Kwanza never really caught on in the black community as a replacement for Christmas, mostly because it’s stupid, but Black Lives Matter is hoping they have a winner with their even more stupid “Black X-Mas.” There’s no gift-giving in Black X-Mas but you do get to shut down “white capitalism” and become a giant communist. Chances are, even in these racially retarded times, that this too will end up on the smoldering heap of failed black-only holidays.
Black Lives Matter has put together this handy guide to understanding Black X-Mas:
#Blackxmas, also known as #verifiedblackowned challenges our community to think and engage collectively and determine how an economic agenda plays into a Black liberation agenda. It is not a call to replace White capitalism with Black capitalism, but to engage in “cooperative economics” (the Kwanzaa principle of Ujamaa), which is a call to develop models that bring collective benefit. More tangibly, it means investing in Black organizations that benefit our community (#BuildBlack) and spending intentionally with Black-owned businesses that provide vital services, resources, jobs, and other community benefits (#BuyBlack).
So instead of giving presents to loved ones, on Black X-mas you give your money to organizations the benefit the black community, like Black Lives Matter. And then just sit back and wait for the communism.
It already sounds like tons of fun, but check out what they do for Balck X-Mas instead of caroling:

And instead of decorating the house for Christmas, on Black X-Mas you “decorate” the front of someone else’s business with protest signs and looting shrapnel:

Plus good spelling is not a requirement during the Black X-Mas celebrations:
HOW DO YOU SPELL ‘RACIST’???

And finally, on Black Christmas, you don’t have to give anyone gifts, but you do get to ruin it for everyone else:

As Black Lives Matter moves from its infancy into its institution-building phase, it is imperative that we engage beyond simple resistance to the immediate targeting of Black lives at the hands of police and focus also on the systems that require it, namely White capitalism. This means that while we must continue to stand for our people and respond to each and every killing at the hands of law enforcement, while we must challenge the policing system and reimagine public safety, we must also reimagine economic structures.
Rejecting economic structures that profit from our oppression and building our own institutions that offer collective benefit is a requirement for Black liberation.
Happy #BlackXmas!
Also “black liberation” apparently includes f*cking things up for kids with cancer.
I think Black Lives Matter would do better with a holiday that involves alcohol. Look how well Cinco de Mayo has caught on because it gives people another excuse to get blasted. Nobody wants to “celebrate” anything with communism, but throw in some liquor and suddenly lots of people are interested in hating on whitey, at least for a day.
