Misconceptions About Kwanzaa: Is Not Kwanzaa Loose, Unstructured and Disorderly?

As the sacred universe holds order and structured cycles for life to flourish so too does Afrikan life naturally carry order and structure. Afrikan souls are not distinct to the wider universe, they are a central feature of its being. As such, Afrikan life naturally carries with it functional order as a dictum of the functional universe. Rooted cultured Afrikan living is at the core of ordered Afrikan life. Therefore, Afrikan culture for it to be the culture of this primary people is naturally ordered.  In familyhood for example, the order of the kingly Afrikan masculine man, the queenly Afrikan feminine woman in harmonious union from which children can brought forth is age-old and necessarily unchanged. It would be inconceivable for Afrikan people living their natural norm to consider their culture as being something loose that exists to be embraced or denied as though fitting a fanciful mood.

According to a popular mainstream platform the word loose is stated to mean:

“not firmly or tightly fixed in place; detached or able to be detached”.

Since the advent of the Maafa of recent centuries where Afrikan life and culture has been set upon in destructive ways the charge of Afrikan culture being loose may arise from a barrage of complex theories attempting to skew Afrikan souls away from the basic fundamental order of life functioning. Afrikan culture exists to lift Afrikan souls to optimal self-determined functioning and flourishing.

Therefore, upon the natural base of unaltered foundational order there are elements of culture that necessarily, reflect time, space and circumstance. At this level, there is organic development and growth that takes place.  Unfortunately, hurled into a cultural crisis of an interrupted state Afrikan souls can be susceptible to dipping in or out of meaningful cultured life whimsically highlighting the severity of a conflicted existence. Or, it can mean that there are attempts to misuse Afrikan culture as a vehicle or mask in furtherance of alien contaminates of ill such as that of misogyny, misandry or to fuel a gynocracy against Afrikan men and so on. Whichever the case, here in lies that which is worse than mere disorder it is destruction. There are some important theories and parts of theories about the Afrikan continuum that can certainly be empowering in the now. However, there are others that simply drive the continual disfunction of would-be wholesome Afrikan life plagued with such alien ills as feminism.

Out of chaos, disfunction and debris, rises the wonderful cultural observance of Kwanzaa that celebrates Afrikan family, Afrikan community, Afrikan nation and Afrikan world community. The ordered annual cycle between 26th December and 1st January is a firm fixture on the Afrikan cultural calendar. At Kwanzaa’s core is the structured fabric of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) a set of values that can be lived rather than being mistreated as a fleeting whim. Kwanzaa is a holiday represents the restoration and elevation of Afrikan culture at a level that is accessible to Afrikan people worldwide. It does not negate region-specific traditions however is a vehicle of shared oneness that is fixed in place for Afrikan souls to progressively participate in energising self-determined order and life structure. To consider Kwanzaa as being loose, unstructured and disorderly is a gross misconception.
