Thx for the info. I didn’t know anything about Kwanzaa except another celebration aimed at Blacks. I feel with all these extra holidays etc. they actually serve to divide people instead of actually unite them. I’m a Christian and God created all of us! We are to love our Lord with all our hearts, mind, and soul and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
This is the first episode of the AR squared show I have watched. You crushed it. We have so much in common. So glad I found you online. The CC effect. Can’t wait to watch the other episodes. Keep up the great job!!!!
Happy New Year Ms Ross. I've been away for a while because for some reason your videos stopped coming up on my feed. So I typed in your name and Viola! This is what came up 1st. I too admit that I all I ever knew about Kwanzaa was that it was for African American's Christmas. Thank you for educating people on this topic. You are an amazing teacher and that's what I love about your channels. Your ability to sort out facts from fiction and unbiased thought is what keeps me coming back. Your unwavering adherence to your values and beliefs is unmatched. Thank you for doing your thing on TH-cam.
Happy New Year Adrienne!!! I was aware that you had this other Channel, but I never came around until you reminded me like 50 times. 😝 OK Everything Liked & Subscribed! Kwanzaa... I started my college adventure in 1972 and I had a great political science professor who taught us all about Kwanzaa. Sometimes people don't think about what they are doing. Makes you wonder?
I'm glad you came over! Much appreciated. You are right. We often don't think about things, and things just often seem harmless. Sometimes, that's the case. Sometimes, we find ourselves celebrating things that are an affront to our very own beliefs.
Thank you, Adrienne. For many years I thought it was a good thing. I have some friends who celebrate and some who don’t. I wonder how many today really understand the purpose or foundations.
I'm glad I found out you didn't know. I did a whole rebranding video on the main channel and a few more things about the new channel. I often mention it now (although I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea from the main channel), so I'm glad it caught your attention this time! Glad you're here! 😊
" Then Jesus said to those Jews that believed; if you continue in My Word, then you will be My disciples indeed. And, you will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Attending a Bible based church is immeasurably necessary for growing in grace and the knowledge and revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Leaving behind cultural and worldy connections has been a stumbling block for many since the first century. Cultural identifications make people feel significant and affirmed, but they have no power or ability to connect people to God and His saving grace. I would only point out that this isn't significant or unique to African American culture. But, I'm in total agreement with you. As a Christian, I absolutely don't participate in these types of practices. They are not Christ centered, and therefore, they do not hold Him, rightfully, in His Honor as LORD of all!
I would warn you about Paul based on the command that everything is established by the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses. There are things Paul says that only he says. Not cool. It only takes a little leaven to spoil the whole lump. You can find what they are on TH-cam.
If that's a picture behind you that you intend to use for a while @adrienne, then I think your logo might be seen better in the bottom left corner (as we look at it). I know you're not "selling" us your "business", but since you went to the trouble of creating logo's it's "important" that a "new business" gets their logo out there. It gets your "brand" out there. Another way of doing it would be putting a background colour behind your logo that makes it stand out, wherever you place it, whatever colour you place it on.
I didn't know this background, but it was too much "self" help like we don't need Christ! We are not all one in Christ Jesus; only those He died for and saved. He came to save His people from their sin (Matthew 1:21 kjv).
I had to look it up ... apparently it is an african american holiday ... which in terms of temporal metric makes it all of 500 -600 years old at best after it had been posthumously repurposed in teh past 50 years( ? )for ethnocentric reasons due to politcs. Why bother celebrating a defunked sold and pimped out holiday. Curious if they celebrate kwanzaa in wakanda. NVM you know the answer.
Wow, I didn’t know any of this. Thank you for the history lesson. Great episode.

I've seen a lot of white people and people of different nationalities celebrate Kwanzaa. People seem to be united in this deception.

Wow! I had no idea what was behind it. Thanks for sharing this info. It sounds so good and looks good!

I always enjoy your content! Thank you so much!

Happy New Year to you also!
Thank you for sharing and reflecting on this. I like learning, even if reading / comprehension have been a lifelong issue. I get you.
I don't celebrate it either. Never have. Spiritually it did not sit right with me. I am American and a follower of Jesus!
Thank you, Adrienne. For many years I thought it was a good thing. I have some friends who celebrate and some who don’t. I wonder how many today really understand the purpose or foundations.
Thank you so much for telling us the truth. Didn't know what it really meant
Interesting.. I never celebrated Kwanzaa. No particular reason but I know a lot of people who do. Happy New Year Adrienne! 🌟
Happy New Year!
Thanks for telling me about your second channel
I'm glad I found out you didn't know. I did a whole rebranding video on the main channel and a few more things about the new channel. I often mention it now (although I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea from the main channel), so I'm glad it caught your attention this time! Glad you're here! 😊
It’s true. You learn something new everyday. Never knew this & I believe many of those who celebrate it don’t either
We Catholics celebrate Dec 26 to Jan 1 as octave of theotokos or the mother of God. Happy theotokos 😊
Thanks for enlightening me. I had never heard of Kwanzaa before.
I do not know anyone who celebrates it

You mean the Kwanzaa picture? I definitely don't intend to keep using that! LOL!
I thought it was Festivus....silly me.

We are not all one in Christ Jesus; only those He died for and saved. He came to save His people from their sin (Matthew 1:21 kjv).
