kwanzaa is not a holiday its a celebration because it isn't religious. its about celebrating our heritage and furthering our love for ourselves and other african americans. its not extreme, it isnt about hate, and this video was great. It can be as simple as sitting around a table and talking about each day with family, as my family has done for years, or more traditional with special clothing and ceremonies. lighten up people.
Since loving and appreciating ourselves brings out such hateful reactions, I'm more sure than ever that celebrating KWANZAA is important and valuable.
Ok. Just wow. I came to watch a simple video and I see all these hateful comments. If you all dislike the holiday then don't watch a video whose title is "Sesame Street: Kwanzaa." You all act like this video was forced upon you. Secondly, I bet half of you don't even know why you celebrate Christmas. Do you even go to church or do you just wait for presents to arrive under your Christmas tree? It's called culture people. The holiday educates people on their past and prepares them for the future.
Kwanzaa is a fake holiday...it was invented by a radical black supremacy in the late 20th century. It is celebrated by approximately 20,000 people in the united states every year, which is about 1/5 the amount of pagans that celebrate the winter solstice in the united states every year.
This video was wonderful. It is terribly sad how much racism is directed towards Kwanzaa (just by reading some of these comments I am disgusted). Why is it that America's media only wants to see negative depictions of African Americans? There is nothing wrong with someone celebrating their ancestry especially if their ancestors built this country through their blood, sweat and tears.
@WahidahFowler I totally agree. The racist comments merely show a twisted obsession with black people. You will notice that these same commenters search out many videos with black people in them, and make hateful remarks. They sweat us, envy us, and secretly desire us. It's evident by their own words. They hate themselves for it, so try to prove their dislike by showing how much of a lower level thinker they can be on youtube videos...sad, but true. Great observation though.
america is not a white people country, why does i always have 2 see racist comments, on videos where people are not snow color and have blue eyes,? does jesus tells you 2 be racist,? couse i know that america have a lot of problems with extremist in the us, pls answer?
@richard199522 Well first of all. Techinacally it is a white country since it is predominately white and has the same such values of old europe. Second of all your spelling sucks, it took me a second to understand what you were saying. Third of all don't put Jesus into the equation since your pagan made up religion was the actual racist one since the extremist blacks couldn't stand celebrating a holiday with whites.
If some folks want to celebrate Kwanzaa, then that's their right. But I just read this years article on ROOT about Kwanzaa and one of the interviewees said it was more important than CHRISTMAS. See now thats what makes people look stupid. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ...Kwanzaa is a made up celebration that did not even exist til 1966 when an AfroAmerican teacher started it. Its ok to be open...but there is no excuse for stupid.
@tjbollman1 How is that stupid? If someone esteems Kwanza more than Christmas, that is their right. Perhaps they are not Christian or they simply like that holiday better. How is it Christian to call someone stupid over this? I'm sure Jesus couldn't care less about which holidays people prefer. In fact I'm positive that Jesus is more concerned with how we treat each other versus holidays. I'm not coming from a bad place, just making an observation. Peace.
@nocturne1980 NO, you were NOT making an observation, you were bullying and making a judgement. That's fine if thats how you get tickled, but lets call a spade a spade,huh? I stand by my comment in reference to the Neanderthal who was stupid enough to think that the fake holiday made up by a rabid racist in 1966 is more important than the birth of Jesus Christ over 2000 yrs ago. And youre a walking idiot if you do. If you dont stand up for something, you'll fall for anything. Looks like you did.
"People think it's African, but it's not. I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of bloods (blacks) would be partying."
Kwanzaa= a bogus holiday invented by a radical black separatist and convicted felon who believed that black people shouldn't celebrate a "white man's holiday". So he took some african sounding words and added some good sounding principles and mixed them together and created yet another phony holiday for blacks to separate themselves from the rest of the world and boast their racial pride in everyone's faces..
Kwanzaa is a made up bullshit holiday practiced by former slaves who being disenfranchised with their former opressors turn to a snake oil salesman who was convicted of beating a woman with a toaster. In the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, "Know who you are to be black."
