Kwanzaa's roots stretch from York [PA] to Africa

My sister seems to believe in Saint Harry Potter.
You can take from there.

Seems to me Kwanzaa only separates Americans based on skin color, and does nothing to celebrate a common American heritage.

Kwanzaa is unique in that is exclusively for people of a certain skin color. I can think of no other holidays or celebrations that are exclusive to a single race.

Glad you posted Tony's expose of this made-up fraud called kwanzaa..(2 a's at the end cause they needed 7 letters!)
Who the hell cares when some criminal invents a holiday anyway?

[Nifster]

more like from Berkeley California commie

I think “Kwanzaa” is a bullshit holiday, sort of like Groundhog Day.

[driftless2]

Like Halloween, Valentine's Day, and St. Patrick's Day, Groundhog Day is NOT!!! a holiday...it is an observance.

I just posted the entire Snow piece in the comments following the article. Thanks for the linkage!

[Fungi]

Thank you.

And yet another Kwanzaa exposé (Ann Coulter’s annual attack):

Man, I miss Tony Snow.

[lightman]

Not exactly...

Halloween (Hallow E’ning) is the Eve of All Hallow’s/All Saint’s day.

Valentine was on the Roman Catholic calendar until calendar reforms in the wake of Vatican II and he continues to be listed on the Orthodox calendar.

St. Patrick is on the calendars of all the liturgical churches (Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Orthodox) and, remarkably, all commemorate him on the same day—March 17.

Groundhog Day—the marmot co-opted the Christian Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple (and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary), again universally celebrate by the liturgical churches 40 days after Christmas.

Groundhog day is an observance—Candlemass is a Holyday.

The roots are no deeper than a chia pet.

[GeronL]

I agree with that

[Fungi]

Tony Snow was a true Christian, a true conservative, and a man among men. I miss him too. He had his own radio show for a while, filled in for a number of syndicated hosts, and even once said “ I love being married.” He had a real life, a real wife, real children. The Lord took take him way too soon. Don’t worry, his in Christ’s arms. But who am I to question the Lord’s work? Humble yourself and know that I am Lord. Ezekiel 20:44.

Holidays in this country are days off. Nobody gets those days off from work unless it is a planned vacation day or a birthday.

great...white girl write about kwanza...leave out that Karanga is a felon

[jonrick46]

Exactly. Kwanza is as as phony as the Festivus Pole. If people are so gullible for this crap, I have some scrapings off the bottom of my shoe that I can offer as a gourmet elixir from the gods.
