Lubna Muhammad has celebrated Kwanzaa for more than 30 years.
"Kwanzaa is more than a holiday--[it's] a culture that should be applied to everyday life," says Muhammad, owner of Top Shelf Plus in Newark, N.J.
Muhammad says she began observing Kwanzaa because she felt its core message spoke to both her culture and spirit.
"When you go to work, you need umoja every day--that's unity. You need unity with your coworkers," she says.

As in: "Let's see so-and-so is gay, check. So-and-so is black, check." and so on.
I'm not sure if I was more disgusted, or more terrifed that people actually think that way.
Kwanzaa; the only thing the celebration is missing is the Jim Jones kool-aid.
I quit celebrating Kwanzaa because it has become too commercialized.
Good one.
Im still laughing
PDOOMA (Puh-dooma)......’pulled directly out of my ass’....used it a hundred times at least - even in meetings when referring to guesstimates.... because it didn’t match exactly what I wrote isn’t a problem. I’d assumed our FRiends here could figure it out....
Or as his mother called him, "Ron."
“10% of the population celebrates Kwanzaa?”
I think about 10% of the population is comprised of white, female, elementary school teachers. So that sounds about right to me.

Weasel Stomping Day
(Invented by Weird Al Yankovich)
Faces filled with joy and cheer
What a magical time of year
Howdy Ho! It's Weasel Stomping Day
Put your Viking helmet on
Spread that mayonaisse on the lawn
Don't you know it's Weasel Stomping Day
All the little girls and boys
Love that wonderful crunching noise
You'll know what this day's about
When you stomp a weasel's guts right out
So, come along and have a laugh
Snap their weasely spines in half
Grap your boots and stomp your cares away
Hip hip hooray, it's Weasel Stomping Day
People up and down the street
Crushing weasels beneath their feet
Why we do it, who can say?
But it's such a festive holiday
So let the stomping fun begin
Bash their weasely skulls right in
It's tradition, that makes it okay
Hey everyone, it's Weasel Stomping
We'll have some fun on Weasel Stomping
Put down your gun, it's Weasel Stomping Day
Hip Hip Hooray, it's Weasel Stomping Day
Sandra Lee is the main squeeze (and presumed reason for the break up w/Kerrie Kennedy) of one Mr. Cuomo. Hmm...where have we heard that name before.
That is about the lamest cake (and she puts dinner tapers on it!!!) that I have ever seen. Ready made angelfood cake; store bought icing (embellished w/cocoa and cinammon—that part is actually sorta ok); but then there is applie pie filling; ACORNs and pumpkin seeds.
Ewww.
Ron Karenga is a vicious thug who invented a socialist holiday.
Hard to engage in boko-maru online...
Look at the body language in those pictures. The people on the ‘outside’ of the grouping are looking around the two in the middle, as if they are sharing a joke the center two just don’t get...
Actually, the Feast of First Fruits for the Jewish is Yom HaBikkurim, celebrated on Nisan 16, day after the Sabbath, or May 10,11 in 2011.

Kwanzaa is just a cheap counterfeit substitute for the real thing.
