Ha, so Black folk can't stand the white man's christmas so they make up a bull shit celibration which copies jews hanukkaa and you put in your own hippie loving shit for the religion even though everybody in africa is either killing each other or just plain starving to death. glorify the "great" nation of africa. the plagued country
@79pensacola Your reaction is natural for someone who doesn't understand what Kwanzaa is. Kwanzaa isn't a religious holiday. It's a cultural holiday. Someone who celebrates Christmas can celebrate Kwanzaa and vice versa.
Africa is the birthplace of humanity and the entire world has eaten off of Africa's plate in the form of natural resources, human resources and ideas. If your home is plagued, as you say, wouldn't it still hold a special place in your heart?
wow are you dumb..africa doesn't even have fruits and vegetables..when the europeans came,they bringed the agriculture resources so that africa can have what this bullshit so called "cultural holiday" is all braging about

Fair enough but... I think this is brain washing, these kids are just regurjitating what they've been fed... Funny, reminds me of religious brainwashing of children.
African Americans (the culturally aware) are a funny kind. As an African from East Africa who has been exposed to these cats, I think it's fair to say it. Why are they a funny kind? Come on man, look at this shit! LOL! Black Pride, huh? *rolls eyes....*
So how come there's only black people represented in this video if Kwanzaa is for people of African decent; doesn't that pretty much include everybody?
@VENOM3RDUM Technically, you're right. But when you hear the words 'of African descent' what comes to your mind first; the whole world or black people?
@okerarasi personally, the whole world. The "holiday" just seems stupid if ask me. America is collection of lots of cultures from around the globe with it's own added twist. By 1966, "black" people in America had a completely different "culture" than their African counterparts. Plus, not all "black" Americans come from a direct line stemming from African slaves, especially now in 2012.
@Dobermite Jesus has nothing to do with Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa wasn't created as a counterpoint to Christmas. Christmas is no longer a relevant description to honor the birth of Jesus. Christmas is now known as a winter festival. And ?as we stray from the true meaning of observing Christmas", the pope is actually correct on that concept.
Look what they're doing to the kids in this video, its sick, its child abuse.
Its straight up CULT INDOCTRINATION
Go look at videos of cults and you see same thing, no difference in expression or tone cause it all comes from the same place, its all demonic.
Yeah thats right, I don't mince words, you mess with this stuff and you are messing with THE OCCULT, and the devil AIN'T STUPID, he knows how to separate you from God, he knows the guise of "black pride" will suck you right into his trap.
@okerarasi Brother you want to hear me on this and I'm only telling you this because I love you, the devil is smart, he's been around since the Garden of Eden where he first separated man from God and he's had thousands of years to perfect his craft since then, so he's only gotten better at it.
He knows black pride is powerful weapon with black folks and he will use that to separate you from Jesus. He'll tell you Jesus is for the white man, but I have something better for you, but he is a liar
But he doesn't tell obvious lies. He is a master of deception and he knows how to mix truths with lies, thats why the Bible also calls him the author of confusion.
But don't be confused about this, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of Christ and any holiday that diverts your attention away from that is straight up heresy, and Kwanzaa was designed to do just that, divert your attention away from Jesus under the guise of black pride.
The devil knows all about pride. That was his undoing.
The devil is a fallen angel, but he wasn't just any angel, he was anointed cherub and the Bible tells us he was the most beautiful of all the angels, and because of that he became filled with pride and thats when inequity was found in him, he wanted to ascend to GOD'S THRONE and was even able to entice a third of the angels to join his rebellion. So pride is the emotion he understands the most.
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..
Anyone who celebrates some made up nonsense specifically designed for black folks to take the focus off Christmas, on one of the two holiest days in Christianity, the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord & Savior, JESUS CHRIST, is flat-out messing with their own salvation.
This is a slap in our Lords face.
How dare you insult Jesus like this?
CUT IT OUT, FOOLS
This thing (Kwanzaa) was designed in the pits of hell, under the guise of black pride, to take you away from JESUS
@2550505 Well, first of all, its a very interesting holiday and second, you should be lucky enough to learn about your own heritage. Everybody wants to learn more about their ancestors and their own culture. I think Kwanzaa is very fascinating and very interesting. Do you agree?
I've got nothing against the principles of Kwanzaa itself, but it seems a little artificial to me, since it was so deliberately created, and so recently, too. It certainly wasn't a bad idea, but it just seems a bit... odd.
@karoslif Kwanzaa celebrates a people and their culture.
Kwanzaa and Christmas are two separate holidays. It's not like if you celebrate one you can't celebrate the other. Many people celebrate both. Kwanzaa is not a Black Christmas. It's something different.
