So Kwanzaa was created by a man who imprisoned and tortured women?

Not SIAP or discussed on here...

quote:

---

It (Kwanzaa) was created by Maulana Karenga, an African American who was born Ronald McKinley Everett and became a civil rights activist before serving prison time for imprisoning and torturing two women he claimed were plotting against him.

So we cancel other holidays over the "past sins" of those it memorializes but not this one? Good to know...

It's as ironic as tearing down monuments over "past sins" while ironically replacing said monuments with statues of some career criminal, George Floyd, who never made one positive contribution to society and spent his entire life committing heinous acts against the public...

I guess that's also why no one cares about MLK being a homophobe who also laughed when men in his congregation raped women.

I wonder why one gets a pass but not the other?
