Politics / Why Don't Africans On The Continent Celebrate Kwanzaa? by igbo2011(m): 6:31pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
I noticed that Africans celebrate Christian, Islamic, and European holidays but we don't celebrate Pan-African holidays. Do Jewish people celebrate German holidays? Do Armenians celebrate Turkish (Ottoman Empire) holidays? Do Arabs celebrate Israel holidays? Why do we celebrate holidays of people who enslaved, colonized and continue to neocolonize us? When people try to push them then people call you "Afrocentric" why is this? Here is information and a website on Kwanzaa. As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. Given the profound significance Kwanzaa has for African Americans and indeed, the world African community, it is imperative that an authoritative source and site be made available to give an accurate and expansive account of its origins, concepts, values, symbols and practice. Moreover, given the continued rapid growth of Kwanzaa and the parallel expanded discussion of it and related issues, an authoritative source which aids in both framing and informing the discussion is likewise of the greatest importance. Therefore, the central interest of this website is to provide information which reveals and reaffirms the integrity, beauty and expansive meaning of the holiday and thus aids in our approaching it with the depth of thought, dignity, and sense of specialness it deserves. The holiday, then will of necessity, be engaged as an ancient and living cultural tradition which reflects the best of African thought and practice in its reaffirmation of the dignity of the human person in community and culture, the well-being of family and community, the integrity of the environment and our kinship with it, and the rich resource and meaning of a people's culture. It is within this understanding, then, that the Organization Us, the founding organization of Kwanzaa and the authoritative keeper of the tradition, has established and maintains this website. http://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/index.shtml 1 Like |

Braggante: I am an PanAfriconomist (An economist with a Pan African perspective). I warned friends and people on social media and forums but people called me crazy. I promote self reliance on my website but nobody wants to listen. www.africanedp.com If Africans didn't love everything foreign then we would have more foreign reserves to strengthen the naira but we love foreign clothes, cars, products, hair, make up, etc. We are still colonized and don't even know it. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Africans love celebrating their oppressors holidays. Do Jewish people celebrate German holidays and customs? Do Armenians celebrate Turkish (Ottoman) holidays? Do Arabs celebrate Israeli holidays? What is wrong with us? We are still slaves and we don't even know it. Then we call our own holidays and festivals evil and backwards. Africans are slaves and don't even know it. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

The problem is the construction materials are not made in Nigeria which makes money and jobs leave the country. We need to build these factories in Nigeria or Africa. |

WORLDPEACE: This us how many Africans think, just like SLAVES!!! Look at this video, this cop killed her 7 year old grand child and he didn't even say sorry. He had no remorse. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1536505043263935&pnref=story I have come to the conclusion that Africans are the weakest people in the world. You let anyone do whatever they want to you and you smile and love it. We celebrate our oppressors holidays, root for them to win in the World Cup, In Italy they throw banannas at black players and we repay them buy buying Italian clothes and making them more rich. We are a bunch of slaves in our own lands. France is colonizing West Africa and we repay them buy buying French champagne. Germany killed 80,000 Namibian people and we buy German cars. This is why everywhere in the world we are we are not respected. https://www.nairaland.com/1932006/why-african-men-weak |

ROSSIKE: Why are Nigerians celebrating these western businesses controlling more of the economy in Africa, how is this good? Those profits will leave Nigeria and go to the west and make them rich. We need to make our own brands so the money stays in the country. |

asala1: Africa is still colonized. India and China are not as colonized as Africa. The sad part is that most Africans don't even know. We think since we celebrate independence that we are free. There is a big difference between political and economic independence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YT6cotv0YU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6kPY7QC3M |
