Misconceptions About Kwanzaa: Is it Not the Norm for Afrikans to Jump on an Alien Bandwagon of Disrespecting Their Own Cultural Holiday?

The primary people of the world who ushered human culture into being gloriously expressed their pioneering thrust with the first, greatest and most long-lived civilisations known to the world. This is the Afrikan, and the grand life expressions of this people eternally demonstrates the highest levels of self-respect, pride and dignity in their self-determined building efforts of victory. Family, community and nationhood naturally flourish and the norm and such long-lived successfulness is surely grand inheritance for the Afrikan of the contemporary world to be empowered by and from which to continue to victoriously build.

With the advent the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa in recent centuries, Afrikan souls necessarily must restore core cultural fabric for their natural norm of life building to meaningfully continue.

Magnificently, tremendous organised self-determined Afrikan effort has victoriously established the wonderful cultural observance of Kwanzaa as a great vehicle of cultural restoration and ascension.

Unfortunately, alien forces that mean the Afrikan ill have peddled disrespect towards the cultural observance. It is also an unfortunate possibility that susceptible and vulnerable Afrikans may as a result of alien ill effort also extend disrespectfulness by proxy.

According to a popular mainstream platform the word disrespect means a:  

“lack of respect or courtesy”

Or, to:

“show a lack of respect for; insult”.

In the context of this discussion however, such disrespect is not at the level of person-to-person contempt as destructive of an alien contaminate as that can be in Afrikan personal life. Rather, to disrespect the cultural holiday of Kwanzaa is cultural disrespect at the Afrikan world community level for this is who Kwanzaa is of, for, about and serves. Further, for Afrikan souls to be coerced outside of themselves or are otherwise engaged in such activity is surely a reflection of a self-negating state of being.

To illustrate the point, a mainstream source describes the disrespect of self in the following way:

“You see failure where others would see lessons, you berate yourself for not living up to expectations, and you exact punishment when you should be showing kindness. You are so hard on yourself that even when you do succeed at something, you put it down”.

Afrikan people have successfully established for themselves the wonderful seven-day holiday of Kwanzaa. And a powerful key lesson is that such a powerful thrust of victory can be replicated in other areas of Afrikan life self-betterment. Afrikan people need not berate themselves into disfunction, but instead restore their natural norm of cultured living. Afrikan people need not punish themselves into destruction but instead build and celebrate their successes. Afrikan people need not be ruinously harsh to each other but instead engender a genuine spirit of rightful progress in consideration of the Afrikan world community of which each is a part. Finally, the magnificent success in the establishment of Kwanzaa and its continual practice is something to celebrate with pride and dignity for presents a mirror of cultural brilliancy that only the Afrikan can bring about for self.

A suggestion that it is the norm for Afrikans to Jump on an alien bandwagon of disrespecting their own cultural holiday is a gross misconception and a dire ‘put down’. It is acutely abnormal for Afrikan souls to disrespect their own culture.
