Every time I see people celebrating this fake holiday, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Funny, in Africa they have never celebrated "Kwanzaa" - and they would look at you funny if you asked them about it...

The best thing: Kwanzaa uses Swahili and Swahili is a language spoken in East Africa. The slaves came from West Africa.

Kwanzaa is the funniest holiday ever created by an ExCon.

Starting this January 2nd we will start celebrating "Fred-Za" day. No special significants... just guys named fred will exchange pocket and/or belly-button lint.
See anyone can make up a holiday.

There is no "African" culture any more than there is a "European" culture or "Asian" culture that would cover the entire continents. Kwanzaa is nothing more than Marxism with Swahili names

That's not the funniest part. Swahili is a language created by and for slavers, the mixed Arab and Bantu slavers of the eastern coast of Africa who hauled black slaves to the middle east.

"A lot of African-Americans to this day really don't acknowledge the role that Africa has in the world," Ware said. What role is that, exactly? A bottomless pit for U.S. taxpayer dollars? The favorite location for the Animal Planet channel? The disease capital of the world?

It's just another creation of the fantasy-driven liberal minds. It is a sham.

Are these people really THAT stupid to be buying in to this made-up 'holiday'? I guess if they eat up Jesse Jackson's bu**shit, they'll believe ANYTHING that is anti-whitey!

"African culture"?
WHICH African culture? The one in Egypt, Morocco, South Africa? Which country? Which tribe in Cameroon? Even the single countries have no ONE culture themselves. "Black" culture? Muslim culture? Ethiopian Christian culture? Egyption Coptic culture? Bantu, Masai, Somali? Samburu? TOO MANY cultures.
There is no one "African culture." Never has been, and, as long as there are Arabs, blacks and whites in that huge continent, I doubt if there ever will be on.
Plua, celebrating a culture of another continent with a MADE-UP celebration defeats the whole purpose of celebration. TRADITIONS are celebrated. There is no tradition, African, American or black, with this phoney-baloney holiday. It's all butthump.
To: EagleUSA
The really pathetic part is the teacher feeding this BS to her students because "they don't know about African history". Ah yes, all those great historica Kwanzaa celebrations in Swahili, in West Africa.
