Misconceptions About Kwanzaa: Is Kwanzaa a Fake Afrikan Holiday?

The genuine and authentic thrust of Afrikan culture has remained unchanged since its coming forth with the primary people of creation whom it serves. Culture is the basis from which optimal functioning of self-determined Afrikan life can flourish. Afrikan family flourishes because of lived Afrikan culture. Afrikan community flourishes because of lived Afrikan culture. Afrikan nation flourishes because of lived Afrikan culture. Whatever the era or age throughout the inevitable reality of the world’s greatest and most long-lived civilisations is rooted in the most pinnacle of cultures – Afrikan culture. Thus, the vehicle for their own way of life that Afrikan people of themselves bring into to being for their life’s fullest and rightful flourishing is naturally genuine and authentic.

Kwanzaa is a firm part of this natural genuine thrust of self-determined living for ascension in a time where Afrikan souls are located in places throughout the world and face much hostility from others that mean Afrikans ill. For Afrikan souls to produce for themselves such a beautiful and magnificent seven-day cultural holiday period that is relevant and accessible to Afrikan souls throughout the world is phenomenal in and of itself. However, to do so with alien hostile imposition is compounds the exceptional nature of Kwanzaa’s coming to be and living self-determined reality.

Afrikan people whether in the America’s, in the Islands of New Afrika (So-called Caribbean), in Europe, further east of Afrika and on the great continent of Afrika itself have surely have a cultural duty and responsibility to themselves. Wherever Afrikan people are in the world the establishment and flourishing of the Afrikan family is a genuine and authentic endeavour. Likewise, the establishment and flourishing of the Afrikan community a genuine and authentic endeavour. And so too is the establishment and flourishing of the Afrikan nation. An observance that has been brought into being by Afrikan people to provide living fabric for such genuine activity, that observance can be nothing but authentic and genuine itself. The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa has been brilliantly brought to fruition in all of its genuine and authentic magnificence to service the Afrikan world community in this regard.

A description of fake is wholly erroneous if applied to Kwanzaa. According to a popular mainstream platform the word fake means:

“not genuine; imitation or counterfeit”.

Or:

“a thing that is not genuine; a forgery or sham”.

For this to be true of Kwanzaa:

Afrikan people of the world and their ongoing history continuum would simply not be in existence. Or, the Afrikan family, community, nation and race is unworthy of flourishing or of no consequence.

Afrikan people did not creatively restore fundamental components of Afrikan culture and bring Kwanzaa into being.

And so on…

These of course are misconceptions. Kwanzaa is genuinely and authentically of, for and about Afrikan people. Afrikan people are rightfully themselves wherever they are in the world – Afrikan.

A suggestion that Kwanzaa is fake Afrikan holiday is a gross misconception at best.
