Seriously, this is a made up holiday celebrated less than another made up holiday Festivus. The dude that made it up in the 1960s was a racist black American that raped and sexually assaulted women with curling irons.

Even Wikipedia doesn’t do much to cover it up. It credits Kwanzaa’s creation in 1966 to Maulana Karenga. On his page, it actually brings up the criminal charges of torture and wrongful imprisonment of multiple women.

“One of the victims gave testimony of how Karenga and other men tortured her and another woman. The woman described having been stripped and beaten with an electrical cord. Karenga's estranged wife, Brenda Lorraine Karenga, testified that she sat on the other woman's stomach while another man forced water into her mouth through a hose.”
