Kwanzaa Is Wack
In a blog entry at News One, Adisa Banjoko questions the credibility of Kwanzaa as a holiday for African Americans. He describes it as an unauthentic holiday, not only because it was created by an FBI informant but because it is not steeped in African traditions.
... But the reality is that Kwanzaa was created by an FBI informant named Dr. Maulana Karenga. Straight up! That’s an actual fact. Beyond that, stuff like corn that is used in a lot of the rituals is not even native to Africa. A friend of mine noted “it’s truly corny.”
