   I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am   
   Kwanza-reform, and we are not that observant. Kwanzaa,   
   celebrated exclusively by white liberals, is a fake holiday   
   invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Everett -- aka   
   Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent   
   nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. In the annals of the   
   American '60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the   
   czarist police.   
      
   In what was ultimately a foolish gambit, during the madness of   
   the '60s, the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist   
   organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more   
   preposterous the group, the better. By that criterion, Karenga's   
   United Slaves was perfect.   
      
   Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of   
   the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. Although some   
   of their most high-profile leaders were drug dealers and   
   murderers, they did not seek armed revolution.   
      
   Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. The United   
   Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning   
   down Black Panthers and adopting invented "African" names.   
      
   And hasn't that been a huge help to the black community?   
      
   It's as if David Duke invented a holiday called "Anglika," which   
   he based on the philosophy of "Mein Kampf" -- and clueless   
   public school teachers began celebrating the made-up, racist   
   holiday.   
      
   Whether Karenga was a willing FBI dupe, or just a dupe, remains   
   unclear.   
      
   In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in   
   the '70s, Karenga was quick to criticize Nigerian newspapers   
   that claimed that certain American black radicals were CIA   
   operatives. Karenga publicly denounced the idea, saying,   
   "Africans must stop generalizing about the loyalties and motives   
   of Afro-Americans, including the widespread suspicion of black   
   Americans being CIA agents."   
      
   In a 1995 interview with Ethnic NewsWatch, Karenga matter-of-   
   factly explained that the forces out to get O.J. Simpson for the   
   "framed" murder of two whites included: "the FBI, the CIA, the   
   State Department, Interpol, the Chicago Police Department" and   
   so on. Karenga should know about FBI infiltration. (He further   
   noted that the evidence against O.J. did not "eliminate   
   unreasonable doubt" -- an interesting standard of proof.)   
      
   Now we know: The FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the   
   Panthers and United Slaves. In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's   
   United Slaves shot two Black Panthers to death on the UCLA   
   campus: Al "Bunchy" Carter and John Huggins. Karenga himself   
   served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as   
   a black studies professor at California State University at Long   
   Beach.   
      
   (Speaking of which, Rep. Paul Ryan certainly is right about what   
   a fantastic job his mentor Jack Kemp did reaching out to all   
   those "socially conservative" minorities. Look at how California   
   has swung decisively to the right since Kemp started all that   
   outreach stuff. Good luck winning California now, Democrats!)   
      
   Back to the esteemed Cal State professor: Karenga's invented   
   holiday is a nutty blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black   
   racism and Marxism. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very   
   same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another   
   invention of the Worst Generation.   
      
   In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary,   
   posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed   
   cobra. Each snakehead stood for one of the SLA's revolutionary   
   principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and   
   Imani. These are the exact same seven "principles" of Kwanzaa.   
   And here's something interesting: Kawaida, Kwanzaa and Kuumba   
   are also the only three Kardashian sisters not to have their own   
   shows on the E! Network.   
      
   Kwanzaa praises collectivism in every possible area of life --   
   economics, work, personality, even litter removal. ("Kuumba:   
   Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more   
   beautiful.") It takes a village to raise a police snitch. When   
   Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy   
   underlying Kwanzaa, from "classical Marxism," he essentially   
   said that, under Kawaida, we also hate whites.   
      
   While taking the "best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism" --   
   excluding, one hopes, mass murder, forced abortions,   
   imprisonment of homosexuals and forced labor -- Karenga said   
   Kawaida practitioners believe one's racial identity "determines   
   life conditions, life chances and self-understanding."   
      
   There's an inclusive philosophy for you!   
      
   Kwanzaa was the result of a '60s psychosis grafted onto the
