Every year on FR we're reminded of the easily demonstrable fact that Kwanzaa is a complete sham with no roots whatsoever in actual African history.

But here's what we don't hear enough about. Black Americans don't observe Kwanzaa. Oh, maybe a few academics and some other folks posing for the camera pretend to celebrate Karenga's silly, made-up rituals, but actual flesh-and-blood African-American families know less about Kwanzaa than the typical Freeper who's read about it on this forum over the years, and do nothing to participate in it.

Kwanzaa is wholly the child of the left and its guilt-ridden sycophants in the lily white liberal media. Blacks themselves pay no attention to it.

I've seen it celebrated in LA CA.

I didn't know what the hell was going on.

Typically celebrated by the "Black Power" type crowd - the black racists. Especially the middle class types, enjoying the benefits of quotas etc.

While working in Harlem through the 90's, I found the large red ribbons (supposedly a Kwanzaa decoration) quite prevelent on residences.
