What are your thoughts on Kwanzaa? Do you celebrate it? Can the Pan African Revolutionary Movement incorporate it, and other Afrocentric holidays?

I’m not down with the concept of an Afrocentric Holiday, not any more.I organized Kwanzaa celebrations, and I still participate when I’m invited to, but I’m doing so for the community, not for Kwanzaa.We need real celebration and recognition ceremonies, festivals, and rituals; were we have tangible achievements and honored ancestors we recognize, promote, and build on/with.  We need to actually do what we too often pretend to...

How do you feel about Kwanzaa and the man behind it?

I’m disappointed that Kwanzaa has not provoked the fundamental cultural transformation needed in the Black community in the US and has been fully integrated, and fits comfortably within to the US Whole-Lie-Day Season starting with Thanksgiving and ending with the New Years Celebration.  I have nothing good to say about the founder of Kwanzaa, but I don’t know him personally, so my criticism is not personal,  I suggest look up what...

What are your views on Fidel Castro?

I think he’s one of the greatest Statesmen of the modern era.  That rare combination of Warrior and Bureaucrat.I wish he would have followed Che’s insights on Revolution however.  Che warned that if they didn’t no immediatly build on and expand the Cuban Revolution to all of the Carri bean, Latin America, and African then Cuba would become isolated by the Capitalist powers and he’d be forced to compromise his principles...
