I have some Nigerian friends - there are a lot of Nigerian Engineers... Anyway, I asked one of them several years ago about Kwanzaa, and its relationship to Africa. His response was priceless.
He got quite animated, and started spouting off about “that fake s#!t”, and how it was made up by some idiot trying to make money or something. I love how the real Africans have such disdain for a lot of the foolishness the libs have made up.
Good story. I've often wondered what authentic Africans thought about this fraud holiday.
Kwanzaa is cobbled together out of bits and pieces appropriated from Western tradition, weirdly disembodied and out-of-context ... then superficially glazed over with a pseudo-African theme.
I doubt the holiday's inventor even knew what the concept of "first fruits" means. He probably thought it sounded cool (and hey, holiday celebrations have to involve food somehow).
