Black conservative pingIf you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I know a number of black born-again believers, and am unaware of one who celebrates this nonsense. Therefore, I suspect that the writer is speaking of blacks who call themselves 'Christians' and do this. It's akin to caucasians who call themselves 'Christians' and yet fall for all manner of liberalism. Proving once again that just because one stands in a garage doesn't mean one is a car.

You do realize that there is only ONE universal fruitcake, which is re-gifted around the world and has a shelf-life of 10,000 years. ;)

Kwaanza is a pagan earth worship event, and a very minor African celebration. It was introduced into American culture for one reason only, it is celebrated at Christmas time, and its worship here helps to dilute the true meaning of the
Christmas Season.
Like the comparatively minor Jewish holiday called "Chanuka", Kwaanza has no religious comparison whatsoever to the major Christian Holy Day of Christmas. Christmas is an entire holy Season on the Christian calendar that commemorates the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Kwaanza celebrates the earth, Chanuka celebrates a battle between the Greeks and Jews over Jerusalem.
One small way to combat this attack on our Christian faith is to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone this season, and dispense with the PC "happy holliday" bs. Also, buy only CHRISTMAS cards to send to your friends, and don't buy that "Happy Hollidays" nonsense. This will ensure that more and more CHRISTMAS will be put into the Christmas Season.

Thank you! It's amazing - even when ordering gifts over the phone and you say 'Merry Christmas', how they squirm like it's a dirty phrase! I am in the belly of the beast lefty California bay area, but have noticed this nationwide.

My mother's fruit cake exists for only five seconds. I wonder if that's because of the rum she puts in it.

*** Not even. It's not even about paganism. It's an atheistic communist holiday. I think more sissy white liberals celebrate kwanzaa than anyone else.
BTW, I'm also on the 'Merry Christmas' bandwagon. I hate 'happy holidays' and the all nauseating 'season's greetings'.

Funny how he's carrying on about paganism while various pagan trappings of the Saturnalia are taken as part and parcel of normative Christmas observance.

What is it about these scum-of-the-earth characters emerging as "black leaders."

"I told you so" bump, from Atlanta. I saw that coming a mile away, just like the media's infatuation and coddling of Islam.
