“Jill and I wish everyone a happy Kwanzaa.” The presidential couple appeared in the congratulatory video made public next to a table with the prescribed candles and fruits of the festivity. “During this celebration, millions of people will gather with family members to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the past and look to a brighter future,” added Jill Biden. “With each candle you light, we hope your home is warmed by the laughter of family and friends, your hands are inspired by creativity, and your heart is filled with determination, faith, and love.”

For her part, Vice President Kamala Harris, who passes for African-American, was even more lyrical in congratulating her: “Every year, our family and our extended family, we would come together, through several generations, and we would tell stories,” she said. “We’d light the candles and of course we’d have a beautiful meal afterwards.”

It’s all so fake that it’s worth reviewing, even though the ‘holiday’ is completely unknown outside the United States and even though the majority of black Americans prefer to celebrate Christmas like the majority of their compatriots. In this sense, Kwanza, and the effort that progressives have to make it real, is a perfect example on a scale of the social engineering of the American left. Because it’s a fake holiday invented by a communist, violent pervert and convicted criminal, Ronald McKinley Everett, also known by his chosen name, Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga.

Karenga was one of the founders of an extremist black separatist movement called “Organization USA,” which the FBI funded as part of its efforts to provoke conflict between black political groups. In this case, the objective was achieved, and the Karenga group clashed with the Black Panthers in a conflict with fatalities.

Later, Karenga was sentenced to ten years in prison for something as fashionable as gender violence, in his case about women he kidnapped, stripped naked and beat with an electric cable.

The Karenga invented Kwanzaa in 1966 to racialize Americans and to dissolve all ties that could bind blacks to a strong link to mainstream American culture. He wanted “to give blacks an alternative to the existing holidays…instead of being limited to the customs of the dominant society.”

Curiously, to name the “traditional” party and its Seven Principles (Unity, Self-determination, Collective Work, Cooperative Economy, Purpose, Creativity and Faith) he chose Swahili, the same language that gives the characters of the Lion King their names, a language of the east coast of Africa, from which no slaves left descendants in the United States.

Today Karenga enjoys a stint as chair of the Department of African Studies at California State University, Long Beach, where he uses federal grants to teach blacks to hate their country and whites to hate themselves.
