    This year those of us who cherish the phrase “Merry Christmas”
    have started to say “Merry Christ-mas” to reinsert the name
    Christ into the greeting. Here’s a reminder of how we started to
    lose “Merry Christmas” 40 years ago.

    On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an
    article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented
    by an America-hating Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett
    now uses the made up “African” name Maulana Ron Karenga to show
    the world he wants nothing to do with White America.

    That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one-to-ten
    year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black
    women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the
    Times. They didn’t want to talk about how their new hero had
    been certified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court, so they
    didn’t.

    Karenga called his new “holiday” Kwanzaa, a Swahili phrase
    meaning “first fruits” because he says it is a harvest festival.
    This is a lie. Kwanzaa is Karenga’s answer to Christmas. He
    would like nothing better than to see Kwanzaa actually become
    the “Black Christmas” he has always fantasized about.

    In his 1977 book on Kwanzaa, Karenga said it “…was chosen to
    give a Black alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks
    an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than
    simply imitate the practice of the dominant [White] society.”

    Upon hearing of the new “holiday,” a young unknown Al Sharpton
    commented that Kwanzaa “would perform the valuable service of
    “de-whitizing” Christmas.”

    The idea that Kwanzaa is a harvest festival is bogus.

    Harvests don’t happen in December, not even in Karenga’s make
    believe version of Africa. The closest thing to a Kwanzaa-like
    festival in Africa is the Yam Festival held yearly in Ghana and
    Nigeria at the beginning of August, yet Kwanzaa is celebrated
    each year between December 26 and January 1.

    A 1978, Washington Post article included this Karenga admission
    about his “holiday.” “People think it’s African, but it’s not. I
    came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country
    wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put
    it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods
    (blacks) would be partying.” Imagine if a White person had
    written that!

    When the “traditional Kwanzaa holiday” was added to the mix,
    along with “Merry Christmas and “Happy Hanukkah,” feckless
    merchants who would willingly celebrate Hitler’s birthday if
    they thought it would boost sales, folded and “Happy Holidays”
    grew by the year. Exactly when this happened is difficult to
    pinpoint, but after the Bush White House recognized Kwanzaa in
    2002 the battle was lost.

    Based on the lack of endless “Happy Kwanzaa” TV ads from “Your
    friends at…” Kwanzaa may be losing some momentum. Let’s pray it
    is gone by this time next.
