Dec 28, 2009 - @busysignal2006 no, little boy, gentrification and running off and having private parties where whites wear black face and eat fried chicken and politically strangle black voting areas is segregation. by your logic, black people should also ignore christianity as well, even more than kwanzaa, in the name of jesus millions were enslaved, tortured. WE NEED TO MOVING AWAY FROM WHITE INTOLERANCE/FEAR OF BLACK FOLKS DEFINING THEMSELVES. learn to live with it, dickhead

shoobedoorocketship Says:

Dec 28, 2009 - @kirra77 if kwanzaa is dead, why are you here, move on. i hope it is dead to you, feel free to ignore it. what is primitive is this inferior attitude of white folks who have a need to control and define what black folk do, PLEASE MOVE ON, IDIOT

busysignal2006 Says:

Dec 28, 2009 - i have no problem with people defining themselves but this holiday is surrounded by racism and radicalism. maulana karenga is an evil man who hates white people and tortures women

shoobedoorocketship Says:

Dec 28, 2009 - @busysignal2006 what planet are you living on that would absolved a religions that has destroyed millions of lives and condemns a week long celebration of family community because its creator is an ex con? no matter how many times karenga went to jail for the what he did, he paid for what he did, and kwanzaa is not about divinizing karenga, so no many how many times you and your fellow snotbags keep posting about it, it wont ever signify.

Jan 4, 2010 - Kwanzaa is a "cultural" celebration created by a felon that is a harvest festival in winter and uses swahili for slave descendants from Western Africa. What a wonderful idea. I think all African descendants should celebrate Kwanzaa.

okerarasi Says:

Jan 4, 2010 - From that perspective I can see why you are sarcastic. If someone is accused of a crime, does that mean they can never, ever in their life do something that is positive? Kwanzaa used African harvest celebrations as a model. The 'harvest' of Kwanzaa symbolizes us 'reaping the fruits' of the goals we set for ourselves the previous year. People didn't just 'pop up' in West Africa. They migrated there from East Africa.

shoobedoorocketship Says:

Jan 5, 2010 - @gensNormannorum these slobs point out the same points over and over and over again, stuff that has been covered over and over again. christianity has been exponentially bloodier and more brutal that the creator of kwanzaa, in fact, there is no comparision. the symbols of kwanzaa, like the decendents of blacks folks come from all over africa, idiot! so dont every worry about it!

peasah2005 Says:

Jan 7, 2010 - You tell it, okerarasi These moronic babies, always want things to go their own way. Firstly, everybody has a past and finally, yer Brother Karenga created Kwanzaa and what's the problem? Karenga was getting Africans to never forget not only roots, but where it all started for us.

gensNormannorum Says:

Jan 13, 2010 - What you say about Christianity is correct, but out of Scope and a cheap attempt to bring legitimacy to a fallacy. Christianity is 1) REAL, and 2) RELIGIOUS. I don't believe Kwanzaa is religious. I don't believe it has a self-identifiable philosophy at all, does it? In fact, wasn't Kwanzaa re-packaged in 1997 so as not to offend practicing Christians? I guess that make your comment somewhat uninformed or plainly hypocritical.

gensNormannorum Says:

Jan 13, 2010 - Good points, all, Okerarasi. I tell you what. I would be willing to do a 180 and actively promote Kwanzaa if I saw tangible results from the application of its principles into a workable philosophy that changed the direction of the black community in America today. Your demographic is imploding, and at your present rate of self-annihilation you will cease to be viable in a single generation. Change your community for the better and I will change my sarcasm and negativity.

shoobedoorocketship Says:

Jan 15, 2010 - @gensNormannorum "Christianity is REAL" what do you mean by "real", that there was a literal virgin birth 2000 years ago? 2. yes, christianity is a religion, so what? kwanzaa is not a religion, no one said it was. of course it has a philosophy you moron! UNITY, SELF DETERMINATION, CO-ECONOMICS, PURPOSE, FAITH, CREATIVITY, COLL WORK AND RESPONSITIY, very simple and easy to relate to. cite your source for your 1997 claim, dont know what you are talking about.

shoobedoorocketship Says:

Jan 15, 2010 - @gensNormannorum i would hope Okerarasi is not so gullible as to jump thru hoops for this nazi. folks like him love to see black folks trying to get white attention and approval on everything, even something within our own community. your approval is NOT needed in kwanzaa, why cant you accept that fact and stop trying to be the center of the universe?

gensNormannorum Says:

Jan 22, 2010 - Shoob, I'll admit that trying not to be the center of the universe is very difficult as we've been the center of the universe since at least 6500 b.c. (Danube Valley Civilization) when spear-chucking Egyptians were still wearing loin cloths and Mesopotamians hadn't figured out yet how to build a brick pole. Even worse, every time we try to disengage so you can run your own universe everything collapses into a complete shithole like Haiti, New Orleans, Detroit, Zimbabwe, SA, D.C., Chicago, . . .

shoobedoorocketship Says:

Jan 27, 2010 - @gensNormannorum HA HA! you have no concept of how old things really are and who did what at 5000bc! more proof for the need for independant black scholarship. the main problem with black folks now is they believe the european view of the world and have forgotten what they could do. your idiotic comments remind us of that.

gensNormannorum Says:

Jan 29, 2010 - Then prove it up. Dispatch that Euro view of the World and what black folks could do. Don't just relegate my comments with knee-jerk reactions about how idiotic they are -- respond with substance. Can't you do that?

gensNormannorum Says:

Jan 29, 2010 - By the way, for all the greatness of black folk, why is there not one single great area of black folk? Oh, that's right. It's because they are deceived or held back by the Euro whitey. They are so great, evolved and superior that they are held down, indirectly at that, by a being as inferior to them as a dog to a human. Right? Isn't that how it works? I've seen the vid of West Point in Monrovia, Liberia and how negors just squat and shit on the beach. HIV and Malaria run rampant. Very superior.

okerarasi Says:

Feb 20, 2010 - It's unrealistic to think that any one thing will singlehandedly improve the plight of people of African descent. Kwanzaa is PART of a full spectrum of remedies needed to heal and uplift people of color. Your 'active promotion' of Kwanzaa isn't needed. However, your ability to accept the fact that people celebrate their culture, even though it's different from yours, is appreciated

okerarasi Says:

Feb 20, 2010 - It is common and verifiable knowledge that the so-called 'Spear-chucking Egyptians' laid the foundation of science, medicine, architecture, religion, spirituality, philosophy, art and government the the world is based on today. The Greek patriarchs were schooled in Egypt. Lets not get that twisted.

okerarasi Says:

Feb 20, 2010 - @ gensNormannorum 'every time we try to disengage so you can run your own universe everything collapses' A group who conquers another doesn't 'disengage' until they have sucked all life out of those they conquered. So it's only logically things will collapse because the original foundation has been destroyed.

UltmtSniper Says:

Mar 10, 2010 - "What in the world is kwanzaa?" Not even the people in Africa know the answer to this question. No! I'm serious. Kwanzaa was Invented by a Convicted Torturer of Women. His first name WAS Everette and he was doing time in State Prison when he connected Feats of Strength, Airing of Grievances with the Convicts Lifting Weights, Filing grievances with the State, etc. He Tortured women by smashing their toes in vices and burnt their throats with Soldering Irons. This is the Founder of Kwanzaa. HAHAHA
