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.

Who introduced Kwanzaa and when?
Maulana Ron Karenga(b. Ronald McKinley Everett, July 14, 1941) is the person responsible for the first kwanzaa, in 1966.
Specifically, the first celebration ran from the last week of December 1966 until New Year's Day 1967. Each year since, the event celebrates the African heritage of African-American communities in the United States of America. The celebrations always are held on the same date and in the same way each year. So the first celebration in 1966 was the beginning of a festive celebration that has become a traditional part of African-American culture.
Maulana Keranga created Kwanzaa and it was first celebrated in 1966-1967.
As a National competition, 1990 was the official date for the commencement of AFL (Australian Football league), with clubs travelling interstate.
However, Australian football formally began on a club-by-club basis in 1897, with the formation of the state-wide league, the Victorian Football League (VFL).
The game itself had already, though, been around - even before the 1850's: nevertheless, the first formalized written rules were drawn up in 1859.
