It's a bogus, invented african holiday. It was created because.."Da bruddas & da sistas ain' goona cel'brate no honkey, cracker x-mas! umm hmm"

[Sarah]

So what do they do to celebrate, rape their own babies?

Get to Know Your Holiday
by Robert Rucker
Kwanzaa in a nutshell is the brainchild of Dr. Maulana Karenga. Maulana invented the holiday one year after the Watts riots of Los Angeles to exemplify the rebuilding and unity of the black community that fostered after this violent event. Thereafter it has become responsible for inspiring Kwanzaa celebrations in England, Canada, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. The foundation of Kwanzaa (meaning first fruits in Swahili) lies in the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles which begins on December 26 to January 1.

The Celebration

The first day Umoja (unity) -- to strive for unity in the family, nation, and race. The second day Kujichaglia (self-determination) means that we will define ourselves, name ourselves, and create for ourselves. The third day,Ujima (collective work and responsibility) - to build and maintain our community together and to make our sisters and brothers problems our problems. The fourth day is Ujamaa (cooperative economics), this day symbolizes our need to own our own stores, shops, and other businesses so that we all may profit together. With Ujamaa in full swing we can end some of the poverty that exist in our community. The fifth day, Nia (purpose) implies the need to rebuild our communities and making our surrounding more beautiful with an emphasis on bringing our people back to our traditional greatness. Kuumba (creativity), the sixth day of the Kwanzaa celebration strives to teach all to leave our community more beneficial and beautiful than we inherited it. The final day, Imani (faith) means that we should try with all of our heart to believe in our people, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness of our struggle to victory.

Themes and Principles of Kwanzaa

The Theme of Kwanzaa is the building of family, community, and culture. The language of Kwanzaa is Swahili since it is a nationalistic language and is spoken in every country in Africa.

Symbols of Kwanzaa

Most holidays have symbols that represents it's meaning. At the beginning of the Kwanzaa holiday, families traditionally lay a mkeka (a straw mat) on a low table to symbolize the foundation of our being. Our being encompasses our family, community and culture. Next, families put the kinara (candle holder) on top of the mat. The kinara holds seven candles. The three candles on the right side are green and signifies a prosperous future. The three candles on the left symbolize the struggle that we all must fight. The black candle is in the center and symbolies the people, the black people. Usually at home the family will put a bandera (flag) on the table consisting of the colors red, black, and green. Next place ears of muhindi (corn) on the table to symbolize the children. You can put one piece of muhindi on the table for both the sexes, or put one on the table for each child. The mazoa (fruits and vegetables) shown in the picture symbolizes one's labor throughout the year--the families success and accomplishments. Lastly, place a book on the table symbolizing education and the process of our peoples continued looking back to classical African civilization always bearing in mind Dr. Carter G. Woodson's classic quote from his book The Miseducation of the Negro, 1933.


The chief difficulty with the education of the Negro (you can put in black or african, the word negro is from that time period, RRRjr) is that it has been largely imitation resulting in the enslavement of his mind. Somebody outside of the race has desired to try out on Negroes some experiment which interested him and his coworkers; and Negroes,being objects of charity, have received them cordially and have done what they required. In fact, the keynote in the education of the Negro has been to do what he is told to do."
About Gifts

Giving gifts is not a fundamental part of Kwanzaa, and if gifts are given they are usually given to children. Unlike the Christmas holiday most Kwanzaa gifts consists of a book and a symbol of African heritage.  
Let's Feast

On the sixth day of Kwanzaa a karumu (feast) is given. The karamu consists of your traditional dish or even Carribbean or Motherland dishes. If you want more information on the Kwanzaa celebration check out the December 1997 and December 1998 issues of Essence magazine, or the fine books listed.

Kwanza is a fake made up phony black African-American holiday, because they don't believe in righteous holidays such as Christmas or Hanukkah.

Btw, what food do they eat on Kwanza? 

If any.

Kwanza is a made up holiday created by black separatists Ron Karenga of the US movement. Kwanza was created in 1967 as a way to promote black separatist and Marxist values among blacks in America. Its 7 principles are:


    * Umoja (unity)—To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
    * Kujichagulia (self-determination)—To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.

    * Imani (faith)—To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.this is the one.

Doesn't this sound ALOT like Jeremiah Wright and Barack Hussein Obama's black separatist church??? Whose 12 principles are:

1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions

Exactly if they actually followed them, i wouldn't mind if they celebrated kwanzaa everyday. Its funny how these rules are constrained to a celebration once every year and are not fulfilled as daily obligations.

Not bad wording for third world people...but what's funny to me is the "creativity" part.  I mean, Kehnorah? Are you kidding me? It's just that part I can't get over...I mean if you want to be creative do something more original like painting pretty pictures of flowers and sunshine.  Or lighting one colorful candle...I mean Kenorah? They don't think we are on to them since it rhymes with Menorah?

Eh, but then again, maybe it is in homage to us Jews and they want to imitate our beautiful holiday...eh...

[dhimmi_pride]

                 

[Dr. Dan]

                 

hehehe, that's our weekly candle each year...i guess they get to be nice once a year..Some Jews light these every week. I guess one day a year is a step up for them.

So what do they do to celebrate, rape their own babies?

No chance of that since they don't usually stick around long enough to see their babies born.   Of course this doesn't stop them from raping other people's babies to celebrate.