Christmas celebrats Christ birth,who is a historical figure<---he's historical to Christians. And Christianity is only absorbed by African-Americans because white slave masters pushed that foolishness on our ancestors as a mechanism to make them submissive as slaves. Kwanzaa is a celebration of important aspects cherished by African-Americans and we can celebrate it if we want. we're entitled to tht. We don't have to things ya'lls way for it to be right. Get over urself. so pathetic.
@DivinelyMochaDipped Jesus is not a historical figure to christians only,his existence is a fact that secular historians themselves do not refute,have you done any research that proves anything different? and by the way,i too am african american but i do not accept any foolishness just because it looks african.
@karoslif this very sad( seperationists pass away lonely? ) person is fixed on K which is of course a letter of Energy that can be actioned on in both, Higher and Lower Vibrational Ways- my cup overfloweth, may it flow to embalm a bitter heart caught in the lower vibe of K- I on the other hand Celebrate K-PAX-Power iLOVE
So in short Kwanzaa was made up out of thin air by a man who tortured two little girls; and the whole point of the holiday is so black people can celebrate being black? That's kind of fucked up and exceedingly racist.
@TheClayPeopleAreHere Isn't every holiday made up? Since Kwanzaa is one of the newer holidays it gets met with resistance. And how in the world is a black person celebrating their culture racist?
@okerarasi Think about it. The KKK say they are just celebrating their heritage but I doubt anyone would say they aren't racist. Granted they killed a butt load of people in the past but I'm trying to make a point beside that. Also I don't like that such a supposedly joyful celebration was created by a child torturer. I am for equal rights but Kwanzaa just doesn't strike me as a good thing.
@TheClayPeopleAreHere I don't know of anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa burning crosses on people's lawns or riding in packs and hanging people from trees or doing anything like to that. I'm not really feeling your analogy of comparing people who celebrate Kwanzaa with the KKK.
Maybe you don't feel good about Kwanzaa because you don't understand it. If you take the time to understand it, I think you would respect it whether you choose to celebrate it or not.
@agents1986 wow!!!!...I guess I would be ignorant and racist if I sit up here and argue with you. So I'm just gon laugh..hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
@leonarddaccardi There is no 'Baby Kwanzaa'. Kwanzaa and Christmas are two separate holidays. It's not an 'either-or' competition. A person can choose to celebrate both holidays.
The 'Harvest' of Kwanzaa is symbolic. It's the harvesting of the 'Fruits' of the goals and aspirations that were set the previous year.
@gharrisishere Kwanzaa was created in America. It's based on concepts that are common in many African harvest celebrations. So it's not strange that your friend from South Africa didn't know what you were taking about. Ask her if she knows anything about harvest celebrations in her country. You may see some similarities with Kwanzaa there.
I don't celebrate kwanzaa ( I appreciate the sentiment, but I still think it's excessive) however, it is no faker than any other holiday i.e. Christmas, it has just been celebrated for a shorter period of time than most other 'holidays'
@0neofthem Hey asshole, apparently you're obsessed with Blacks just by searching these videos up, huh? Get a damn life and go somewhere you stupid cracker.
@0neofthem And so you'll be destroyed or tortured in a FEMA Camp. All the dumbasses like yourself are gonna die without a doubt. You dumb son of a bitch.
@TurboTurbulence22 bold statement coming from a little boy. still doesn't change the fact that you're a useless bitch. so go douse you're apartment in gasoline and burn in hell.
@0neofthem Nah, you're just gonna learn one day the hard way. And I stay in a house btw, but my life isn't sad and fucked up like yours. Oh well, people like you will continue to suffer lol.
@flavordave73 Recognizing that two people are culturally different is an important thing. I don't see that as necessarily a negative, but a people can't just forget their race in the name of togetherness & accept someone elses culture can they?
thats bullshit!!!! atlanta has big kwanzaa celebrations every year as well as pre-Kwanzaa celebrations!! to the afrikan dad, fuck em!!! christmas is a pagen holiday created by caucasoid pagen worshipping homosexual, barbaric crackers. fuck that christmas catshit!! caucasoids always r afraid of what builds the Black nation!! dam what caucasiods say or think!! HAPPY kWANZAA!!!!
@pounder2day Well I totally disagree with you. I am a Black American and I started celebrating Kwanzaa with my children over 15 years ago. We celebrate CHRISTmas as the birth of Christ. As I became more educated and aware of the need for children to know something about their past inorder to be effective leaders in the future, I let go of all the pagan traditions. I also taught students in the public school system about all the different ways to celebrate holidays & values, including Kwanzaa.
@pounder2day I can answer that question my whole family on my fathers side CELEBRATE this holiday, and in case you want to go there, more than half of them are well educated black professionals in white America. i myself have been celebrating it for 17 plus year Im know forty years of age. Truth be told this was an issue in my family on both side, but my fathers side of the family are very proactive and I presented them with a challenge know the history and know the facts. They did just that