0:30 KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!! KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!!! STRANGLE IT TO DEATH!!! CUT IT'S CLIT OFF WITH A PAIR OF RUSTY SCISSORS LIKE THAT CUNT CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG IN ANTICHRIST!!!
Words like "responsibility", "collective work", "cooperation" & "purpose" are used, which is what some members of the African-American community (as well as ALL other people) need.
Remember that Christmas itself is a holiday with strange origins, it's a mixture of Germanic pagan, pseudo-Christian & Mithraic ideas, sex rites, epic battles between Norse gods, a drunken carnaval in medieval England; yet its sanitised version now teaches us the meanning of family & goodwill.
@LYFE2Short You're talking about African-Americans here... who were bought or kidnapped and enslaved, mixed with other tribes who didn't speak their language and had their WHOLE culture and history stolen from them, they've had to start again, so they have to start somewhere...
Go do some research on the history of Kwanzaa. Some of it will make you sick, like what the founder, Dr. Karenga did to a couple of his female followers.
Also, there's a lot of inaccuracies like 1. use of Corn, (not indigenous to Africa), 2. Harvest. (Who harvests in December?) 3. Swahili - (Came from East Africa-most slaves came from the West)
@Iansdaddy9 I do agree with you about the dubious origins of Kwanzaa and its cultural hotch-potch of ideas, but then again, Christmas itself is a mixture of Roman Sol Invictus, Germanic pagan, Anglo-Saxon pagan, Christian and Mithraic beliefs, and many of the people involved in its founding were not the most saintly of characters.
Also you must remember that Kwanzaa is NOT an African celbration but African-American. The presence of corn is therefore not so damning.
@Iansdaddy9 The African-Americans were taken from their lands & separated from their indigenous cultures so they've had to invent or re-invent a culture from scratch. As they were taken from various tribes in West Africa, they tend to have less of a connection to a particular area in West Africa & more of an attachment to the entire continent of Africa. They therefore inauthentically mix many cultures from all over.
@Iansdaddy9 One more point, the December harvest is found all over sub-equatorial Africa, the climate is different there. I believe that this particular feature of Kwanzaa was taken from the Ncwala first fruits harvest festival celebrated in late December in Swaziland which is in the southern hemisphere (therefore equivalent to a Mediterranean late June).
@19andoverlol It's not an African holiday so it shouldn't it be an African meal... It's an African-American holiday which is not the same. There is pan-African and Jewish symbology there...
@xprofessorelliot Yes, the Menorah of Judaism has become a representation of Jewish lamentation and sorrow.
The African-American man who invented this holiday probably picked up on that & used it in a similar way as a symbol of rising up after the devastation of what many people call the "African Holocaust".
@chucknob What's so threatening to you about a holiday celebrating the black community and their shared experiences? Have you actually ever attended a public Kwanzaa celebration?
I think Kwanza is okay, am a black from Kenya though am worried about the spiritual implications. Blacks have a right to come together just as everyone does.
Kwanzaa was created by a racist ex black panther in the 60's who also beat two black women. He also claims Christmas and the like were a "white people" holiday even though many races celebrate it. It's all black theology and typical black power bullshit. If a white guy did the same, people who whine about it being racist. Funny how double standards work.
@KaraniKun Black people were also kidnapped, enslaved, had their language, culture, and history stolen, worked to death, exploited, discriminated against, and generally brutalized. I think they deserve a holiday celebrating the black community, regardless of what you think about Ron Karenga.
@unclebanana boo fucking hoo. So many other cultures have had it MUCH worse than blacks ever had. How about the Jews? Russians under Stalin? Christians in the Middle-East? Get over yourself. The slaves were freed 150 years ago and you STILL complain about it. No one is alive today who was there during that time. Shut up and try to actually do something instead of complaining about the past.
@pantherfan17 None of the groups were ever owned outright en masse as chattel, or property, at least not within the last 500 years. The legacy of slavery, racism, and discrimination as experienced by the black community has had a lasting effect that cannot be readily dismissed.
@unclebanana you are such an idiot. So because black people were owned, that is MUCH worse than the MILLIONS of Jews murdered simply because they were Jewish. Or the MILLIONS murdered under Stalin? People like you are why racism is still alive, you continue to bring up the past that NO one today or 50 years ago was alive to experience.
