Why a new holiday, he’s already got Kwanzaa.

......Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society.”[3] The name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza”, meaning “first fruits”. The choice of Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism, especially in the 1960s.

Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the black nationalist movement of the 1960s,

Okay, if you say so, but the pissant that created it is a convicted felon with a propensity to place the big toes of women in vises.

He is also the poster boy for Affirmative Action, since he was "awarded" several doctorates, based upon the fact that he showed up at the right time and place, dressed as a..., uh, Christmas tree, I think.

Kwanzaa is bullcrap, but hey, if someone wants to worship the foreleg of a cockroach, it's okay with me.

Just call it what it is and don't force it on me.