@pounder2day LOL,Well if you have been all over this country as you claim, I have 4 intelligent questions for you? 1. Were you in mostly white populous were there is only a few African Americans 2. Were you in a area were there is NO African Americans. 3. Why does this concern you so much if your not African american or some Mis-educated black person. 4. Are you really trying to know? because there is thousands of African Americans that do. Even in the Ontario province its celebrated by many.
@davisismail1comcast --.1. No. 2. No. 3. I'm Black American, so that's why I know you're fronting. No need to lie and say Kwanzaa is a standard holiday for african americans, because you and i both know it's NOT, and you know the majority of black americans DO NOT. The few in here stating they do, well I'm sure, thus the reason you are on this vid commenting, however, do african american media displays kwanzaa? I've not once seen an african american film where the family is celebrating.
@pounder2day --media is the representative/voice of the people. with that said, media of any sort, from music to film, does not show african american families celebrating kwanzaa, nor have I (black american that was born and raised in south la, fathers side is creole from N.O and mothers side from NC) have never nor heard of anyone celebrating kwanzaa, my brother goes to LSU, it's not celebrated as standard there, nor is it at Grambling. Please, no need to lie, just say yes, there is a MINORITY.
@pounder2day In response to both of your comments. I made no inference as to MINORITY or MAJORITY. Maybe its you, my young friend that might need to work on his clarity in questioning. I merely responded to your statement at the bottom of this page. As to frontin I leave that to this young generation that has major identiy issues. Louisiana, hmm has one of the lowest aptitude rates of education in this country, and thats white curriculum, I ve not even included the black education curriculum.
@davisismail1comcast --I'm not exactly sure what Louisiana's education system has anything to do with this discussion, but my point whether the last quote or the bottom of the page is clear. I don't know anyone that celebrates Kwanzaa nor should anyone act like it's a commonly celebrated holiday amongst african americans, because fact is, it's not. point blank.
@pounder2day My point is do not be so quick to criticize something based own POP-ularity contextual shallow data, its skewed and based on a skewed platform. When it comes to your own history, if you want to claim it as such. In this country it will always be viewed as suspect, and do you know why. If you really study history and I hope you will, you will see a pattern of those who tried to oppress another group, does it by taking there traditions and history and replacing it with theirs.
@pounder2day Let me leave you with this young man. when you are serious about researching or attacking something, you first need to do your home work. I have been at this too long. Most African americans don't celbrate Kwanzaa, your correct there are many who do not even know it exist, just like they also don't know that we have our own independance day, many never heard of names like Dred Scott ,Nat Turner, Dusable, Tousaint Overture, Marcus Garvey and yes even Kwame toure or Malcolm x. cont
Africa is extremely abundant w/ natural resources (referring to alloys, diamonds, etc). From an industrial standpoint; africa's ppl should've been sitting on top of the world, not living in destitute. The sad fact is, not one single african person ever figured out what these resources were or how to make good of them, but yet it was all around them for thousands of years. Fast forward to 2010,..some,. not all, ..but some ppl of african heritage seem to want to go backwards (via: kwanzaa). Why?
@DonTerhune1200cc You're not factoring in a few small historical events like colonization, neo-colonization, the Atlantic slave trade and debt to the World Bank which put Africans at a slight disadvantage in making the most of the available natural resources. It's real naive to say that Africans didn't even know what the resources are. If you feel Kwanzaa is going backwards then you hold that thought and enjoy yourself. I didn't post these videos to get approval from anyone.
@okerarasi See, one of the big reasons African nations are in debt is they seem to like to kill each other. With diamonds and other natural resources being harvested illegally (by slaves, how ironic!) and sold on the black market to fund the various tribal armies, the governments have to take out loans from around the world. Several other geographical areas survived colonization just fine, such as the Indian peninsula. Saying that issues like colonization and debt cause ignorance is ignorant.
@hackerdude666 Did this quote really come out your mouth?: 'Saying that issues like colonization and debt cause ignorance is ignorant.' Colonization and debt DESTROYED Africa. It wasn't a good thing. You say it like it's just some casual occurrence.
@okerarasi Well, when it happened, it was. India and Thailand both survived colonization, and neither of them turned out like Africa. The fact is, Africa is just riddled with natural resources that the rest of the world wants. The fact that they were colonized didn't hurt them. The fact that the inhabitants were, and still are, pretty violent towards each other made the Empire pull out. The debt that plagues Africa, also, was created internally around those resources.
