Vanity: Does ANYBODY actually celebrate Kwanzaa?

[mlmr]

This is the article that came up in my Kwanzaa search. It estimates 28 million adherents.

10% of the Population celebrate Kwanzaa??? Are they joking? The entire black populaion inthe country isnt more than 14%

From those I know from Raleigh/Winston-Salem/Fayetteville, NC, to Atlanta, to Memphis, at home in Cleveland to Chicago to here in Dallas, I know not one person who actually celebrates Kwanzaa.

Not one.

Kwanzaa only remains alive due to the left-wing media. That's it.

I wonder how many of those are snotty, rich limosuine white lib dweebs getting in touch with 'afro-american culture'?

[mlmr]

I have never seen anyone white get serious about Kwanzza except for birkenstok wearing earnest leftists.

[cyborg]

yup I don't know anyone black who celebrates kwanzaa, and wonder about MILLIONS of people celebrating.

[FreedomCalls]

Every time I take a shower, I always wash my Kwanzaa.

You're welcome to do whatever you want,

Exactly. Because my time online is limited due to work obligations I'll have to leave the discussion at that for now.

[mafree]

What's up? Can't be online much due to a heavy workload these days.

[cyborg]

Fair enough then.

[Arkinsaw]

Half of all the New Left turmoil and craziness was just about "getting some"

At least that is a motive I can understand.

Merry Christmas.

What is Kwanza?

I see Kwanzaa as just another wedge-----one less thing for black people to have in common with white people.

Respect our differences. Celebrate what we have in common. And let's keep as much in common as Americans as we can.

[sandydipper]

I do.

"I do"

Why??? See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1043678/posts

Ron Everett, aka Karenga, cobbled together a cynical, phony African "celebration" which is really a transparent protest of mainstream America. It is not African.

I know black Africans, as both business acquaintences and as musicians (great musicians!) they are not angry and depressed like militant American blacks. The Africans I know are hard working family types who are conservative and full of good nature. They don't understand the afro-American culture, and insist their own kids speak well and practice discipline.

They would not be caught dead celebrating Quanzaa. Quanzaa insults African blacks by pretending to have African roots.

Why do you celebrate Kwanzaa? Were you raised celebrating it, or did you choose to begin celebrating it on your own?

[sandydipper]

I was kidding - and I was trying to think of some witty come back but everthing I can think of would be censored. So I'm just gonna put my watermelon back under the tree and do a rain dance.

Not much and since the family is in, I'm not here most of the time either.

Hope all is well with you and yours. :-)
