Carlotta Morrow, The Truth About Kwanzaa

by La Shawn on 12.30.05

in Faith

I hope she’ll forgive me for potentially setting her up for an avalanche of e-mail from non-Christian Kwanzaa worshipers with little understanding of biblical Christianity attempting to explain, badly, to a Christian that an anti-Christian, spiritualized, quasi-religion is compatible with biblical Christianity, but…

I want to make sure you didn’t miss the link to Carlotta Morrow’s site. I encourage all my Christian readers, if you do nothing else today, to visit The Truth About Kwanzaa, and read every page. The research I’ve done pales in comparison to the work Carlotta has done.

After her sister got caught up in Kwanzaa, Carlotta learned everything she could about it. She’s been quoted in several stories, including:

The Kwanzaa blogging is done for now. The next time you see that word on this site, it will be a link to my article in the Christian Research Journal.

“If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” (John 14:15-21)

Larry ElderLarry Elder asks, “When can we blacks get to the point where you and I can have a disagreement — about racism, affirmative action, the War in Iraq, whatever — without someone who thinks like me being a sell-out or an Uncle Tom? Is that at all possible? Am I asking too much?” (Source)

Answer to question #1: When it is no longer profitable or otherwise advantageous for blacks to participate in grievance-shopping politics. For example, racial discrimination was once harmful to blacks; now it’s beneficial. When the tide turns, blacks who oppose skin color preferences will no longer be considered “sell-outs.”

Answer to question #2: The question is not whether you’re asking too much, Mr. Elder. Why ask the question at all? It’s pointless. For some people, whining, excuse-making, and finger-pointing are sub-culturally ingrained. The current is too strong. I don’t know about you, but I have neither the time, inclination, nor energy to turn the tide. Just continue to make your stand, and the enlightened will come to you.

Narnia Review

It was excellent! Better than Goblet of Fire.

I’ve just returned from seeing The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and I loved it from the opening scene to the closing.

Lord of the Blogs

December 28, 2005

Conservatives are usually pretty easy on bloggers, as the most important and influential blog swarms tend to be generated by conservative bloggers trying to right the wrongs of the leftist mainstream media (MSM). That’s why I was taken aback by Kathleen Parker’s latest column, Lord of the Blogs, where she likens some bloggers to the [...]

No TIME ‘Blog of the Year” This Year

December 26, 2005

Given all the hoopla last year, it’s curious that TIME magazine didn’t include a Blog of the Year category for 2005. It was an admittedly strange occurrence last year, especially since they chose a conservative blog that was all over Dan Rather.

A Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord

December 23, 2005

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to [...]

Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Unspent Funds

December 22, 2005

What’s that old saying? The squeaky wheel gets the most…scrutiny…or something like that. Some of you may be wondering why I always pick on groups like the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and NAACP. They turn the spotlight on themselves with their useless whining and complaining, pointing fingers at others while they do little more than [...]

White Liberals Support ‘Diversity’ in Theory, Not Practice

December 22, 2005

The lily-white liberals in Boulder, Colorado, support the idea of skin color diversity as long as they don’t actually have to live around coloreds or send their kids to school with them. Did you ever notice that utopian experiments in skin color harmony dissolve once liberals have a mortgage to pay and kids to raise? [...]

Christians: Think of torture as a tool of Total War

January 18, 2006: Looking for information on Ray Nagin’s Chocolate Factory? Follow this link! ——————————————————————————————————————– “It’s time to be honest about doing terrible things …” so writes Charles Krauthammer in his article “The Truth about Torture.” I agree, especially in light of John McCain’s politically motivated, loop-hole-filled amendment to extend portions of the U.S. Bill [...]

Advice for Democrats: hire Gibbs (or at least Reynolds, Malkin &/or Hewitt)

December 19, 2005

Silly Democrats, tricks are for kids! Last Friday the print media like the WaPo parroted the NYTimes ‘pimp my book pre-sales’ account of how George Bush was tapping your 79-year-old grandmum’s phone line. As if making her wait long periods in uncomfortable positions at all hours in the AM at the security check at the airport isn’t enough. Instead why not hire someone proven to sweep the news cycle by stomping some poor Texan into the turf?

Blog Irony

I try to keep posts like this to a minimum so as not to fool haters into believing I’m following their antics or will change anything I do or say. Just a few of observations: 1) Blogging for over two years, I’ve learned a lot about obsessive human behavior: jealousy, envy, cyber-stalking, bad parody, the [...]
