For those of you interested, this is the history of Kwanza.
While commonly viewed as an "African" holiday, observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, Kwanzaa actually was created in the U.S. in 1966 by Dr. Maulana "Ron" Karenga, the head of a violent black-power group, United Slaves Organization, which was a rival to the Black Panthers.
In the 1970s, Karenga served four years in prison for conspiracy and assault in the torture of two female followers. Karenga was convicted of whipping them with electrical cords and beating them with a karate baton after stripping them naked. He placed in the mouth of one of the victims a hot soldering iron, also scarring her face with the device. He put one of her big toes in a vise, and detergent and running water in both of their mouths.
In a 1978 interview quoted in the Washington Post, Karenga said, "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. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of bloods (blacks) would be partying."
Kwanzaa is taught in public schools, recognized by corporations and was saluted in a proclamation by President Bush in 2002.

Excellent.
7 out of 10, all the y'allz really detract from the overall quality of the troll. I mean, if you're going to use a word like Yallz, why bother with the apostrophe?
:p

What is this United Slaves they speak of. From my understanding its Us not USO. It was simply "Us" as opposed to "them". It was not an abrieviation. His organization was battling the Black Panthers over control of the Afro-American studies at UCLA. So yes he has a violent past. Now as for the torture charges, are they true? No one will ever know except him and the accusers. He went to jail for the crimes although he says he is innocent. With the recent shake up of the LAPD and the releasing of many innocent prisoners set up by them, he could have been innocent. There are many theories about him, one is he was working for the CIA. Who knows. Is it possible the man changed his ways? He does have 2 Ph.d's.
Although I do not celebrate kwanza who are you to judge it?
He made up a holiday using bits and pieces of african history and added things to it. Is that so wrong? Did he do something different than the man who created Christmas?
Yet the racial comments flow instead of having a intellegent discussion on the subject.

I want to visit the country of africa one day. Maybe I can drive a boat down the amazon river there. Africa also has the only object capable of being seen from space, the Great Wall. I'm not sure, but I think it was built to keep slave trappers out.

Festivus for the rest of us!!

Hmmmmmm..... I didn`t realize that Florida and Georgia was so behind the times. Here in Texas we have had that "holiday season" as far back as I can remember. No official name. We just refer to it as "LIfe is good". :D
