Misconceptions About Kwanzaa: Is Kwanzaa a No Good Holiday?

Afrikan people as their self-determined natural norm since time immemorial journeyed for that which is good, for the greater good and for the greatest good. The cultural core of life determined that which is good at the various levels of life’s conception and expression. So much so that no alternative except the world’s greatest and longest-lived civilisations were brought to fruition through Afrikan high cultured living.  In this, it is beyond any doubt that Afrikan culture is not only good for Afrikan people it is a core and foundational imperative.

According to a popular mainstream platform the word good means:

“to be desired or approved of”.

Or,

“having the required qualities; of a high standard”.

Or,

“that which is morally right; righteousness”.

Or,

“benefit or advantage to someone or something”.

The descriptions offered here could be translated the following in relation to Afrikan culture:

To be desired or approved of by themselves for optimal living, Afrikan people live according to their own culture.

To have the required qualities, or operate at a high standard for optimal living, Afrikan people live according to their own culture.

To express that which is morally right and lift righteousness for optimal living, Afrikan people live according to their own culture.

To mission for Afrikan self-benefit and advantage for their own people, Afrikan people live according to their own culture.

With the advent of the Maafa over recent centuries, Afrikan culture and people have been set upon in destructive ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Such a state of existence in relation to the norm of natural Afrikan living could be described (even if far too polite) as being not good or un-good as alien forces seek to denigrate, demonise or deny Afrikan culture. 

It is therefore vital for Afrikan souls to restore goodness to their lives. Thankfully and victoriously, Afrikans have organised themselves and established a powerful vehicle for the restoration and elevation of Afrikan culture. The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa represents the magnificence of Afrikan cultural goodness in readily accessible form for Afrikan world participation. Will the Afrikan remain in the un-goodness of disruption? Or, will the Afrikan rightly lift themselves into the goodness of their own cultured living? In this, surely there is no choice to be made if Afrikan souls  are truly honest with themselves. A suggestion that Kwanzaa is a no-good holiday is a gross misconception at best.
