Stormfront, a racist, NeoNazi, hate organization, features Tony Snow

Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 07:04 PM by grottieyottie

On martinlutherking.org, a site hosted by stormfront.org a nasty white supremacy group - Tony Snow has an interesting article in which he tries to discredit Kwanza.

...Now, the point: There is no part of Kwanzaa that is not fraudulent. Begin with the name. The celebration comes from the Swahili term �matunda yakwanza,� or �first fruit,� and the festival�s trappings have Swahili names � such as �ujima� for �collective work and responsibility� or �muhindi,� which are ears of corn celebrants set aside for each child in a family.

Worse, Kwanzaa ceremonies have no discernible African roots. No culture on earth celebrates a harvesting ritual in December, for instance, and the implicit pledges about human dignity don't necessarily jibe with such still-common practices as female circumcision and polygamy. The inventors of Kwanzaa weren't promoting a return to roots; they were shilling for Marxism. They even appropriated the term "ujima," which Julius Nyrere cited when he uprooted tens of thousands of Tanzanians and shipped them forcibly to collective farms, where they proved more adept at cultivating misery than banishing hunger.

Even the rituals using corn don't fit. Corn isn't indigenous to Africa. Mexican Indians developed it, and the crop was carried worldwide by white colonialists.

The fact is, there is no Ur-African culture. The continent remains stubbornly tribal. Hutus and Tutsis still slaughter one another for sport.

Go to Kenya, where I taught briefly as a young man, and you'll see endless hostility between Kikuyu, Luo, Luhya and Masai. Even South African politics these days have more to do with tribal animosities than ideological differences.

The byline on the article is for Tony Snow - a columnist for the Detroit News.

Tony Snow�s bio on the Fox News website states:
