Every year, like clockwork, white conservative media and their self-hating Black mascots crawl out of their ideological chamber pots to remind us that nothing rattles them more than Black people lighting candles and refusing to ask the whites for permission to celebrate Kwanzaa.

“Kwanzaa is fake.” 

“Kwanzaa is communism.”

“Kwanzaa is Marxist.” 

To the haters...
