President Obama and the first lady released this statement honoring those celebrating Kwanzaa: “Michelle and I send warm wishes to all those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. This is a joyous time of year when African Americans and all Americans come together to celebrate our blessings and the richness of our cultural traditions. This is also a time of reflection and renewal as we come to the end of one year and the beginning of another. The Kwanzaa message tells us that we should recall the lessons of the past even as we seize the promise of tomorrow. “The seven...

On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented by a Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up “African” name Maulana Ron Karenga to show the world he wants nothing to do with White America. That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one to ten year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the Times.

Kwanzaa is May Day with a menorah. This fraudulent “holiday” is an affront to God, America, and the free market.
