No, it’s still celebrated by white, female, grade-school teachers everywhere.

The only Happy Kwanzaa wishes I saw were from President Trump and Mike Pompeo. Nothing from the Obamas. No mention of it at my kids' elementary school (with a significant black student population).

I think it's safe to say that the delusion that there is a holiday named Kwanzaa that black people celebrate is finally being put to rest.

Personally, I like to let sleeping dogs lay.

Kwanzaa lives on in the heart of every confused Afro-American?

Nope - not here..the local NBC AM newscast mentioned it every day of the “holiday” and even had special news segments on it.

Now only if we could put to rest the delusion that rap is good music.

Ditto for "Bro Country".

Long since subsumed into FESTIVUS! Fedtivus doctrine has been partially adopted into DNC doctrine...particularly “The Airing of Grievances”

I’ve lived and worked closely with Black people all my life. I’ve never known a single one who celebrated ‘Kwanzaa’.

Only single white female public school teachers celebrate Kwanza.

George Bush championed this, along with every other two bit politician.

Trump has uncovered the total hypocrisy, laziness, cowardice and true persuasions of the GOP and of course the DEMS.

The DEMS no longer can hide under some progressive moniker. He’s got them so far out there, it’s hilarious.

Problem is, you still have the Romney’s and the other RINO’s wanting to “get along with these people.”

LOL. And why do they do this? To prove that they are with it, to prove that they aren’t racist?

If Apple would just remove it from their OS calendar, already.

It’s still mentioned, but it does seem to be losing steam.
I think they would have been more successful if it was introduced as a holiday in Jan or Feb or March rather than trying to follow Christmas.
