I've still never met a person who admits to celebrating Kwanzaa. Every African-American I know celebrates Christmas.
Must be because I am some sort of racist who needs diversity eduction, right?
Why was Tookie put down so close to Kwanza?
"I've still never met a person who admits to celebrating Kwanzaa."
It's sort of a soulful "Festivus," with all the added joy and gravitas that being firmly grounded in Marxism can bring.
Google "Kwaanza". Then Google "Festivus". Count the hits for each.
?
Too strong. Heck? Yeah, that's about right.
Kwanzaa seems to be dying out, IMHO. I hear less and less about it every year.
Tookie....black...Kwanza....joke.
Got it,...must...be...thick ....today
I'm set for English-only.
Kwanzaa: 3.8 Million
Festivus: 775,000
Interesting, considering one is a fictional holiday that is gaining in popularity (Festivus), and the other is a bogus cultural celebration that is losing credibility by the day (Kwanzaa).
BTW, the official currency of the country of Angola is called the Kwanza.
1 Angolan New Kwanza (AON) = 0.01118 US Dollar (USD)
"I've still never met a person who admits to celebrating Kwanzaa."
You'd have to visit an American University to actually see a kwanzaa celebration.
Oddly, the universities are usually closed during Kwanzaa. But it still gets a good push.
The symphony is closed but the melodies linger...
"It is derived from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya Kwanzaa" which means “first fruits.”
OK, so does "Kwanzaa" mean "first" or "fruits" in Swahili? Just wondering.
We should also factor in time.
Kwanzaa originated in 1966, whereas "Festivus" came about (on the Seinfeld show) in 1997.
Comes the day after Festivus.
