I know all you 'crackas' are all excited and aglow now that Kwanzaa has finally arrived.

Enjoy!

[BenLurkin]

This is the holiday where you torture women with jumper cables, yes?

[Navy Patriot]

(Snicker!)

[C19fan]

From my observations Kwanzaa is dead.

Kwanzaa is not a holiday, but a reaffirmation and re-commitment of black hatred toward whites.

It is a race war rally cry and recruitment push.

[bagster]

Kwanza is the one day of the year that the negroes DON’T air their grievances.

[amihow]

Can White People come together and celebrate their roots? How about White looking people who have Black dna? How about Black looking people who have white dna ?

What about ?????

How about emphasizing our shared humanity and ignore the racial identity?

[House Atreides]

To use everyone’s least favorite word.....WHATEVER.

[PROCON]

Hey, white's a color!

[Kirkwood]

The only time I saw kwanza mentioned thus year was on PBS which was blasting happy kwanza blurbs before every cooking show.

[robroys woman]

Kwanza was a completely made up religion and highly racist. It never really caught on. I’ve seen it as comedy since day one.

[bagster]

I'm in shape.

Round's a shape.

[fwdude]

I am proud to say that I’ve never known anyone (knowingly) who celebrates this fake “holiday” nor know of any celebrations in my circle of existence. (and I do know plenty of black people.)

[trisham]

Diversity. Ain’t it wonderful?

[Ammo Republic 15]

ooga booga!

[L,TOWM]

Correct.

The inventor of this “holiday” was a Black Panther and convicted felon that did 3 years for assault and false imprisonment (i.e., kidnapping). He also changed his name at some point — maybe after his conviction, but who cares?

A true hero, without a doubt... (do I really need the sarcasm tag?)
