Yes, the Republican National Committee WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and RNC Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following statement commemorating Kwanzaa:
“I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating Kwanzaa,” said Chairman Priebus. “For families coming together to mark the occasion, I hope it is a joyous time of celebration with loved ones–and a time of meaningful reflection ahead of the New Year.”
“From December 26 through January 1, many families will take time to celebrate African culture and history. Kwanzaa is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to honor the importance of family and community, and it reminds us of the great diversity in America. Happy Kwanzaa!” said Co-Chairman Day
Many Public Schools are nothing more than “Prep Schools” for State Penal Institutions.
Reason #824756 why I’m no longer a Republican: Idiotic pandering.
And these jerks want me to send them money.
“Kwanzaa is an even more dishonest event than Xmas is.”
Wait - what?
What is Xmas?
I wouldn’t know. I have never celebrated Xmas, whatever that is
You don’t? I celebrate it every year.
“Xmas” is a centuries-old name for Christmas (since at least the 1500s), from the Greek letter Chi (X) as a symbol for Christ.
I celebrate Christmas. XMas sounds like Malcom Xmas.
Incidentally, so is Xwanzaa!
Well, there is a Kwanza Celibration here in Fayetteville, NC.
It will be at 5:00PM Sat. in the Smith recreation center.
Sunday’s Fayetteville Observer will have a story on it. From past pictures they may get 100 or so folks. An interesting mix to be sure.
Couple of years ago they had a guy dressed like Shaka Zulu. I get the strough black leader bit but he kinda’ created the Zulu Empire by stomping on smaller African tribes. He was murdered 5 years before the Zulu bumped into the Boer. It was Cetshwayo’s Impis that beat the British at Isandlwana.
Then that’s your issue, my friend. Xmas is all about Christ.
I'm sure there are die hard Kwanzaa groups all over the country, but there really isn't all that much interest in it in the black community. It's a bit like a fad that's seen its day.
That’s about the 100 die hards here.
Considering Fayetteville has a population of around 200,000 (300,000 in the greater metropolitan area) and is 49.75% black.
Yeah, not much excitement about Kwanza around here.
