The Seven Principles serve as the foundation of Kwanzaa. They are: unity, self determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.

Collective work? Cooperative economics? Sounds pretty socialistic.

What in the name of the 9 goddesses of Omachron Perseii 8 are you talking about?

"When you go to work, you need umoja every day..."

Howard Roark disagrees...

[Fiji Hill]

Other than the media and government institutions such as the Post Office, I don’t know of anyone who actually celebrates Kwanzaa.

[ Muhammad says she began observing Kwanzaa because she felt its core message spoke to both her culture and spirit. ]

She must have drinking some hair relaxer.. cause her logic is limp as spaghetti..

granfalloon - a false karass; i.e., a group of people who imagine they have a connection that does not really exist. An example is "Hoosiers"; Hoosiers are people from Indiana, and Hoosiers have no true spiritual destiny in common, so really share little more than a name.

Kwanzaa is Marxism in blackface. It’s about as African as a minstrel show.

I know a lot of black families, some of them even into the whole Africa thing, and I don’t think one of them celebrates Kwanzaa. Of course, a rational person who is into the Africa thing might celebrate something African, not something invented in the US in the 60s.

I saw a school thing a while back, where Christmas was described as the “American” holiday and Kwanzaa as the “African” holiday. How wrong could they be, when Christmas is European and Kwanzaa is American?

Jesus once said, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s”. Which Bokonon paraphrased, “Pay no attention to Caesar. Caesar doesn’t have the slightest idea what’s really going on.”

Hi!

Welcome to our website: Black People Love Us! We are well-liked by Black people so we're psyched (since lots of Black people don't like lots of White people)!! We thought it'd be cool to honor our exceptional status with a ROCKIN' domain name and a killer website!!

We hope you think we're as awesome as the Black community does!!
		They even have a link to Kwanzaa on their "Stuff our Friends Care About" page....

President Obama and the first lady sent out Kwanzaa greetings Sunday on the first day of the seven-day celebration.

“Michelle and I extend our warmest thoughts and wishes to all those who are celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season,” Obama said in a statement.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Isn’t Kwanza some made up holiday like Sister’s Day? Something Hallmark came up with to sell cards?

[Doc Savage]

And you wonder how these black morons could vote one of their own into the White House? Question answered!

[Baynative]

An accurate and truthful survey of those who go through the multi day Kwanzaa observance would probably prove it to be promoted more by white liberals than black people.

[constitutiongirl]

Thanks for the laugh.

Charlie Brown Kwanzaa

Not for those easily offended. I loved how he describes the true meaning of Kwanzaa. Classic.

[pgkdan]

There should be a rule against posting Kwanza crap here...

10% of the population celebrates Kwanzaa? That means 30 million of our nation’s 41 million blacks celebrate Kwanzaa?

It's probably more popular among guilt-ridden, liberal whites than it is among blacks.

[Maceman]

10% of the population celebrates Kwanzaa? That means 30 million of our nation’s 41 million blacks celebrate Kwanzaa? This is utter BS.

You are such a cynic. I mean, if you can't trust the African American Cultural Center, who CAN you trust?

Our newspaper Dallas) covered the kwanzaa parade from yesterday.
if I am lyin I am dyin
the coverage daid ‘ nearly a dozen people’ watched the 50 cars parade down the street.’

They also mentioned the Dallas police follwing and running plates for stolen cars.

ok I made up the part about the police but ‘ nearly a dozen”?
about right
