Kwanzaa was invented as a black holiday in 1966 by an ex-con named Maulana Karenga. Karenga's real name is Ron McKinley Everett, he was born on a poultry farm in Maryland, the fourteenth child of a Baptist minister, he moved to California in the late 1950s to attend a Los Angeles community college, then went on to UCLA where he received a master's degree in political science and African studies.
Somewhere in the 1960s he changed his name and started an organization called United Slaves (US), a black nationalist cult, and he simply created Kwanzaa. His main opposition at the time were the Black Panthers as the two groups vied for control of the new Afro-American Studies Center at UCLA. After a rather heated meeting in 1969 about this subject two of Kalenga's followers brutally shot to death two Black Panthers who had made some disparaging remarks about Kalenga. Oddly enough, UCLA Chancellor Charles E. Young told the L.A. Times shortly thereafter that, "The students here have handled themselves in an absolutely impeccable manner."
Karenga became worried that members of his own group were conspiring to poison him and on May 9th, 1970 he tortured two female members of his group with hot irons, toe clamps, beat them with electrical cords and a karate baton after they had been forced to disrobe. Although most of the court records have been lost there were some references to the trials available from the L.A. Times microfiche center. Karenga was found guilty on Sept 17, 1971 on two counts of felonious assault and one count of false imprisonment and was sentenced to serve one to ten years in prison.
After being released from prison in 1975 Karenga eventually ended up as the head of the Black Studies department at California State University in Long Beach in 1979. Karenga disavowed his black nationalist leanings sometime during that period and converted to "Marxism". When questioned about Mr. Karenga, Long Beach State officials reply that they have no records about the hiring procedure for Mr. Karenga and that they have no concerns about his felonious and violent past.
One more thing. Kwanzaa is meant as a celebration of black cultural values of Africans that were shipped to the Americas. The vast, vast majority of those Africans came from the West Coast of Africa such as Ghana. Yet, the language of Kwanzaa is Swahili which is spoken in East African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania which are about as far from Ghana as New York is from Los Angeles. This makes as much sense as having Irish Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day by speaking Polish. Also, Kwanzaa is a harvest festival which takes place during the winter solstice - there isn't much harvesting going on at this time of year in North America. It kind of makes you wonder if Mr. Karenga actually did any research about this holiday or if he just had a bad dream.
So, thank you President Bush for participating in an invented holiday, presented in the wrong language, for a harvest that can't take place, started by an ex-convict, black nationalist, now turned Marxist who continues to spread his communist rhetoric at tax-payers expense at Long Beach State University.
(Reference material provided by Paul Mulshine, a writer specializing on the Kwanzaa holiday. Court records and other references are public documents available from the California justice and university system).
One more thing. Many schools, especially elementary schools, are refusing to use the word Christmas in their holiday pageants and songs, a movement that is taking place nationwide. At the same time, young students are being encouraged to celebrate Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Ramadan in the spirit of "diversity". Our children are being taught to despise the Christian underpinnings of our culture in favor of a holiday invented by a violent felon. Whether you believe in Christianity or not, there is no way that Christmas should be censored in favor of any of these other celebrations.
Would any of you antis like to take up for Kwanzaa and the attempts to take Christ of out Christmas?

