NY Erects "Holiday Tree" at Rockefeller

What is this nonsense? Just because people of all other religions want in on the beauty of Christmas and whine about being left out doesn't mean poeple should cater to the pussies.

We're going to NY to see the "Holiday Tree" this weekend.


Next year it will probably be sponsored by Pepsi. "The Pepsi Holiday Tree"

That sounds so right it's scary.

And I guess they need a "holiday tree", because a huge ass Menorah in the middle of Times Square is probably a bad idea.

And a Kwanza...um...what the hell is that holiday, anyways, besides christmas for african americans? Never heard about it until a few years ago.

Fuck people.

Christmas is about as christian as my penis.

Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Mulana Karenga/Ron Karenga (born Ron Everett), a professor and chair of the Department of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach. Karenga is an author and activist who stressed the indispensable need to preserve, continually revitalize and promote American culture through African rituals. Dr. Karenga is chairperson of the organization US.

Kwanzaa was established in aftermath of the Watts, California Watts Riots. This series of riots was due to police brutality viewed by citizens. Black Liberation, Black Freedom Movement the 1960s (see Black Power), and reflects that movement's concerns for African-American cultural groundedness in thought and practice (commonly referred to as 'black pride'), and the community and self-determination associated with this.

In May of 1971 Karenga stood trial for torturing two dissident members of his cult. Both Deborah Jones and Gail Davis described how Karenga had demanded that they strip naked. The naked women were then whipped with electrical cords and beaten with a karate baton. Detergent and a gushing hoses were forced into their mouths. Ms. Jones had one of her toes clamped in a vise. Karenga's supporters forced a hot electrical soldering iron in to Ms Davis’ mouth. Similar treatment of Jones and Davis continued for two days. Karenga was convicted and served more than three years in a California State prison.
