I support
Glenn Grothman! Who the hell cares about
Kwanza anyway? I think more people
celebrate Festivas, another made up holiday ffrom Seinfeld.
Calling it a
holiday that “almost no black people today care about,” state Sen. Glenn
Grothman is characterizing Kwanzaa as a false holiday conjured up by a
racist college professor and perpetuated by hard-core liberals.
“Why must we
still hear about Kwanzaa?” the Republican lawmaker from West Bend asked in a
press release. “Why are hard-core left wingers still trying to talk about
Kwanzaa — the supposed African-American holiday celebration between
Christmas and New Year’s?”
His remarks
drew immediate criticism from a Democratic party leader, who called
Grothman’s comments “absolutely jaw-dropping.”
In the
1960s, Karenga founded the black nationalist group Organization Us, which
became a rival of the Black Panthers. He served time in prison in 1971 following
a trial during which a female member of the group said he beat her and another
woman with an electrical cord, according
to a Colorado Springs Gazette article.
In his
release, Grothman called for the holiday to be “slapped down.”
“Of course, almost no black people today care about Kwanzaa — just white
left-wingers who try to shove this down black people’s throats in an
effort to divide Americans,” Grothman said. “Irresponsible public school districts such as Green Bay
and Madison … try to tell a new generation that blacks have a
separate holiday than Christians.”
