Misconceptions About Kwanzaa: Does Not Kwanzaa Promote Homophilia?

By grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme the Afrikan masculine man and the Afrikan feminine woman have constituted the foundational harmonious and complementary union at the basis of Afrikan familyhood from the beginning. It is from this union that new life naturally comes forth. From the earliest times Afrikan people have enshrined their familial order within spiritual conception. The age-old story of Ausar, Auset and Heru highlights a premier example of this. As a guide to physical Afrikan life expression, such wisdom laden stories set an eternal frame of reference for the coming together of the kingly Afrikan man and the queenly Afrikan woman in complementary union. Throughout the ages Afrikan family, community and nation have thrived in brilliancy of their natural family order to produce the world’s greatest and most long-lived civilisations. In this, the alternative ‘sexual preferences’ that emerge or are popularised contemporaneously in the context of ‘the west’ or elsewhere are not a feature of Afrikan culture. The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa is a firm part of Afrikan culture that celebrates the rightful establishment, growth and development of the natural male-female union and the sacred fruit of the Afrikan young.  

 With the interruption and disruption of the Maafa of recent centuries alien forces of ill have set upon Afrikan life and culture in destructive ways. In the now, exposure to practices alien to the natural norm of Afrikan life continue where the impact can be compounded amidst an imposed cultural crisis. According to the author Mwalimu K. Bomani Baruti:

“This is even, and especially, the case among Afrikans who see their experimentations with European sexual practices as above race and culture because they believe sex is separate from and above race and culture. In any thought or act, Afrikans who see themselves as ‘above’ themselves are sadly mistaken”.

Practices such as homophilia that have been popularised in ‘the west’ are not a natural feature of Afrikan culture whether it is lauded as being ‘unquestionable’ or not. According to a popular mainstream source the word homophile is defined as:

“relating to gay people”.

The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa is a grand celebration of Afrikan family, community, nation and race. The foundational growth and prosperity of the Afrikan family with the establishment of the Afrikan man and Afrikan woman in harmonious and complementary union that is able to naturally bring forth the Afrikan young has been cultural dictum throughout the Afrikan continuum. It is from this dictum that the Afrikan family flourishes and  is amplified into Afrikan community, nation and so on.  The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa celebrates such imperative Afrikan victory and ascension and as such it is a gross misconception to suggest that Kwanzaa promotes homophilia.
