I celebrate Christmas and Freeper Day.

[GeronL]

You do celebrate FReeper Day don't you?? =o)

OK OK.... there SHOULD be a FReeper Day!

[Hank Rearden]

I'm into Festivus, personally. Each year, around this time, during the Airing of the Grievances, we bitch about Kwanzaa.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

PING! LOL

[Hawkeye's Girl]

That's a good question. I don't know anyone who celebrates it; does anyone here or know someone who does?

[The Duke]

Personally I'm really in favor of Kwanzaa. It keeps trash like the Clintons out of *MY* Christmas holiday season.

I doubt Kwaanza is widely celebrated nor will it ever be. But this won't stop the major media from hyping it. I'll bet the dopey morning shows (Katey Couric , Diane Sawyer) showcase this misfit holiday invented by a misfit nutcase, Ron Karenga.

Very few people actually celebrate Kwanzaa. Most black americans look forward to sharing Christmas with family. If however, Kwanzaa survives for another 100 years, and expands to include something deeper in its meaning, then it might be on the same level as Christmas, but will probably still only be celebrated by a limited number of people. Hmmm, in a hundred years, I wonder who will consider themselves black? How will "black" people define themselves? Will it be skin color/eye type/hair type -- I doubt it, pretty much eliminated that barrier during slavery 300 years ago. I wonder what the binding value set will be...

Last year at this time, Bush did. Seriously. Ann Coulter wrote an angry column about it that was posted here.

Ann 'somebody' had a great column on it:

Liberals are absolutely in love with the concept of Kwanzaa as the Black Americans' alternative to Christmas; but do any Black Americans actually celebrate it?

Yes there are Black Americans' that celebrate Kwanzaa

[WasDougsLamb]

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas (just kidding) lol

[RichInOC]

I like to say that Kwanzaa took its name from the Swahili phrase for "hey, let's see if we can get black folks to spend as much money on holiday crap as the white folks do".

[Political Junkie Too]

From Frontpagemag.com, one of the most informative articles on Ron Karenga and Kwanzaa was this one, by Paul Mulshine, which has been reprinted several times.

Happy Kwanzaa

This is what the founder himself, Ron Karenga, had to say about Kwanzaa in a Washington Post interview of many years ago:

"People think it's African, but it's not. I came up with Kwanzaa because Black people wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of Bloods are partying."

[PoorMuttly]

Kwanzaans ?

Here's something worth celebrating;

The Feast Of Alvis. Guns, liquor, and revenge.
