    About Kwanza.

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Greene also attempted to slander activist Maulana Karenga, who created the seven-day holiday in 1966. Karenga, who was convicted of felonious assault and false imprisonment in 1971, has insisted he was targeted because of his work in Black nationalist politics.

      According to Newsweek, Karenga currently serves as chair of the Africana Studies Department at California State University, Long Beach.

      A chair

        What does it mean for a religion to be “fake”? Seems like there’s a sense in which they all are fake and a sense in which none are. I don’t think you could find a definition of “fake” that would actually discriminate between religions unless you went way off the dictionary definition (like defining it as ‘older than X years’).

        Only non-witches get due process.

          It doesn't seem to have had much effect on black culture. I'd say rappers have had a lot more.

            @mik said in Actually, I think she's right:

            It firms up the stereotype.

            Which is of course stupid and helps nobody at all.

              1. It's not a religion, it's a holiday. We can have a National Donut Day, we can have a Kwanza.

              2. It was created by a guy that did some pretty bad shit in the 70's. I'm not sure he should be a role model for today's youth. The fact that he is now a professor should scare the shit out of everybody and explains an awful lot about where we're at.

              3. Is it necessary to have a celebration of African American Culture when we're going to have an entire month dedicated to it in 4 weeks?
