Why do black people believe Kwanza came from Africa when the inventor admited it was a lie he made up in jail?

Question

Google "Ron Karenga" . He was serving a prison sentence in california for beating up to women. Not sure but if you google Kwanza you will also find that Karenga also claimed that Kwanza originated in Ghana? and used swahili words to sell the idea....the problem is that swahili is not spoken in west africa . they speak it in tanzania....which is east africa......I wonder what other pieces of history have been manipulated? It has to be true....the story was first published by the NY Times and LA Times...it has to be true

Answer 1

I know. I hated being forced to celebrate kwaanza during school assemblies and such. I always wondered where it came from, because I didn't remember this as a child. A few years ago I found out, and I was truly ticked off. I just pretty much stand around with my arms folded looking disgruntled when it rolls around now.

Answer 2

no longer unavoidably. GOD might nicely be any colour he/she desires to be. The earth has no longer been this way via fact the beginning up of time. At one time Africa wasn't this variety of (actually no longer figuratively) warm place. to boot, what does colour might desire to do with faith or Spirituality apart from persons to assert they're greater effective than every physique else via fact this colour or that grew to become into first! that's a mote factor and beside the point interior the long-term.
