Is Kwanzaa a Fake Holiday?

As we’re days into Hanukkah with Christmas around the corner, did you know another “important” date is coming up on the calendar: Kwanzaa, which seizes a whole week from Dec. 26 to the first of January? I didn’t either, nor did I care. Why should we?

According to the race-obsessed Left, if you don’t recognize Kwanzaa as a legitimate holiday wielding cultural importance the world over, you’re a no-good racist bigot, even though most human beings on planet Earth don’t partake in the annual seven-day “celebration of African American heritage.” So, let’s dive into the dark, very brief history of Kwanzaa and its murky beginnings.

CLAIM: According to “The Founder’s Welcome” on the official Kwanzaa website, the “African American and Pan-African holiday” is “celebrated by millions throughout the world[wide] African community,” bearing “profound significance” for African Americans.

Vice President Kamala Harris identifies as one of these longtime celebrants who repeatedly claims she can recall fond childhood memories down to the finest details of multi-generational family gatherings involving “the elders” leading Kwanzaa festivities.

  1. “Fake holiday?” What are you even talking about? All holidays are fake. Don’t start with your “Christmas is real” stuff. It’s all just shared social fiction. Doesn’t make it good or bad, except for what you make out it.

  2. I am actually old enough to remember when Ron McKinley Everett lived in an apartment that was really a converted chicken house in Pittsville! Yes, in Pittsville, Maryland, right here in Wicomico County. That’s a fact and you look it up.

  3. All holiday’s are “fake to some extent. Kwanzaa was created in 1967 and is based on Swahili cultural ideas. Fun fact, the creator of it was actually born in Parsonsburg….which is ironic for many many reasons…
