James J. O'Meara reviews the fiction of mulatto Brazilian novelist Machado de Assis, a writer whose background should make him the darling of today's woke crowd but who is oddly ignored by them, most likely because of his extremely un-woke depictions of Brazilian slavery. https://counter-currents.com/2021/12/schopenhauer-as-novelist/

​​Your politically-correct calendar may say Kwanzaa, but no one really celebrates Kwanzaa, even blacks.

So Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!

Kwanzaa was created by American Negro Maulana Karenga (also known for founding the lesser-known black nationalist rivals to the Black Panthers) and is mysteriously similar to Hanukkah...

"To commemorate each day of Kwanzaa, a candle is lit in a seven-branch candelabrum called the 'Kinara.' Now 'Kinara' is supposed to sound like 'Menorah,' but with a 'k' for Kwanzaa."
