What vaules does Kwanzaa "embrace (I assume there are those in Virginia who  
recognize this "celebration")?
 
The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the  
Symbionese Liberation Army. In 1974, Patricia Hearst, kidnap victim-SLA  
revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed  
cobra. Each snake head stood for one of the SLA's revolutionary principles:  Umoja, 
Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani -- the same seven  
"principles" of Kwanzaa.  Nice role model for an  American holiday.
 
It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI pawn,  
Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga. Karenga was a founder of United Slaves, 
a  violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers.  
In one barbarous outburst, Karenga's United Slaves shot to death Black  
Panthers Al "Bunchy" Carter and Deputy Minister John Huggins on the UCLA campus.  
Karenga himself served time in Federal prision for the murders and emerged for  
his current position as a black studies professor at California State 
University  at Long Beach. 
 
Perhaps some historical investigation would be useful before embracing such  
PC nonsense, particulary with regard to what our children are exposed to in  
public schools.
