Each year, kwanza fades more and more. In five years people will say ‘Kwanza? What?’ It’s a good thing.

Little Black Sambo was Indian (the subcontinent, not the baseball team) not African or African-American.

Kwanza is as as phony as the Festivus Pole.

Hey! Leave the Festivus Pole out of it or I'll challenge you in a "Feats of Strength"!

Good. It’s Yamomma day. We celebrate this Kwanzaa day by telling jokes about people’s mothers.

Yes, I know the origin of Little Black Sambo being Indian and not African, but many Indians and Africans have very dark skin colors and were both portrayed as “black”.

As I recall (well over 50 years ago), the Little Golden Book really didn’t make the distinction between the two continents. Little Black Sambo was just, well, black. The tiger that turned into butter wasn’t identified as being from India or Africa, either.

Remember Sambo’s coffee shops? I recall their murals being non conclusive as to Sambo’s origin as well. But that was in the early 1970s, so these memories aren’t recent either.

I can think of no other holidays or celebrations that are exclusive to a single race.

Even St. Patrick's Day is a day when we're all welcomed to be Irish.

Until the hangover wears off...

What they seem to be worshiping is hate

There certainly is no shortage of an anti-white bias among the lower echelons of black societies. It even extends to an anti-black bias if those blacks happen to become successful or (shudder) conservative.

I have two mixed race nieces who are constantly accused of acting/talking/being "white" (spit here) because of their complete rejection the ghetto mannerisms and lifestyle.

And do I even have to bring up Reverends White, Jackson, or Sharpton at this point?

Are there tigers in Africa?

Do you mean the Sambo’s family restaurants? They were named for their owners - Sam and Bob.

Remember Sambo’s coffee shops?

I do, indeed. at the one on Sixth Street in Los Angeles, if you ordered coffee, you could never drain your cup--the wait staff was so efficient that they would keep it full.

I believe the only Sambo's left is in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Hey, I invented that motivational poster over a decade ago!

It was a dig at white female schoolteachers also. A twofer, if you will.