@hackerdude666 We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. No way I'm buying that colonization was casual and that the 'Empire' pulled out because the Africans were too violent against each other. That violence was rooted in the divide and conquer tactics of the 'Empire'. Once they raped the continent of the resources, THEN they left. With their puppet rulers in place.
Well it is true some of our people have connects with West Africa more than East Africa, but you have to understand that these wicked people have made Africans so immature, thoughtless and clueless against each other and we shouldn't allow them to victimises us in ever corner of life.
OOPS, lol, One third of the world is Christian, add to the One Third all of the people who dont count themselves christian and celebrate christmas anyway.
Time once again to celebrate the "age old" tradition of Kwanzaa. (an !AMERICAN! holiday dating back to 1966) This wonderful (choke, hack) holiday is actually celebrated by 1-5% of the american black population, So if some loser tries to use it to get out of work its entirely ok to tell him to pound sand and fire him. Keep in mind this is compared to the One third of the world that celebrates Christmas, including black christians all over AFRICA. Enjoy your Panther holiday. No extra days off.
And Kwanzaa was created by a man, while in prison, who was convicted of torturing two women in a cult that he had started. The question you need to ask is "why doesn't anybody ever talk about that?"
@XxGRIZZWALDxX It IS talked about. Like 50 thousand times in other parts of these comments. I, nor anyone I know who celebrates Kwanzaa, condones the allegations that Karenga tortured women. But Kwanzaa is bigger than Karenga. Kwanzaa's not a Karenga-worshiping holiday. Karenga's not perfect. Neither are any of us. We make mistakes. But the meaning and impact of Kwanzaa is what I focus on. Not the imperfections of its creator. And for the record, Kwanzaa was created BEFORE Karenga was imprisoned
What's with all the racist crap? Just stfu and stop watching if you are just going to type ignorant pea-brained comments. Around Christmas and other seasonal holidays this time of year should bring out the best in people...but it always manages to let some idiots stop by.
WHERE IS THE REST OF THIS CLIP???....its awesum to have children explaining it !
whomever you are and you celebrate KWANZAA ...dont let anyone discourage you .... ALL celebrations are man -made anyway.....the popular ones simply stood the test of time ....2000 years from now people will not remember the Kwanzaa naysayers anyway...just look at Christianity..lol
why do black Americans celebrate Kwanzaa even though the africans in east africa who speak "Swahili" dont even know what the fuck it is? Anyway, i speak swahili and Kwanzaa doesn't mean "the first fruit of the harvest", it's just the direct translation of the english word "first".
we have been thru this again and again! kwanzaa, the celebration.. not kwanza, the word. the extra a at the end was added to explain the difference. this is an AFRICAN AMERICAN celebration, it was created in this country. any book on kwanzaa will tell you that. why do you ignorant fucks keep trying to score a point by asking the same stupid questions? why do you even care? there THOUSANDS of different celebrations in this country, do you go around asking fool questions about those?
@wiseye61 Kwanzaa wasn't created in Africa, which is why East Africans may not have heard about it. It was created in America BASED on African tradition around harvest celebrations. Swahili was chosen because it's the most widespread language in Africa. Thanks for pointing out the definition of the word 'Kwanzaa'. I believe it was taken from the saying 'Matunde ya Kwanzaa' and I think THAT means 'First Fruits of the Harvest'. If that's not right, let me know.
its not a religion, moron. you dont have to "believe" its not based on some myth.
its a celebration of culture. its a committment black people make to their community. WE make it real, its only "fake" when we dont live up to our committments. african american folks in this country created a lot of african derived traditions jazz, quilting, hip hop, etc. people continually post the same stupid points, why dont you pick up a fucking book on subjects before you bash?
Fake holiday. You can celebrate your heritage at any time, and it's perfectly fine. But don't call it a holiday, like it's Christmas or Hannukah. I suppose you'll next be demanding that TV stations and schools start mandating we include the Kwanza in all holiday greetings, etc.
@nritnrat WHEN??? WHEN??? WHEN DID WE DEMAND THIS?!!! OMFG, I MUST HAVE BEEN ON THE MOON!!! AND WHO ARE YOU TO TELL US WHAT THE FUCK WE CAN CALL A HOLIDAY OR NOT?!?! You are currently debating that a holiday or a "true" holiday can only be real if it is religious, then what about the 4th of july, or thanks giving, or COLUMBUS DAY!!!!?!! stfu, we aint demanding shit for this holiday, and never did!!!
there is nothing fake about kwanzaa, we know the who, where what why and how of this celebration. its not based on some myth of a virgin birth or 7 day candles. WE DEFINE for ourselves what our celebrations will be. yes, i would be totally against kwanzaa being mandatory in any official govt greetings. i dont want to see white community debase and exploit it. now fuck off
nothing phony about it, its not based on a myths. its a cultural observation. and i hope white america avoids the holiday because karenga was a communist at the time, so much the better. go and do your jerk off somewhere else.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
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.
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.

