never here of miss asian pageant.All you ever hear is black and hispanic caucusesboth are a greedy bunch trying to suck the life out of the US
We need to exterminate this disease NOW, before it spreads!!! Obammy boy is the most dangerous epidemic to spread on this planet. If he and his crew of crooked czars are NOT eliminated soon… I predict the USA and most of the civilized world will end in a fast death. We must take back the great US of America. Stop all aid to all countries and create jobs for all our unemployeed, build houses for the homeless, protect our borders and send every illegal immigrant back to where they came from, these are just starters, lets get busy and :" Get er Done ".
Look at how pissed some of these idiots get when you aren't for Obama but let one of thses fks not like McCain they act the same fkn way. …… They are such hypocrites it is sickening. Look how pissed that one ahole got omg, shows how the genetic birth defect is truely on target. meaning science research has proven that LIBERALS have a genetic birth defect and that is why they think as retarded as they do. HA!!
