Kwanzaa: A celebration of sexual abuse and violence against women

Every Christmas season, I see that the USPS comes out with a vibrant new stamp celebrating the made-up tradition of Kwanzaa...

https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/kwanzaa-S_556604

Why would the US Postal Service, an independent agency of the United States federal government, celebrate a "holiday" which was founded by a psychotic individual who brutalized and tortured women?

The creator of Kwanzaa is Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga, a 77-year-old professor of Africana studies at California State University, Long Beach. His real name is Ronald Everett. Karenga was convicted in 1971 for brutally torturing two naked women with a soldering iron, a vise and a toaster.

The women were members of Karenga’s ultra-radical, paramilitary, black nationalist cult called the US Organization, which went by the acronym US. The women were held at gunpoint, forced to disrobe and were beaten with an electrical cord and a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. Karenga tortured the two women with the help of other members of his cult because Karenga believed that the torture victims were using magic crystals to assassinate him on behalf of his enemies.

When they denied it, they were beaten with an electrical cord and a hot soldering iron was put in one of the women's mouth and against her face. He also tightened one of the women's big toes in a vise, and put detergent and running hoses in their mouths and holding a gun, threatened to shoot both of them, as well as hitting them on the heads with toasters.

In spite of all that, the USPS comes out with a new stamp every year, and people celebrate something this psycho came up with.

....and Adolf Hitler came up with Volkswagen.
The fact that someone is mentally unstable doesn’t mean that they can’t come up with some good ideas.
@DragonFruit True that.

@ThatCommieChick or heated swimming pools. Mann has evolved a little and most likely the majority didn't have an ancestor on the Pinta , Santa Maria or the Nina. Nor did we have slave owners in our history or wonder around for 40 years in a desert. Maybe we've comes far enough that on spite of the initiators crimes we find a peace cry to gather as friends and celebrate life and create happiness for a day or two and share a joy.

I bet they sold a lot of stamps. Maybe the proceeds should go to these two women.
