A fake holiday invented by a fraud named Ron Karenga who was also a bigtime racist.
Christmas is of course a holiday for EVERYONE regardless of race.
This jerk Karenga wanted to create a Christmas-time holiday as "an alternative for black people".
He effectively created a race issue out of a non-race oriented holiday.
