Ron Everitt, who calls himself Maulana Karenga, is the man who started the holiday known as Kwanzaa. He's an interesting character for sure, and he wants to violate your property rights by taking your money. As he wrote in 2005 about reparations:
" . . . reparations also requires compensation in various forms. Compensation can never be simply money payoffs either individually or collectively. Nor should the movement for reparations be reduced to simply a quest for compensation without addressing the other four aspects. Indeed, compensation itself is a multidimensional demand and option and may involve not only money, but land, free health care, housing, free education from grade school through college, etc."
Interestingly, he spent almost four years in a California state prison for assaulting and torturing over a two-day period two women from an organization he founded. The conviction was for felony assault and false imprisonment. According to the wikipedia account on him, he embraced Marxism while in prison.
I'll admit I don't know enough about the man, but I'm sure I don't want to celebrate a holiday started by some guy born on a poultry farm in Maryland and who embraces communism while wanting to violate my property rights.
By the way, everybody, Merry Christmas!
In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

coldn't find where to post this but goes well under violation of property rights
I heard about this a few months ago. Amazing.
What is with these people? Was he "harmed" personally? Granted slavery was an awful system but does this man realize that many of his "own" sold fellow countrymen into slavery? Ask Africa for repartation! As an Acadian I am well aware of mans inhumanity, my ancestors were ripped from their homes and lands and sent on ships to colonies that didn't want them. Many died, many never saw families again but many survived and created a culture of perserverance. What is and has always been of utmost importance to the Cajuns is God, family and a love of life. There are some lessons there for the Ron Everitts of the world. The "hand-out" mentality needs to end, it has crippled a multitude.
