Huey: In today's Kwanzaa celebration, we'll be discussing the principle of cooperative economics. Caesar: Uh, Huey? Huey: Yes, Caesar? Caesar: You know I'm totally feelin' the way you're holdin' down the Kwanzaa thin. Mos' definitely. And I'm as black as the next man, right? I mean, I got dreads and everything! Huey: I know where you're going with this... If you leave to go play video games, yes - you're a sellout. Caesar: Just one game? These are real dreads, mind you... these ain't extensions.

Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1965 as the first specifically African-American holiday,2 (but see also Juneteenth). According to Karenga, the name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning “first fruits of the harvest”,3 although a more conventional translation would simply be “first fruits”. The choice of Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism, especially in the 1960s, although most of the Atlantic Slavery Trade that brought African people to America originated in West Africa.

Huey needs to do his research. Kwanzaa was created in the 1970s by the CIA. Not kidding. Look it up.
Seriously, any of you heard of it before then? It was fabricated at the same time as the SLA, another CIA project.
