Kwanzaa, annual holiday affirming African family and social values that is celebrated primarily in the United States from December 26 to January 1. Both the name and the celebration were devised in 1966 by Maulana From Britannica.com: Karenga, a professor of Africana studies at California State University in Long Beach and an important figure in Afrocentrism. Karenga borrowed the word kwanza, meaning “first,” from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, adding the seventh letter, an extra a, to make the word long enough to accommodate one letter for each of the seven children present at an early celebration. (The name Kwanzaa is not itself a Swahili word.) The concept of Kwanzaa draws on Southern African first-fruits celebrations.
It’s not even an African holiday as it was created in the United States in CA. Yet these same politicians can’t even say Merry Christmas to celebrate the birth of Christ with some going as far as not allowing Merry Christmas to be spoken in some places or mangers to be displayed. Christmas is open to all races. Kwanzaa is exclusive to African Americans so it’s not even for all blacks. Who’s the racist?
Well. he’s a FAKE Politician (Read: DEMOCRAT).
