Can one dream of a white Kwanzaa?
In honor (?) of Kwanzaa, which doesn't seem to be getting the press this year, (Thank goodness and the scientific community is united in that fact).
This year's theme from their official web site...
"Kwanzaa and the Seven Principles :
Willing the Well-Being of the World"
Here's my holiday rerun...
So this is Kwanzaa
With apologies to the "Twelve Days of Christmas".
"Seven days of a made up Holiday"
On the first day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Umoja(Unity), as in his group United Slaves.
On the second day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Kujichagulia(Self Determination), as in two dead Black Panthers killed by United Slaves.
On the third day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), as in the time Karenga served for the torture of women members of United Slaves.
On the fourth day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), as in the commercialization of a phony holiday.
On the fifth day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Nia (Purpose), as in the words of Al Sharpton, "De-Whitizing" Christmas. It's put there so the brotha's would par-tay.
On the sixth day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Kuumba (Creativity), as in the seven headed hydra symbol of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
On the seventh day of Kwanzaa, Founder Ron Karenga gave to me...
Imani (Faith), as in "People think it's African, but it's not. I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American...". a 1978 Washington Post quote from Ron Everett now known as Maulana Karenga.
HAPPY KWANZAA!