The Mongol leader Temujin (AD 1167-1227), better known by his title Genghis Khan (Universal Ruler), was a man of strongly Nordish racial ancestry. According to the Persian historian Ab ul Ghasi, the tribal clan to which Temujin belonged, were known as the Bourchikoun (Grey-Eyed Men). [Günther (1934) 185; Lamb (1928) 22.] The ancestral mother and founder of this clan was known as Alan goa (beautiful Alan). According to the Mongol and Chinese legends on the subject, she was said to have been visited in her tent by a divine being, who possessed golden hair, a fair complexion and grey eyes. Shortly after this visitation, she gave birth to the first member of the Bourchikoun clan. [Günther (1934) 184.]
Temujin himself was noted in Chinese descriptions of him, for his tall stature and heavy beard. [Günther (1934) 185.] We should also note the following depiction of Temujin's appearance, as given by Harold Lamb, in his biography of the great Khan:
"He must have been tall, with high shoulders, his skin a whitish tan. His eyes, set far apart under a sloping forehead, did not slant. And his eyes were green, or blue-grey in the iris, with black pupils. Long reddish-brown hair fell in braids to his back." [Lamb (1928) 23.]
Ab ul Ghasi also observed that the family of Yesugai, the father of Temujin, were known for the fact that their children often had fair complexions, and blue or grey eyes. [Günther (1934) 185.] Temujin's wife, Bourtai, bore a name which means "Grey-Eyed". [Lamb (1928) 23.] As both Günther (1934) and Lamb (1928) note, Temujin's relatives and descendants also possessed fair features: Temujin's son and successor Ogadei (1229-41), had gray eyes and red hair; Temujin's grandson Mangu (1251-9), had reddish eyebrows and a red-brown beard; Subatei, who conquered China, had a long, reddish beard. Indeed, it was said that people were surprised Kubilai Khan had dark hair and eyes, because most of Genghis Khan's descendants had reddish hair and blue eyes. [Günther (1934) 185.]

Another of Genghis Khan's descendants, the great conqueror Tamerlane (1336-1405), also inherited Nordish racial characteristics. According to a contemporary, Ibn Arabshah, Tamerlane was tall and strong, with broad shoulders, a large head and high forehead, he had a heavy beard, was white-skinned and had a ruddy complexion. He also seems to have been fair-haired. [Günther (1934) 187; Lamb (1929) 153.]
This description has been confirmed in recent times. In 1941, the Soviet Archaeological Commission opened the tomb of Tamerlane, which resides in the city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Within it, Tamerlane's physical remains were discovered: they proved that he had indeed been a man of strong build and imposing stature. Most interestingly of all however, the last few hairs of a reddish-brown moustache were found adhering to the skull. [Brent (1976) 237-8.]

Were the ancient inhabitants of East Asia entirely Mongoloid? Craniological evidence reveals that during the second millennium BC, Caucasians were predominant throughout much of Central Asia, and they maintained hegemony over several areas in the region. Thus, as Day notes: "Caucasoids not only outnumber[ed] Mongoloids in Xinjiang; they also predate[d] them." [Day (2001) 192.] Even into later eras, a Caucasian minority, strongly "Northern European" in physical type, was retained. [Day (2001) 138.] The Buddhist murals at Bezeklik (see below), in the eastern part of the Tarim Basin, near the Mongolian border, bear witness to the fact that just over a thousand years ago, rugged Caucasoids, with reddish-brown hair and blue eyes, could still be found in abundance. [Day (2001) 138-9.] Eickstedt argued that these murals depict individuals of Nordic and "Proto-Nordic" (protonordoidem) type. [Eickstedt (1934) 276.] At this point, it would be germane to remember the fact that it was precisely these features (reddish hair and blue eyes) that were found as an ancestral inheritance among the family of Genghis Khan.

Definition of NIGGER 1 usually offensive; see usage paragraph below : a black person 2 usually offensive; see usage paragraph below : a member of any dark-skinned race 3
: a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons <it's time for somebody to lead all of America's niggers … all the people who feel left out of the political process — Ron Dellums>
Usage Discussion of NIGGER Nigger in senses 1 and 2 can be found in the works of such writers of the past as Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain, and Charles Dickens, but it now ranks as perhaps the most offensive and inflammatory racial slur in English. Its use by and among blacks is not always intended or taken as offensive, but, except in sense 3, it is otherwise a word expressive of racial hatred and bigotry.
Origin of NIGGER
alteration of earlier neger, from Middle French nègre, from Spanish or Portuguese negro, from negro black, from Latin niger

You know what I hate? When people don't end sentences in periods That was a sentence fragment, so it's ok.
I can't stand retarded faggots who incorrectly use colons and semicolons to appear intelligent; or they incorrectly use Latin phrases such as "ad nauseum", "ad hoc", "per se" to appear intelligent.
