Marxist-inspired black nationalists and virtue-signaling white liberals celebrate a phony holiday invented by a violent felon.
This from westernjournal.com.
Moreover, that felon originally created Kwanzaa as a religious alternative to Christmas, not a corresponding secular celebration.
Nonetheless, prominent communist/globalist politicians do not care about such details, as evidenced by their embarrassing eagerness to flock to various social media platforms and wish everyone a Happy Kwanzaa, whatever that means.
President-elect Trump’s loser opponent wrote Thursday on Facebook:
When I was growing up, Kwanzaa was a special time of reflection with family and friends.
Further:
Let us carry the wisdom of the seven principles with us as we work to build a brighter future. Happy Kwanzaa.
Note: Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966. What’s Her Name was born in October 1964.
Thursday on X, communist/globalist Gov. Gavin Newsom of California and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, posted an equally nauseating “Happy Kwanzaa” video, which, for all its humiliating phoniness, at least identified those much-ballyhooed “seven principles”: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
As families across California and around the world light the Kinara over the next seven days, we celebrate the rich traditions, unity, and resilience that binds us together.

Likewise, communist/globalist Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York took time away from securing New York City’s subways to wish “Happy Kwanzaa.”
Happy Kwanzaa, New York!
Wishing all those celebrating a week filled with peace, community, and joy. pic.twitter.com/pQHSXptoRu— Governor Kathy Hochul (@GovKathyHochul) December 26, 2024
Thankfully, another X user replied to Hochul with a correct assessment of the “holiday” and its sinister purpose.
The user wrote:
Kwanzaa is a new, Marxist, European invention meant to separate black Americans from Christianity. You are probably older than Kwanzaa, Governor.
The original African faith, among those practiced in the world today, is Christianity. So Merry Christmas, dummy.

NOTE: Obviously, “collective work and responsibility,” “cooperative economics” and “faith” together do not exactly conceal Kwanzaa’s Marxist-inspired assault on Christianity.
[I]n addition to its sinister purposes,
Kwanzaa has violent and shameful origins.
In fact, as she admitted in a 2018 Los Angeles Times opinion piece, black journalist Chanté Griffin’s discovery:
Kwanzaa’s back story felt like
a personal loss and a loss for black culture.
As Griffin put it:
[B]lack nationalist Maulana Karenga unveiled Kwanzaa in 1966 to fill the gaps where the U.S. had failed African Americans.
“Unveiled,” of course, amounts to a clever euphemism for “invented.”
Four years after “unveiling” Kwanzaa, Karenga unveiled his dark and sadistic side.
Griffin wrote:
Though he denied the allegations, in 1970 he and three other members of the US Organization, a black nationalist group based in Los Angeles, imprisoned and assaulted two female members.
Trial testimony revealed that the women had been whipped with cords, beaten with batons, and seared with irons—while naked—in an effort to elicit confessions that they were conspiring against him.
Karenga subsequently spent several years in prison.
Meanwhile, Griffin agonized over the discovery.
She wrote:
My stomach lurched as I read about the trial and his conviction. Karenga was found guilty of violence against black women.
How could Kwanzaa’s inventor be that person?
Would violence against White, Hispanic, or Asian women have made the holiday’s founder less odious?
Perhaps it would have. After all, Griffin concluded that Kwanzaa:
[B]eckons us to the heights of our humanity, petitioning us to imagine ourselves and our communities in ways white American culture cannot and will not, [in which case Karenga’s history] shouldn’t tarnish the value and beauty of the holiday that promotes collective action for the collective good.
Collective action for the collective good?
[T]he Marxists never even bother to vary their rhetoric.
Meanwhile, the 83-year-old Karenga still serves as Chair of the Department of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach.
As for Karenga’s deliberate assault on Christmas, historian Keith Mayes, author of Kwanzaa: Black Power and the Making of the African-American Holiday Tradition, explained:
Since Christmas dominated the calendar at year’s end, engulfing black America in its crass consumerism and its images of a white Christ, Karenga believed Christmas stood in the way of black cultural advancement. From: National Geographic.
In short, a violent felon who tortured black women made war on Christmas and the “white Christ.”
And communist/globalist politicians insist on celebrating the holiday he “unveiled.”
Do not fall for it. Well-meaning Americans of every color should reject identity politics and Marxism in all forms.
