I thought that all the Albertson's workers were on strike.

a collection of "everything one needs for the Kwanzaa holiday,"What is it? -- an empty basket? (Since Kwanzaa is a fabricated holiday celebrating nothing in particular, a Kwanzaa basket would be an empty one, right?)

"We haven't sold any yet," Dimond said. "Maybe people don't know what they are." Maybe that's because Kwanzaa is a "made up" holiday and NOBODY but the PC police and Grinch Gestapo know what it means.

It would have an AK-47 and several Molotov cocktails for fighting the racist oppresion of the workers by the multinational corporations and their racist backers.

I don't have a problem with the store selling these things, if there was a demand for them. But, it obvious just a PC attempt to pander to the loud mouths.

Not even most of the black community buys this nonsense. A survey last year (I think it was) found that most blacks celebrate Christmas, and give no notice of Kwanzaa.

A basket packed with mentholated cigarettes, food stamps and shower caps.
Lovely.

Better an empty basket than racially stereotyped foods. How insulting can they get?

Great.
They have this crap in stock, but when I go searching every supermarket for a Festivus Basket, oh noooooo - they don't have those.

You're starting with the official Festivus airing of the grievances early.
