"The same California university system that helped give us Kwanzaa, Angela Davis, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris wrecked the state and the country. And it isn’t done yet. Imagine if we stopped funding it."
"In 1965, Ronald McKinley Everett changed his name to Maulana Karenga, in 1966, he invented the fictional holiday of Kwanzaa, in 1969, members of his US black nationalist organization got into a gunfight with Black Panthers at UCLA, in 1971, he was arrested for torturing two women, and in 1989, he was hired as the chair of the black studies department at a California State University college where he currently teaches on subjects such as “the socio-ethical thought of Malcolm X” and “Ancient Egyptian Maatian Ethics” (after the goddess Maat).

"When Chancellor Charles Young (later the head of the Qatar Foundation) took office, UCLA had a 12% minority population. Young, like many radical administrators, was on a mission to rapidly increase the minority population through affirmative action and make it more appealing to them with identity politics courses of the kind being championed by the Ford Foundation.
"Karenga (pictured above) was admitted to UCLA despite being a high school dropout. UCLA had created the ‘High Potential Program’ as a form of affirmative action to enable black students with poor grades and not much of an academic track record (but ‘high potential’) to be admitted ahead of more qualified students on account of their race. Or at least that was the theory.
