"I send greetings to those observing Kwanzaa."

Kawanza was invented in 1966 by Ron Karenga (a nice chap who used to beat his girlfriends with electric cords and burn their faces and mouths with hot irons).

Nobody in Africa has ever celebrated "Kwanzaa" (which uses North American Indian corn--maize--as part of its celebration).

It's a lot of fictional babble invented with the intention of making a non-white Christmas.

Why anybody would pander to the worst hate-mongers of the 1960s by continuing this nonsense is beyond me.
