My professor at Cal State Long Beach invented it.
Why don't we put them in chains and let them crawl into the hold of a ship to really get a feeling of history that doesn't have anything at all to do with them? It's 2011 and this is america.
I’m dreaming of a white Kwanzaa....
Maybe I’ve just learned to tune it out — and, of course, I never listen to TV — but it seems that Kwanzaa fever has diminished in recent years. Maybe the fact that blacks never really celebrated it had something to do with it. Guilty whites just wished they did (for some reason).
Happy RamaHanaKwanzMas!
I remember at my daughters “Winter Concert” at school they saluted all celebrations including Kwanzaa. Her school only had one black boy so he had to sing the Kwanzaa part. He’s a nice kid and he said it was embarrassing to him because he doesn’t celebrate it AND he was forced to stand out from the rest “like a freak”.
Kwanzaa is to Christmas what Rap is to music.