Anyone who celebrates some made up nonsense specifically designed for black folks to take the focus off Christmas, on one of the two holiest days in Christianity, the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord & Savior, JESUS CHRIST, is flat-out messing with their own salvation.
This is a slap in our Lords face.
How dare you insult Jesus like this?
CUT IT OUT, FOOLS
This thing (Kwanzaa) was designed in the pits of hell, under the guise of black pride, to take you away from JESUS

I've got nothing against the principles of Kwanzaa itself, but it seems a little artificial to me, since it was so deliberately created, and so recently, too. It certainly wasn't a bad idea, but it just seems a bit... odd.

Christmas celebrats Christ birth,who is a historical figure<---he's historical to Christians. And Christianity is only absorbed by African-Americans because white slave masters pushed that foolishness on our ancestors as a mechanism to make them submissive as slaves. Kwanzaa is a celebration of important aspects cherished by African-Americans and we can celebrate it if we want. we're entitled to tht. We don't have to things ya'lls way for it to be right.

@okerarasi Think about it. The KKK say they are just celebrating their heritage but I doubt anyone would say they aren't racist. Granted they killed a butt load of people in the past but I'm trying to make a point beside that. Also I don't like that such a supposedly joyful celebration was created by a child torturer. I am for equal rights but Kwanzaa just doesn't strike me as a good thing.

@TheClayPeopleAreHere I don't know of anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa burning crosses on people's lawns or riding in packs and hanging people from trees or doing anything like to that. I'm not really feeling your analogy of comparing people who celebrate Kwanzaa with the KKK.
Maybe you don't feel good about Kwanzaa because you don't understand it. If you take the time to understand it, I think you would respect it whether you choose to celebrate it or not.

@leonarddaccardi There is no 'Baby Kwanzaa'. Kwanzaa and Christmas are two separate holidays. It's not an 'either-or' competition. A person can choose to celebrate both holidays.
The 'Harvest' of Kwanzaa is symbolic. It's the harvesting of the 'Fruits' of the goals and aspirations that were set the previous year.

@gharrisishere Kwanzaa was created in America. It's based on concepts that are common in many African harvest celebrations. So it's not strange that your friend from South Africa didn't know what you were taking about. Ask her if she knows anything about harvest celebrations in her country. You may see some similarities with Kwanzaa there.

