Does anyone actually celebrate this holiday in real life?..

Does anyone actually watch these clips of Garcetti pandering and believe he is being genuine or sincere?..

I'm sure Garcetti celebrated Kwanzaa growing up too along with Christmas and Hanukkah. Just because he's so cool and diverse like that..

Does he know that Kwanzaa was created by this guy that was convicted in 1971 for brutally torturing two naked women?.. I guess Garcetti would just call him a "justice affected individual" that "deserves a second chance.."


"
The creator of Kwanzaa is Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga, a 75-year-old professor or Africana studies at California State University, Long Beach. His real name is Ronald Everett. He was born in rural Maryland, the fourteenth child of a sharecropping Baptist minister.
Karenga was convicted in 1971 for brutally torturing two naked women. The women were members of Karenga’s ultra-radical, paramilitary, black nationalist cult called the US Organization, according to a May 1971 Los Angeles Times story dug up by FrontPage Magazine."

I've met people who celebrate Kwanzaa before but all of them celebrate Christmas as well. Only 2 percent of the US population celebrates it.

https://www.npr.org/2012/12/28/16820...-still-a-thing

Guess enough people celebrate it to get it recognized by the C-in-C

And yes Karenga is a piece of work (to put it mildly). I'm surprised the Metoo folks haven't brought him down yet.

I'm curious to know why you even care? and has Kwanzaa affected you in any way? Your focus would be better on getting your child molesting, vagina grabbing president impeached.

Happy New Year!

Don't have any exact numbers but I'd bet that there are more people who celebrate Festivus than Kwanzaa.

The only white people who gives speeches like that are closet racists who are scared of being discovered to be racist. I think a good nickname we should start using for him is KKK Grand Dragon Wizard Garcetti, because it certainly suits him after hearing that phoney speech he had others write for him to hide his closet racism. And given that illegal immigration hurts the African-American community the most, I'd say its pretty clear how Garcetti actually feels about black people.

>No. Literally zero people celebrate Kwanzaa. It's a fake holiday invented to make White people feel guilty (for some reason, no idea why that keeps getting pushed) over alleged discrimination that almost no one alive today engaged in.

>Those who virtue-signal the loudest and most often always have something to hide.


For the record I did know that the inventor of Kwanzaa was convicted of torturing anyone. Makes sense though. How many kids have been tortured in school classrooms wondering "What the heck is this shtuff"?
