So what? If people want to celebrate an invented holiday, and I’m not compelled to celebrate it, I don’t care. Let people have Kwanzaa if they want it. The United Kingdom doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving Day, either, and Americans don’t celebrate the Queen’s official birthday. It’s not worth the fluff and spit, people.

Obviously, different nations are going to have mostly different national holidays.

In my opinion, our best holidays are the ones that try to bring people in America together to celebrate a shared heritage; the things we have in common. My biggest problem with "Kwanzaa" is that it was created solely for the purpose of trying to divide people; specifically to try and divide blacks from the rest of America.

It was to celebrate the defeat of the French.

The ironic thing is that the majority of the celebrants of Cinco De Mayo in the US do not know this.

Many just celebrate it as an excuse to party.

Isn't Kwanzaa Boba Fett's kid?

That's little Kwanzaa Fett on the right.

There is nothing interesting about Kwanzaa.

This may not be a popular idea, but...the reason they don't celebrate it there is because those folks don't have to be constantly proving their identity.

Here we have foolishness like Andrew Young and others suggesting some blacks aren't black enough.

In South Africa, people don't feel the need to advertise their blackness, I guess. Here, identity politics is crucial to liberal power. If they gave up that game here, people might look into history and see that most black Americans were Republicans for the longest time, because they were voting as PEOPLE, and AMERICANS, and not some ethnic bloc.
