Well, it's at least a day after the guy who (as I recall) wasn't a nice guy, made up a holiday, holiday ended.

The few black buddies I have are like “Kwanza? Yeah, right.” (Of course, one of them had to go and turn Muslim. Gag.)

Gee.. I Missed Kwanzaa again...after all that advance planning....my..my...my.

mo history: “Upon hearing of the new “holiday,” a young unknown Al Sharpton commented that Kwanzaa “would perform the valuable service of “de-whitizing” Christmas.”

not a great deal has changed in that quarter...

I hears one of the tenets of Kwanzaa is Emoji, so now we know who's to blame.

LOL, I remember this pic from years past. White elementary school teachers need to show how liberal they are, so they make a big deal out of Kwanzaa, when few other do.

I read that only about 5% of blacks celebrate Kwanzaa.

It’s supposedly drawn from roots in African harvest celebrations. But people in Africa only know of Kwanzaa as some American thing; they had never heard of Kwanzaa until introduced by American blacks.

Dr. Maulana Karenga was born Ronald McKinley Everett on a poultry farm in Parsonsburg, Maryland on July 14, 1941. He was the seventh son and fourteenth child of a baptist minister. Ronald Everette would eventally change his name 20 years later to Maulana Karenga which translates as “Master Teacher”.

A holiday as phony as its creator.

For some reason, I recall stories of toasters, bdsm and some weird about this guy.

Am I mistaken?