@pantherfan17 Hitler murdered millions of Jews, yes. How many black folks do you suppose died in the slave trade? I don't know for certain, but I've read estimates in the 400 million range. So if you want to talk numbers, we could 'go there.' That notwithstanding, what Hitler or anybody else did (or does) does not excuse one of history's greatest crimes against humanity.
@unclebanana Are you really that stupid? You're saying that no other group but blacks in history have been slaves in the past 500 years? You know the word "slave" is derived from "Slav", right? The Slavs are white ethnic groups in the balkans who were taken as slaves en masse by the Turks right up until the 19th century.
Also, the white Europeans bought slaves off black Africans. And when Liberia was created and blacks repatriated there, they immediately enslaved the native Africans.
@chucknob Even if any of it is true, it doesn't excuse the massive kidnapping and enslavement of black people, who were used as forced labor to assist in the building of this country. As a result of this heinous abominable crime against humanity, black people in the US were robbed of their history, culture, and language, as well as placed in poverty and subjected to widespread discrimination.
@chucknob the word "Welsh" means slave in 9th century English, the word "robot" means slave in Czech, but where words come from have no bearing on the present situation.
However, no matter how bas the African Slave Trade was, and however much it should not be forgotten, black people should not use slavery as an excuse for any present situations. Zwanzaa, although a holiday with a strange genesis (like most holidays) seems a positive way to remember and teach.
@silvermoonmama Not exactly. There are fairly solid historical, cultural, and religious foundations for Christmas. Kwanzaa is simply based on separatism and pseudo-culturalism.
@heyazzhole Blacks had their language, history, and cultural identities stolen from them when they were kidnapped, and enslaved. The only way for them to have a holiday celebrating their community and shared experiences is through innovation, i.e. 'making up' a holiday. This 'made up' holiday by the way, dates back to 1966, so it's been around for almost 50 years.
@QuitePossiblyANinja Oh, so the black community needs your approval before it can have a holiday celebrating it and its shared experiences? I'll be sure to let them know.
dont get pissy. they can do whatever they want. but i feel like just because theyre black doesnt mean that they would be celebrating their african heritage. im irish and english, and all i celebrate is St. Patricks Day
@QuitePossiblyANinja You should celebrate St. George's Day too, it could be fun for you... Wear a red rose, fly the English flag (thats the red cross, NOT the British Union flag), sing "Land of Hope and Glory", have some afternoon tea with friends, do some Morris dancing, sing "Green and Pleasant Land" (aka. Jerusalem), go to an English pub in your area and have a right old drink up. 23 April...
Christmas is totally bogus because what it's getting you and I to do is to buy into falsehood of bringing peace and love and to idolize the evils of our oppressors.
Kwanzaa gets our people to know about each other, to acknowledge about their roots as well as their principals and to unite and to make a sense about our times of focusing onto each other.
Kwanza was created around 1953 by a black professor who thought that Africans deserved there own Channukah/Christmas. Kwanza isn't even a real Afrcan word, he made it up. A little history(:
I just notice Hanukkah and Kwanzza have almost the same candle holder only one has 7 and the other has 8. One has different candles the other one the candles stay the same.
This holiday has nothing to do with Christmas (except for happening same time of year), it was "borrowed" from Jewish holiday called Chanukah. Watch this to see the original: /watch?v=1JFnfGcc720
I guess the idea was (1) to water down Chrismas by making everybody celebrate something on Dec 25, as well as (2) to water down Chanukah - lets everybody light same candles.
I don't think this is really about black people. If it was - they could find something real in Black history to celebrate.
I hate how everything is all of the sudden a race issue. Idk if it started out as a bad cult or not, time has changed and it's all about family now, I'm pretty positive christmas isn't all as innocent as it's made out to be.
This makes me sick to my stomach, involving children in this racist, hypocritical fake holiday which, by the way was MADE UP by a man who abused two of his cult followers years ago. Yeah, that's someone I would want to follow. Wake Up.
@Iansdaddy9 Kwanzaa isn't a religeous holiday. It's not fake and even if it was racist in its original intent. (Which it doesn't seem to be) people certainly arent offended by it.
idk, to me kwanza is sorta racist. its created so that black would be separated from everyone else. it was created by some radical. theres nothing wrong about celebrating christmas

