It’s Friday, December 26: If you’re an Orthodox Christian, you are celebrating Day 2 of Christmas leading to the Feast of Theophany. If you’re British or Canadian, you’re celebrating Boxing Day. But if you’re a progressive Democrat politician, you’re celebrating the first day of Kwanzaa, and sending out Kwanzaa greetings to your constituents; most who could not give a flying fig.
This trend is being followed by this one group only, most of them from blue states. Meanwhile, the rest of America is enjoying our leftovers, our gifts, or being good capitalists by taking advance of those post-Christmas sales, this bunch is doing what it does best: pander and virtue-signal.
We’ll start with the very white Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, who could barely acknowledge Christmas Day, a holiday that spans several millennia. Kotek made sure she issued this glowing tribute for a holiday that has been around for less than 70 years.
Go figure.
Happy Kwanzaa to all Oregonians celebrating! May these seven days of reflection bring unity, purpose, and joy to you and your families. pic.twitter.com/k5726qFtLX

The equally melanin-challenged Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers took the time to make a video to explain what Kwanzaa is all about. If the people supposedly celebrating don’t know by now, they’re in serious trouble.
Happy Kwanzaa, Wisconsin!
To all those celebrating across our state, Kathy and I are wishing you celebrations full of joy and community. pic.twitter.com/Zb1Jev42lO

Not to be left out, Governor Tampon Tim wants you to forget he oversaw the massive Minnesota Somali fraud long enough to wish you a Happy Kwanzaa.
Happy Kwanzaa, Minnesota! Gwen and I are wishing all who celebrate a wonderful week of warmth, health, and unity.

The ratios on this X post are simply glorious.
Your state has $18B of fraud going on that you refuse to address or take accountability for. Instead of talking about Kwanza why don’t you actually signal that you care? It’s almost as if you don’t ca-
Oh.

Former Democrat North Carolina governor, Roy Cooper, is trying to rake in those votes to win Thom Tillis’ Senate seat. Yeah, good luck with that.
Happy Kwanzaa, North Carolina!
As Umoja, the first principle meaning unity, is celebrated today, we should all reflect on how we are more alike than different and united as North Carolinians.

Of course, there are outliers to this meme. One would be Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson, who is not melanin-challenged, but is definitely challenged in other areas — like his approval rating.
Happy Kwanzaa, @Chicago! pic.twitter.com/OWApER3Kl8

As of October 2025, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s overall approval rating is 31% per a Change Research poll (up from 26% in August).
From the August NORC/University of Chicago poll breakdown by race:
– White: 20%
– Black: 38%
– Hispanic: 28%
– Asian/Pacific Islander: ~31% or lowerNo…

Nor is it limited to the left. He’s definitely not progressive or woke, but Orange County, California D.A. Todd Spitzer sends his Kwanzaa greetings, and has done it over his two terms in office. Can you say, “HR compliance, boys and girls?” eyeroll* emoji>
The light of Kwanza shines today for the first day in a weeklong celebration of peace, happiness and unity culminating with a feast on January 1st. On behalf of the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, we want to wish you a Happy Kwanza! pic.twitter.com/qsSzmILmav

Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by Africana Studies professor and chair, Ron Karenga aka “Dr. Maulana Karenga,” when he headed up the department at California State University, Long Beach. We cannot warn you enough to stop ignoring what comes out of California, because it always comes back to bite the entire nation in one form of another.

Kamala’s Latest Video About Kwanzaa Hits Maximum Cringe Levels
Karenga admitted to the joke of this holiday in 1978.
“I created Kwanzaa,” laughed M. Ron Karenga like a teen-ager who’s just divulged a deeply held, precisions secret.
“People think it’s African. But it’s not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa. I said it was African because you know black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods (blacks) would be partying!”
The overwhelmingly black audience at Howard University’s recent National Conference of Afro-American writers broke into laughter. The joke was on them – and millions of other black Americans who taught Kwanzaa, the seven-day festival of harvest, was African.
Since he created the holiday in 1966, numerous Afro-Americans have come to celebrate the occasion between Dec. 22 and Jan. 1 as an alternative to Christmas.
Five years before this 1978 interview, Karenga was serving time in prison for assault, false imprisonment, and the torture of two women. You can barely find any news coverage about this crime, but it did indeed happen. So, it is on brand that this manufactured holiday and its founder are lauded and celebrated… by the same leftists that want biological men with mental illness infiltrating women-only spaces, and support the kidnapping and mutilation of children.
Yet, thanks to liberal professors and leftist politicians who continue to peddle this fraud and pander to those amorphous masses commemorating it, we are interrupted in our enjoyment of our lovely Christmas holiday, if only to mock it for another year.
Ron Karenga introduced an “African” version of Christmas called Kwanzaa. No one in Africa heard of this but Kwanza is a worthless Angolan currency. Kwanzaa coincides with Hanukkah (of course) and Advent.
Typical “black” cultural mimicry. Everyone sees it but no one says it.
