I ask this because a group of blacks in my office were talking about this and they all seemed to agree that they didnt know anyone that celebrated this holiday NOT to stir up any racial BS. They seemed to infer that this was some sort of made up or faux holiday. I personally have never meet anyone that celebrates it but hey I'm white. Yet I do see more and more Happy Kwanzaa mentioned during the holiday season. Why is this?
The histoy of Kwanzaa is listed below. Take a look at the background of the black nationalist who invented it. He seems to be quite the nefarious character to me. Convicted of touturing women???
"In 1971, Karenga "was sentenced to one to ten years in prison on counts of felonious assault and false imprisonment". One of the victims gave testimony of how Karenga tortured her and another woman whom he had accused of attempting to assassinate him."

Black folks didn't celebrate Christmas either before we arrived on these shores. So what? Black folks can only celebrate the holidays that white people sanction?
What we do and don't celebrate is our business. The origin and meaning of Kwanzaa is a matter for those who want to celebrate it...nefarious or not. You don't like it, then don't celebrate it. I really don't see what's so hard about that.
Supposedly, this thread wasn't started with "racial b.s." in mind. I beg to differ.
BTW...i know a "few" people who celebrate Kwanzaa.

And you are 100% correct.
Now they will lambaste you for being intolerant of their intolerance. Standard procedure.

Seems like a desperate act of Afrocentrism...
