Many Public Schools are nothing more than “Prep Schools” for State Penal Institutions.

Reason #824756 why I’m no longer a Republican: Idiotic pandering.

[Blue Collar Christian]

And these jerks want me to send them money.

“Kwanzaa is an even more dishonest event than Xmas is.”

Wait - what?

[Gene Eric]

What is Xmas?

[GeronL]

I wouldn’t know. I have never celebrated Xmas, whatever that is

[highball]

You don’t? I celebrate it every year.

“Xmas” is a centuries-old name for Christmas (since at least the 1500s), from the Greek letter Chi (X) as a symbol for Christ.

[GeronL]

I celebrate Christmas. XMas sounds like Malcom Xmas.

[Revolting cat!]

Incidentally, so is Xwanzaa!

Well, there is a Kwanza Celibration here in Fayetteville, NC.

It will be at 5:00PM Sat. in the Smith recreation center.

Sunday’s Fayetteville Observer will have a story on it. From past pictures they may get 100 or so folks. An interesting mix to be sure.

Couple of years ago they had a guy dressed like Shaka Zulu. I get the strough black leader bit but he kinda’ created the Zulu Empire by stomping on smaller African tribes. He was murdered 5 years before the Zulu bumped into the Boer. It was Cetshwayo’s Impis that beat the British at Isandlwana.

Then that’s your issue, my friend. Xmas is all about Christ.

I'm sure there are die hard Kwanzaa groups all over the country, but there really isn't all that much interest in it in the black community. It's a bit like a fad that's seen its day.

[PeteB570]

That’s about the 100 die hards here.

Considering Fayetteville has a population of around 200,000 (300,000 in the greater metropolitan area) and is 49.75% black.

Yeah, not much excitement about Kwanza around here.