I also taught students in the public school system about all the different ways to celebrate holidays & values, including Kwanzaa.

davisismail1comcast 1 year ago
@davisismail1comcast --.1. No. 2. No. 3. I'm Black American, so that's why I know you're fronting. No need to lie and say Kwanzaa is a standard holiday for african americans, because you and i both know it's NOT, and you know the majority of black americans DO NOT. The few in here stating they do, well I'm sure, thus the reason you are on this vid commenting, however, do african american media displays kwanzaa? I've not once seen an african american film where the family is celebrating.
pounder2day 1 year ago
@pounder2day --media is the representative/voice of the people. with that said, media of any sort, from music to film, does not show african american families celebrating kwanzaa, nor have I (black american that was born and raised in south la, fathers side is creole from N.O and mothers side from NC) have never nor heard of anyone celebrating kwanzaa, my brother goes to LSU, it's not celebrated as standard there, nor is it at Grambling. Please, no need to lie, just say yes, there is a MINORITY.

@pounder2day In response to both of your comments. I made no inference as to MINORITY or MAJORITY. Maybe its you, my young friend that might need to work on his clarity in questioning.

@pounder2day My point is do not be so quick to criticize something based own POP-ularity contextual shallow data, its skewed and based on a skewed platform. When it comes to your own history, if you want to claim it as such. In this country it will always be viewed as suspect, and do you know why. If you really study history and I hope you will, you will see a pattern of those who tried to oppress another group, does it by taking there traditions and history and replacing it with theirs.

Africa is extremely abundant w/ natural resources (referring to alloys, diamonds, etc). From an industrial standpoint; africa's ppl should've been sitting on top of the world, not living in destitute. The sad fact is, not one single african person ever figured out what these resources were or how to make good of them, but yet it was all around them for thousands of years. Fast forward to 2010,..some,. not all, ..but some ppl of african heritage seem to want to go backwards (via: kwanzaa). Why?
DonTerhune1200cc 1 year ago
@DonTerhune1200cc You're not factoring in a few small historical events like colonization, neo-colonization, the Atlantic slave trade and debt to the World Bank which put Africans at a slight disadvantage in making the most of the available natural resources. It's real naive to say that Africans didn't even know what the resources are. If you feel Kwanzaa is going backwards then you hold that thought and enjoy yourself. I didn't post these videos to get approval from anyone.
okerarasi 1 year ago 5
@okerarasi See, one of the big reasons African nations are in debt is they seem to like to kill each other. With diamonds and other natural resources being harvested illegally (by slaves, how ironic!) and sold on the black market to fund the various tribal armies, the governments have to take out loans from around the world. Several other geographical areas survived colonization just fine, such as the Indian peninsula. Saying that issues like colonization and debt cause ignorance is ignorant.
hackerdude666 1 year ago
@hackerdude666 Did this quote really come out your mouth?: 'Saying that issues like colonization and debt cause ignorance is ignorant.' Colonization and debt DESTROYED Africa. It wasn't a good thing. You say it like it's just some casual occurrence.
okerarasi 1 year ago
@okerarasi Well, when it happened, it was. India and Thailand both survived colonization, and neither of them turned out like Africa. The fact is, Africa is just riddled with natural resources that the rest of the world wants. The fact that they were colonized didn't hurt them. The fact that the inhabitants were, and still are, pretty violent towards each other made the Empire pull out. The debt that plagues Africa, also, was created internally around those resources.
hackerdude666 1 year ago
@hackerdude666 We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. No way I'm buying that colonization was casual and that the 'Empire' pulled out because the Africans were too violent against each other. That violence was rooted in the divide and conquer tactics of the 'Empire'. Once they raped the continent of the resources, THEN they left. With their puppet rulers in place.

shoobedoorocketship 1 year ago
@wiseye61 Kwanzaa wasn't created in Africa, which is why East Africans may not have heard about it. It was created in America BASED on African tradition around harvest celebrations. Swahili was chosen because it's the most widespread language in Africa. Thanks for pointing out the definition of the word 'Kwanzaa'. I believe it was taken from the saying 'Matunde ya Kwanzaa' and I think THAT means 'First Fruits of the Harvest'. If that's not right, let me know.

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.
