"Black Americans don't observe Kwanzaa."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

Here in south Florida, where black families truly typical of nationwide black sensibilities live, Kanzaa is almost unknown. And I'm saying that having interacted with the black community a good deal.

Harlem is not a typical black community. The academics and poseurs I referred to in my original post, and a black middle class very touchy about appearing sufficiently black and left, inhabit the place.
