If you’re a phony who hates Jesus...
Here’s your holiday.
How do you pronounce the third ‘a’?
I plan on celebrating Kwanza with a pilgrimage to the birthplace of Kwanza in Long Beach, CA. I will partake in the traditional Kwanza sacraments of drinking the malt liquor, smoking Kool cigarettes, listening to hip hop, dribbling basketballs, and playing the knockout game. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. /s
I think the word has pretty sufficiently gotten around about the history of this phony holiday and its inventory, and that it actually peaked a few years ago and is going downhill.
Was working on Nov/Dec’s cryptograms, from the American Cryptogram Association’s bi-monthly journal.
Several referenced the holidays - one pointed out how Kwanza celebrants often enjoy African foods brought to the US, like Sesame seeds, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and collard greens.
The thing is, of those only sesame seeds are native to Africa, and they were being grown in the Middle East more than 3,000 years ago. (Peanuts are native to Paraguay, Sweet Potatoes to Yucatan, Collard Greens were grown by the ancient Greeks.)
None of these were introduced to the US by Africans.
Which made the quotation very much, I think, in the spirit of Kwanza.
First time I heard this year was this post... Was hoping to not hear about it again.
Don’t know why you’re dissin’ Kwanza. It’s just as legitimate as Festivus.

Thanks! I’ll still pull from the archives, the best voice for Kwanzaa, Shirley Q. Liquor, compliments of ‘The Walton and Johnson Radio Show’
If you can’t find that, or wish to do a quick access, here ya go!

Scientology for blacks.
It is a fake holiday created in the 60’s by Ron Everett, who was convicted of kidnapping and torturing 2 women with a sodering iron.
But that minor detail would never stop Sandra Lee, aka Gov. Cuomo’s shack up partner:
This was from a REAL show, not an SNL skit
