Kwanzaa is just a conveniet post-xmas retailing scheme hatched by the FBI snitch Ron Karenga. Hallmark makes Kwanzaa cards. Its revolutionary relevance begins and ends there.
Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by an erstwhile radical named Ron Karenga (a.k.a. Dr. Maulana Karenga). Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, a violence-talking cultural nationalistic rival to the Black Panthers and a COINTELPRO front for the FBI.
During the 60s, the FBI encouraged the most comically extreme Black cultural nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the organization, the better. Using that criterion, Karenga's United Slaves stood at the top of the heap.
Despite popular historical notions that conflate all the Black activists of the '60s, the Black Panthers were not racist 'Afro' supremacists. They did not promote armed revolution. But those were the FBI-inspired central planks of Karenga's United Slaves. Karenga's United Slaves were simply dashiki-sporting wannabe fascists, who gleefully gunned down Black Panthers and other Black Leftists while adopting absurd, manufactured "African" names.
J. Edgar Hoover could not have wished for a better crew of brothas.
