Senator Rant: Kwanzaa is Fake & Black People Don't Like It!

"A Republican state Senator in Wisconsin is upset with everyone paying so much attention to Kwanza, a made-up holiday he claims, "almost no black people today care about."

According to the Shorewood Patch, Sen. Glenn Grothman railed against the holiday in a December press release, saying it was invented by a racist radical in the 60s and is kept alive today by fanatical liberals who want to destroy America. African Americans, however, have almost no interest in the holiday themselves."*

Santa is just an anagram for Satan, think about it. As an atheist, I'll still celebrate Christmas, because I like holidays.

In ww1 the "young turks" regime expelled the bulk of the population from what had been western Armenia in eastern Anatolia, the majority of Armenians for almost 100 years have been scattered abroad in the diaspora long enough for intermarriage to occur, their culture is indo-Aryan (Iranic) & semi-caucasian as their homeland was south of the Caucus mountains in the area between the black sea & the caspian sea.

I was just saying cause she is Turkish but called herself white, I'm black but I'm light skin, but i still call myself black, I don't go around switching it up.

So, is he telling his 3 hos that they should get married to christmas? This puts a whole new perspective on things.

[DarkestAngel191]

actually not, "santa" has no real religious aspect, more of a moral aspect. lemme give you a story. he's the patron saint of whores. ol saint nick, wayyyy back when he was alive, at the time just regular nick, was a wealthy man. he knew a couple of ladies who were poor and had to work in a brothel to make money, even though they hated it. he gave them each enough money to not have to work there ever again.

that's where the "gift" part is-giving the money, "ho ho ho" is because of the 3 girls

Actually, it's speculated that Jesus was an actual man (minus the "miracles").

If you call yourself exposing someone elses ignorance on a subject your attitude and behavior shouldn't be comparable to the person you're talking about.

When Ana corrected his pronunciation he didn't even care. He still kept saying it wrong and laughing about it.

Cenk speaks of Kwanzaa with such disdain that it almost offends me, and I don't even celebrate Kwanzaa.

How is what he's doing any different from the Senator? They may have used different words but it's the same meaning.

And Christmas is not just to celebrate winter solace. It has the word Christ in it! It's based upon religion. Santa is named St Nick who is an actual Saint
