  • What the Hell is Kwanzaa? I'll tell you what it is, fool. It's a holiday for people of color, because we ain't got one of our own in this racist country. Christmas? Christmas is for Whitey! Ever heard the song "White Christmas"? No? You deaf? You from Mongolia? They play that shit two straight months every year! Even Martin Luther King Day don't belong to us anymore, ya dig? White man says MLK "belongs to everybody". We say "fuck that shit, honky". Kwanzaa is an effort to right one of the of the many wrongs perpetrated against our people for the past four hundred years. You heard me. Whitey jacked MLK, so we jacked Christmas!
  • Kwanzaa is a silly pseudo-African, quasi-pagan holiday fabricated in the late 20th Century by an associate professor at California State University, Long Beach. Kwanzaa is designed to seduce our black friends to become Kwanzaa shoppers and to purchase merchandise at a discount at after-Christmas sales. This behavior is anti-American because it undermines our patriotic duty to shop during Christmas at full retail price. It is also designed to undermine Christmas and is one of the weapons used in the War on Christmas.
