How was Kwanzaa invented?
Kwanzaa invented in 1966 by Marxist U.S. citizen, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was also a founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers gang. Karenga also worked for the U.S. FBI. There was bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves, and the United Slaves gunned down many Black Panthers. Kwanzaa was never African. It was invented in 1966 in the USA. It was an attempt to divert the devout Christian African Americans to Marxism and racial hatred. It was an attempt to use the black people of America for political goals. The seven "principles" of Kwanzaa are a mixture of racist hate and Marxism. Karenga, was asked to explain the difference between Kawaida, the underlying philosophy of Kwanzaa, and "classical Marxism." Karenga explained that, under Kwanzaa, they also hate white people. It's interesting to note that the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa are exactly the same as the seven "principles" of the Symbionese Liberation Army 60s terror group. The spirit of antiChrist is very deceptive. The African American people have been among the most dedicated and anointed of God's people, and this is because they have been humble. God passes over the proud. Not too many rich and powerful are called to a deep walk with God. God chooses the politically weak, the poor, rich in faith, and in them He shows His great power. Kwanzaa is the spirit of anti-Christ attempting to deprive the African Americans of their deep and rich Christian roots.
