Kwanzaa -- the holiday began in 1967 by Marxist Ron Karenga, who would later serve time for felony assault for viciously torturing two women, then become chairman of the black studies department at California State University, Long Beach -- is this week. Do you know anybody who celebrates it?

Yes

No. I think more people celebrate Festivus.

Always a fun poll from these guys!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his death by zot is confirmed or his ghost signs up for the list)

[Poser]

Bumpity bump.

[metmom]

Happy to comply...

"No. I think more people celebrate Festivus."

LOL! Probably true. The only suff I've ever seen Kwanzaa-related was in the media and from politicans...and I live in the deep south.

The lobby of the Wells Fargo bank in downtown Minneapolis has a large lighted menorah. Right next to it is a Kwanzaa menorah - or whatever the hell they call it.

I walk by during the holidays and think (with much sarcasm) "Oh yeah, there's a lot in common between Hannukah and Kwanzaa."

[Rosemont]

What is Kwanza supposed to be celebrating? The Kwanza candleholders look like the Jewish candle holders on Hanuka.

[Little Ray]

No. And I don't care to.

[SkiKnee]

I'd rather be driving my Kwanzaa.

My two Senators do...one from his compound in Hyannisport and the other from his wife's compound on Martha's Vineyard.

I think a WHOLE LOT more people acknowledge Festivus. I'm serious. I bet even if they don't actually buy a pole and actually celebrate Festivus, tons of people can explain it off the top of their heads.

This year I must have happily missed it because I did not see any stupid rigmarole about Kwanzaa on TV even. I think Kwanzaa is going down the tubes and none too soon.

What a stupid poll!

'Festiva' if anything is worse than kwanza...

[PandaRosaMishima]

I've been considering writing the book "Santa Claus Learns About Kwanzaa". Anyone wanna help out?
