I hope you are joking about the Kawanzaa decor?
(Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the holiday in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans.
According to the official Kwanzaa Web site the celebration was designed to foster "conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of Black Americans" and provide a "reassessment, reclaiming, recommitment, remembrance, retrieval, resumption, resurrection and rejuvenation of those principles (Way of Life) utilized by Black Americans' ancestors."
In 1971, Everett was sentenced to 1 to 10 years for brutally assaulting two of his (black) followers. After forcing them to strip, they were beaten with an electrical cord and a karate baton. He put a hot soldering iron in the mouth and against the face of one of the women and crushed the big toe of the other woman in a vice. He then put detergent and running hoses in their mouths.
Of course after this he went on to become a Professor at a University in California where he held his position until 2002.)

Ah, Meritt beat me to the Kwanzaa info. What a load of sh*t. But whatever. I just say Merry freaking Christmas to everyone and wait for someone to jump down my throat. Hasn't happened yet. But, happy made up African holiday, to you!
