Kwanzaa is passe? I guess I'll just have to use my soldering iron, vise and extension cord for home repairs. Maybe I can use my Kwanzaa karate baton for for staking up tomato plants next summer (which I will water with my Kwanzaa hose).

The same people who buy into this communist fantasy are same ones who have been hoodwinked for decades to stay on the dumbocrap plantation.

We had an actual CHRISTMAS show for our school.PC police thought it wise to honor our only “African-American” student with some goofy Kwanza song along with holiday favorites.My daughter later told me that his family celebrates Christmas and does not know what Kwanza is.

You mean you've never been visited by the Kwanza-bot? Each Kwanza,
he hands out copies of a book entitled "What the Hell is Kwanza?"
Me neither.

The same people who celebrate Cracker Day.
A woman I worked with lived in Florida when she was a young child. According to her, Cracker day was when the non- whites would gang up on the white children and chase and beat them. Every year she lived there.

I am at a loss for words.Why? If someone had taught this ignoramus the real meaning of Christmas he wouldn't be saying this. In fact, he probably wouldn't be wasting his time at a matchbook cover shithole like Howard.

I never heard of that one. But it doesn’t surprise me...

People who were actually born in Africa are really offended by the phony Kwanza. The Simpsons had a comment on this:

Playcate, give them what they want. If Mohammed can make up a religion from a pagan moon god so can the blacks make up a holiday of harvest to offset the honkie Christmas.
To: Old Sarge
Hey lets ALL celebrate Kwanzaa! Why should black folks get all the fun! We need a Kwanzaa Klaus! Black guy in a colorful dashiki. Lets hijack the holiday and make it a Fun time for all! Lets make it the joke it should be.

Carl, I am deeply touched by your thoughtfulness during this Kwanzaa season. I will purchase a small tree and decorate it with a curling iron (I don’t have a soldering iron), a small section of hose, a light weight vice grips (from the Dollar Store) and a small bottle of Lux Dish soap. Thanks for getting me in the mood, too. s/

I've got a roll hanging in the bathroom if you need any more.

Did a saint convert your island to Christianity? We'll drink!
Did you win a single battle against the French (but lose the war anyway)? We'll drink!
Do you celebrate huge mugs of beer in Munich? We'll drink!
So why shouldn't a made up holiday of a harvest festival during a time when nothing is being harvested, using terms from a language from the wrong side of the continent invented by a torturing thug be turned into a week of drunkenness?

No, no. Its got to be an old Black guy with a white beard—kinda like Uncle Remus. With his big bag of toys and tricks, maybe some gourdes of strong drink! And yes, a big smile! That’s what Kawanzaa Klaus should look like.

Reader poll result suggests the holiday may be past its primeIt's a shame.
Wishing your friends and relatives a "Happy Kwanzaa" with a straight face followed by a quick chuckle always draws a few laughs.