As a result of this heinous abominable crime against humanity, black people in the US were robbed of their history, culture, and language, as well as placed in poverty and subjected to widespread discrimination.

@chucknob the word "Welsh" means slave in 9th century English, the word "robot" means slave in Czech, but where words come from have no bearing on the present situation.
However, no matter how bas the African Slave Trade was, and however much it should not be forgotten, black people should not use slavery as an excuse for any present situations. Zwanzaa, although a holiday with a strange genesis (like most holidays) seems a positive way to remember and teach.

@tuddyfruity4 Just how exactly is it "sackreligious"?
unclebanana 1 year ago
Yes, everyone must assimilate and be judged by faceless commenters on the validity of one's chosen holiday celebration.
Seriously?!
You could just as easily have your holiday mocked and torn down in a calm, factual manner.
For example, the mindless consumerism that is now "Christmas" for most people.
But I should know better than to read comments; they're too often made by miserable people with closed minds and loose keyboards...
If you don't like it, don't watch it.
silvermoonmama 1 year ago
@silvermoonmama Not exactly. There are fairly solid historical, cultural, and religious foundations for Christmas. Kwanzaa is simply based on separatism and pseudo-culturalism.

@otnomnoraa Christmas is a syncretic appropriation of European pre-Christian rituals/festivals concocted by the Roman Catholic Church.

heyazzhole 1 year ago
@heyazzhole Blacks had their language, history, and cultural identities stolen from them when they were kidnapped, and enslaved. The only way for them to have a holiday celebrating their community and shared experiences is through innovation, i.e. 'making up' a holiday. This 'made up' holiday by the way, dates back to 1966, so it's been around for almost 50 years.

dont get pissy. they can do whatever they want. but i feel like just because theyre black doesnt mean that they would be celebrating their african heritage. im irish and english, and all i celebrate is St. Patricks Day
QuitePossiblyANinja 1 year ago
@QuitePossiblyANinja You should celebrate St. George's Day too, it could be fun for you... Wear a red rose, fly the English flag (thats the red cross, NOT the British Union flag), sing "Land of Hope and Glory", have some afternoon tea with friends, do some Morris dancing, sing "Green and Pleasant Land" (aka. Jerusalem), go to an English pub in your area and have a right old drink up. 23 April...

To all these pathetic low lifes that slam Kwanzaa, we don't care.
You can go and a head celebrate wothless 25th, but Kwanzaa from the 26th to the begnning of the New Year, that's totally fine by me.
peasah2005 1 year ago
Christmas is totally bogus because what it's getting you and I to do is to buy into falsehood of bringing peace and love and to idolize the evils of our oppressors.
Kwanzaa gets our people to know about each other, to acknowledge about their roots as well as their principals and to unite and to make a sense about our times of focusing onto each other.

I saw it spelled more than two different ways. I guess as long as you can approximate hard 'H' sound - you are ok.
Also, note how they call their candle holder: "Kenora". And Jewish original one is called "Menora".

Kwanza was created around 1953 by a black professor who thought that Africans deserved there own Channukah/Christmas. Kwanza isn't even a real Afrcan word, he made it up. A little history(:

This holiday has nothing to do with Christmas (except for happening same time of year), it was "borrowed" from Jewish holiday called Chanukah. Watch this to see the original: /watch?v=1JFnfGcc720
I guess the idea was (1) to water down Chrismas by making everybody celebrate something on Dec 25, as well as (2) to water down Chanukah - lets everybody light same candles.
I don't think this is really about black people. If it was - they could find something real in Black history to celebrate.

Kwanzaa is now getting recoginized, because the truth has be revealed what it is really about.
Kwanzaa is about African people and the African family and nothing else and it isn't like Christmas in anyway whatsoever.
Kwanzaa is a seven-day African family celbrating time of togetherness.
