I agree. They created a holiday for every religion to make sure everyone's spending $$$ and participating in the ritual around Nimrod's birthday.
Kwanzaa was created by an agent who helped destabilize the Black Panthers.
Ok, reason I asked is its big there. Only city I know that got a parade for it. I think the guy who introduced it taught a university there (Temple U) but not 100 percent sure.
Hmm , thanks for pointing that out Bro. I'll do more research.Kwanzaa was created by an agent who helped destabilize the Black Panthers.
Hmm, .. I see. Surface level, looks like he did to create trust , then turned. SmhMaulana Karenga - Wikipedia

We have had community Kwanzaa celebrations, but I don't recall any parades. I was mostly exposed to small gatherings of family and friends.
Big facts Sis. Holidays, one of the biggest economic drains weighing on us. Maybe the placement (date) was wrong, but I understand why it was done - to give us an alternative to the pagan holiday preceding ... Instead of monetary material, maybe acts of love can be substituted ... Salute ✊🏿
Same here. Kwanzaa was a much bigger deal when I was growing up than it is now.
Fuck Ron Karenga. Excuse my language. I used to celebrate it before I knew he was a sellout. Now, I utilize the principles of Kwanzaa everyday. And I make sure every person I know who wants to celebrate it that he was a sellout for this system for the reason you said.Kwanzaa was created by an agent who helped destabilize the Black Panthers.
What do you think happened to stop this? Is it that people realized that his intentions were not sincere and that he was an agent of this system?
I totally understand why you say this. We need positivity as much as we can get it.
I'm not sure; but if I had to speculate, I could think of some reasons:
Definitely not. Kwanzaa isn't a celebration of Maulana Karenga, it's a cultural event. The average person probably doesn't even know who he is.
There is so much pagan BS in western culture now it is insane. Just look at what trends when it comes to teens and young women. It is all crystals, horoscopes, hippie symbolism... It is all nonsense.
I remember they used to teach Kwanzaa in school as well. I don’t know if that’s the case any longer. My son doesn’t talk about it.
I really hope his grave gets pissed on after he dies.Maulana Karenga - Wikipedia
Yeah, I really didn't know. We all should utilize them, that we what I was trying to get at ... Salute !
True. Yeah, everybody is caught up in it. You start to feel like a hamster, just running on a wheel, playing the cog role ... Gotta support the system today. It's terrible
Everything is fueled by greed, function, or both. Either they want to sell your something, they want you to believe in something or both. That is the state of the market in America.
I don't think they ever taught us about Kwanzaa in school if I remember correctly. I doubt they're teaching it these days.
It used to be a beautiful celebration, back in the early 70's & 80's. Then, we ALL separated & began killing each other, no more village, only chaos! 😪
Don't forget Wicca, certain witchcraft, stones, yoni eggs, MBTI personalities, pronouns, edgy atheism, LGBT rainbow symbolism, etc.
That was very tame compared to what I really want to say about him, that demon racist rapist Timothy Haslett that tortured and murdered Black women, and many other anti-Black racists and traitors.
Shit you can’t say in Facebook for $400 Alex.
It's only for the likes of Kamala Harris to show how "Black" they are by claiming that they chow down Cajun collard greens and spicy Popeye's chicken sandwiches while listening to Tupac and smoking ganja during Kwanzaa. While their zaddies and haggard Susans dress in kente cloth and wear kufis.
My children were in Muslem school when they were preschool age, then the government shut ALL the schools down. They learned & enjoyed Muslem celebrated holidays.
Why did the government shut them down? Did they fear that the children of those schools would later become part of the Nation of Islam?
I remember Kwanza celebrations back when I was a kid. Big backyard BBQ feast, and music. Mountain of soul food.
That & our children would be highly intelligent. Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, etc. All of Minister Farrakhan's children are doctors & lawyers.
It has all merged. I can't tell you how many white women in their 20s I have come across who claim to be witches. Back in the day, these morons would be hung.
Haha everyone has all these sophisticated answers— I don’t celebrate it anymore, but when I did, it was nice just because of the big family/friends get together. I can hardly remember happier times.
If you think about, they are now beginning to self-identify as something that they were all along: witches. I can't wait for the day these white males and white females and their white adjacents begin self-identifying as demons so that there aren't any more false pretenses and more Black people can peak and wake up from the coon spell they put on us.
It is already happening on TikTok. There are people who identify as demons. They use the pronouns "Demon" and "Demonself". I am not even joking. My friend was showing me a vid of this last week.
